In Print Atom Lab Advertisment

I haven't posted anything for a while on this blog, but I have been really busy all summer. I shot Crankworx Co for Decline last weekend, I will post more on that soon.. In the meantime, this is an ad the Atom Lab has been running in various mags over the summer, I saw it in the Aug issue of Decline. It is a shot I took this year at Sea Otter. Glad to see that it got put to use.. Thanks Atom Lab!

I scanned this in from the mag, but due to the size a little bit got cut off the end...

Haro Bikes web edit, Teva Games 2010

I shot this web vid for Haro bikes while I was out at the Teva Games this year. It is basically just a course overview and some riding from the Haro Team, Eric Porter, Greg Watts and Brian Miller. You can see the edit on the Haro website as well.

Ellsworth Road Bike Shoot

I did a road shoot for Ellsworth Bikes a few weeks ago, and now that they have made their selection of photos I though I would post a few. This is a prototype Ellsworth Coefficient, and it is quite the ride. I don't know all of the details on this bike, but I do know that it has been hush hush... and if it says Ellsworth on it you can bet there were no shortcuts in building it. Ellsworth Bicyces are handmade in the USA, and built with pride.

The athlete pictured is James Lawrence, and he is riding in 30 triathlons this year. He is riding to help raise money to build earthen dams in africa to store rainwater, and provide clean drinking water for the people. You can read more about him here

The day the shoot was scheduled it turned out to be really grey and gloomy.. We had planned on shooting at sunset to get good light, and although we didn't get a sunset, we did end up getting some pretty dynamic looking clouds. In the end I was happy with how the shots turned out.

3 weekends 3600 miles

I spent the last 3 weekends shooting on the road.. California, Colorado, and Oregon.. It is good to be busy for sure, but it is also nice to be home. The Ranch Style comp in Grand Junction was killer. The course was super dialed this year. It is always a good event to be at, chill vibe, cool location and good crowd. I got some sick shots of the event, including a sunset photo session with Graham Aggasiz and Eric Lawernuk... look for the shots in and upcoming issue of DECLINE mag. Also I shot a web edit for vitalMTB-

Ranchstyle Slopestyle 2010 - More Mountain Bike Videos

Last weekend was spent shooting in Bend, Oregon and Jamie Goldman's "Upside Down and Under Ground Invitational" His yard is so epic. Huge jumps, multiple lines, drops, berms, all kinds of rad features. We also sessioned the Slalom Course and DJ's in Bend which were super fun too.. Bend is definitely MTB friendly. The comp was rad, the level of riding was unreal. Mike Montgomery was throwing down huge.. look for photos of the event in DECLINE soon.

Here is a shot of the riders-


and another VitalMTB vid I shot from the event-

Sea Otter 2010

I spent last weekend in Monterey, California shooting the Sea Otter Classic. The weather was perfect this year, no rain, not to dusty. It was probably the best conditions for otter that I have ever seen. I shot the Dual Slalom and downhill events. The courses at sea otter are short, and they never really change, so it is difficult to get fresh shots. I ended up shooting berms on both courses, the one I shot on the DH course was one I have been eyeing for the last couple years. I was shooting tight, and following the rider/blurring the background, which can be tough especially with flashes.. I was stoked on how the shots turned out though. Here is one of many, this is George Stephenson (Yeti/Fox) shredding the berm-



On Monday the post office session when off in Aptos, with Semenuk basically inventing tricks... I decided to shoot some video of the jam and it ended up being featured on VitalMTB.com
