You're never too old

I saw this photo on my friend Irene's FB page and i had to steal it. Im not sure if this is her grandma or not but either way this lady is awesome.

Bobby officially is a pro skateboarder now. Congrads buddy

I forgot about this one.

I realize its a little late but, after Xmas dinner I really wanted to skate so Justin and I climbed the skatepark fence and got busy.

It's expensive to be a cowboy

Utah Lake

Here are some shots from the Utah Lake film session the other day. Jeremy is freakin nuts.I wish this photo showed how fast he was going. Or the giant snake that i almost stepped on while shooting it. Or me freaking out when Brad threw a stick at my leg and I thought it was the giant snake i saw.

We came up with some interesting camera mounts for this trip. If Jeremy leaned right it wouldnt have been very good for the camera.
Im pretty sure i shot this photo while driving, through the windshield. If you look closely you can see the beautiful town of Provo in the distance;)

Team Shootout

Heres a screen grab of the project I just finished for the Transworld Team Shootout. I think this After Effects file had around 450 layers when all was said and done.

Sneak Peak

Brad and I have been shooting some Jeremy stuff lately.......heres a little peak at whats he's been up too..

America's Top Models

The other day, on the way back from shooting some thing near Utah lake, Brad and i drove past these kids towing each other in wagon.....We immediately looked at one another and decided to turn around. I had my camera so i asked the kids if they minded if i took a couple photos. For some reason they reminded me of a Norman Rockwell scene. The kids got the shot 2nd or 3rd try. Brad then gave them a dollar each and instructed them never to talk to strangers..This is by far one of my favorite photos I've ever taken.
I hate not having shoes on.
The kids said with Brads money they were gonna run to the store and grab a couple cold beers for their next wagon trip.

A Homeless Man and his Pants

The other night I stopped to take a photo of these random jeans sitting on the stoop of this building. Once i got all my flashes, strobes, and large format camera in place (G10) i noticed there was a guy sitting in the left door....It kind of scared me. I usually never take photos of homeless people but i felt like since i was already planning on it before he was there i was allowed. No dentention. (doubleclick for large size)

The oldest person there

A couple of us went to check out the Krew demo the other day and I for sure was the oldest person there....or maybe Greco...anyway it was a good time. Reminded me of the old Intensity Demos except way less fun.Greco tried riding off the bus into the bank


But then settled for a mellow bomb drop.....nice kit Grec'sThis kid Logan from SLC is so damn good. He did BSTS like nothing..
And then there is Lizard. Bs180 1fter....Lizard skated so damn good for the hometown crowdGreco realized it too

p.s. I think Moriah was actually i oldest person there....thank goodness

Fleetwood Mac

The other day Jim asked if i wanted to go with a crew to see Fleetwood Mac. I guess Tara Dakides knows the band manager and she got a bunch of free tickets. I didnt know that much about Fleetwood other than the hits.The tickets were 2nd row.
Adam added his ticket to the flare he was currently wearing
Jim got lost and couldnt find us. He ended up across the stadium. He started crying and didnt stop until someone held his hand
Lindsey Buckingham knows how to play a guitar. He doesnt use a pick. Everything is finger picked. Its insane. Stevie Nicks is old.
After the show we went to a local drinking establishment. Jim shook his afro while we took the photo.

Smoking is bad

But comes out cool in photos sometimes. On the way to Fleetwood the other night I captured Erin yelling at Heikki for smoking. (I dont know if this is really what happened but its a good caption for this shot)

Quick trip to the lake

I met Brad and family at the lake (tahoe) the other week and i got quick photo. The water was freezing.

A slice of heaven

dRunke

Runke told me today that i dont update my blog enough and I should be hung for it. Its summer time and i look at a computer too much to take cool photos. I looked back in the archives and found this gem from the funnest day of summer. Mike Basher took this shot for snowboard mag. It didnt get run. The bad thing about this photo is the fact that you cant see Runkes giant beer gut or his $1200 bar tab.

Sean has a new haircut

Hutson Hawk

This is my friend. His name is Pete, or better known as the Hawk. Pete is currently cruising around Panama is this sweet van he named the Goose or Pedro, i cant remember which. Just thought you should know.

Ahh, Spring

My friend Joe Carlino sent me this photo the other day. I guess recently he's been getting involved with fashion photography. I thought id help him out and hopefully someone will see this and he can get a jumpstart on his career.

Crooked Cops

Jeremy and crew like to skate early in the morn. I however, am on the DC skate programming schedule, where you only can skate in the evening at most spots. Anyway. He sent me a Polaroid of what ive been missing.

Northstar was amazing

We just finished the final shoot of the season in Northstar. I have to say, it was epic. So fun, so many new friends made and all around just a really good time. We had 4 days of nonstop rain to start things but in the end it worked out as good or better than we planned.On the rainy days, we found things to do.
Product videos were one of them
Jeremy even did one

Finally it got sunny and we had a meeting to discuss how the shoot was gonna go down. Everyone from the team was in attendence.
Even BlottoIts a great feeling to wrap up a shoot like this. So much planning turning into so much productivity. After day 4 of shooting everyone sat down and drank a beer. Brad told us the story of his day....which included the heli pilot telling them they were going down and gonna crash.

Another season in the books.

Justins new bike

Just bought Jeremy's 1995 Harley. Its soooo dope.

Chinese Downhill

The whole crew has been bored lately since the weather has been less than average. We decided to go up to Squaw and session the public park. After a good session we stopped on a cat track and everyone happened to stand in a perfect line. Seriously, this was not staged. Anyway. The guys decided to all put 5 bucks in to who could get down first. Charles Reid ended up winning, he took a left from the start.Charles Reid, Kim Rune Hansen, Sani Alibabic, Stefan Maurer, Marko Grilc, Kazu Kokubu, Chris Sormon

8's a crowd

Squawed

Squaw ended up building us a really good jump. The skiers hit it first. Mason practiced so when it was his turn he would kill it. Click this photo Sani took. Its amaaaazing.



Watching the skiers is harder than you think. Sani couldnt bear watching.
Blotto got creative on this angles. This is him acting like he was in Vietnam.

Such a fun crew. Blotto, Tim, Sani, Sorman, Mu, Grilo, Kim, Kazu, Reid.

An old friend on mine, Murray Wais was there shooting the ski dudes.
Sani gets arty.Then does a super good stalefishSquawChris Owen has been in town as well. He's rocking a super classy helmet these days. Im jealousThe other night we went to dinner with Brads family. Teito and Tim wanted a photo. I obliged. Teito was so stoked on the photo with Tim, he wanted to take one with Grilo.
