Podcast interview on ESPN Action Sports

I recently photographed Rick Thorne for a new portfolio I’m working on. While we were there, he interviewed me for his podcast, ESPN Action Sports. Rick and friends cover the scene with interviews of athletes, bands, and others as well as introducing new music and new bands.

Heroes

Before I ever became interested in photography, I was into BMX. I mean, INTO BMX. It was everything. And that started when I picked up my first issue of BMX Action magazine in 1982, collecting articles on anything to do with E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial. The magazine tested the Kuwahara E.T., the same bike Elliott rode in the movie. I fell in love with the sport through Bob Osborn’s lens. From there I was HOOKED. I got my first BMX bike that year and from then on, that sport is what I ate, drank and slept. What does that have to do with photography?

Product Review: Think Tank Urban Disguise 70

I’ve had the chance to use one of Think Tank’s newest bags, the Urban Disguise 70. It’s an impressive bag, both in capacity and build quality.

Working on the set of a television show

Millimeter was a good client. I was hired to shoot some behind-the-scenes images on the set of Titus. The significance was that they were getting the first CineAlta cameras directly after they were finished shooting George Lucas’ second Star Wars trillogy. Titus was the first sitcom ever shot with that camera, one of the first shot in HD.

Retro Behind-the-Scenes Video

Here’s a little behind-the-scenes from a pinup layout I shot for Hot Rod magazine a few years back. It was a fun project, shot over several days both in studio and on location. I shot it mostly with Hasselblad cameras, but had just started shooting digitally with a Nikon Coolpix. You’d think a Coolpix, especially back in the day, wouldn’t have been good for print. Quite the opposite.

Nudity, ESPN and prudes

ESPN the Magazine recently published their “Body Issue” on October 19, 2009, celebrating the incredible bodies of some of our favorite athletes. The work was beautifully shot by several amazing shooters, including James White, Sarah H. Friedman, Patrik Giardino, Sheryl Nields, Olugbenro Ogunsemore, James Dimmock and others. The work is incredible, a truly stunning portfolio celebrating the beautiful form of the athletes we all admire.

Behind The Scenes: Courtenay Semel Shoot

I recently photographed Courtenay Semel for Curve Magazine. The magazine interviewed her for the next issue, and they hired me to shoot the cover and inside spread.

ContourHD Helmet Cam

As a photographer, motion photography interests and fascinates me as a medium as much as still photography. Small, easily mounted cameras make camera-mounted images so much easier.

How To: DIY Sound Blimp For Under $150

A sound blimp is the perfect thing for shooting in virtual silence on movie and TV sets, PGA games, anyplace where you need silence. You can rent or buy the professional ones, like Jacobsen, for just over a thousand dollars. They’re purpose-built and fantastic. But I’ve built my own for a few of my digital bodies, and they’re a lot less expensive.

The Importance of Attending Trade Shows

I’m just finished with Interbike, the big bicycle trade show in Las Vegas. I try to go every year to catch up with industry friends and keep in contact with those that can and do hire me to create images for them. It’s important, especially in this economy, when the dollars to hire photographers are being held onto tightly by some companies.

My X Games Podcast Interview

I’ve found a new podcast that I really enjoy. This one also interviewed me for the current interview on Adorama Camera’s site.
