Wind Project teaser vid.

Andrew Nixon is a good friend and talented multi-media producer. He is helping me with a promo video about the Wind Project.  He has made a small teaser video you can check out right here.  

Stay tuned for the new video and more photos released soon.  

More PhotoBooth Madness

A friend called me recently and told me his ex-girlfriend was hiring him to shoot her wedding. It sounded like it could go very badly or extremely bad.  She wanted me to do a photobooth at the venue and really treat it more like a studio shoot instead of those cramped little boxes. After meeting with the bride-to-be I thought the whole affair was going to be a blast, she was really laid back and ready to have fun. 

Kieth Slagerman is the friend I mentioned, he does great photography in a number of genres. He took these shots of me as I worked with the guests to get the most ridiculous pictures I possibly could.  

2010-11 season begins!

Here's wishing everyone a safe and fun season up in the Sierra resorts and beyond.  I will be up as much as I can to bring back shots of freinds and strangers. If you have an extra ticket to your favorite mountain, why not bring this guy.  I promise to snap shots like this one of my buddy Danny doing turns out of bounds at Heavenly. 

WIND PROJECT continues!

We are having a lot of fun with this project and have been getting a great response.  

I appreciate everyone who is making this project possible.  Andrew Nixon rules for making a sweet promotional video .  And all the models rule for being so trusting.

Here are a few more:

WIND PROJECT begins!

Fellow photographer Andrew Nixon and I are teaming up on what should be a super fun project.  He is creating a sweet video promo for the whole project.  There are a lot of serious topics to cover in the world of photography and I don't remember ever tackling such a fun concept.  My aim is to make really engaging dynamic portraits and laugh a lot.  

Check out the quick video:

Folsom Fam Jam

Went out to Folsom Bike Park last Friday with freelance writer Josh Staab.  The 2010 Folsom Fam Jam was packed with pro and some riders as young as fifteen. The event included a competition for big air and best trick.  

Ryan Shine of Folsom took home $300 for the big air competition clearing 21 feet.  Another rider, Ryan Wood took the honorary best trick prize, but paid a painful price for it.  Read the full article over at Wrecknation.

Wedding at the Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe, NV

I recently photographed a beautiful wedding at the Hyatt Regency in Lake Tahoe.  It was a casual event with a short ceremony and casual dinner and drinks on the lawn overlooking the gorgeous lake.  While the four piece string group played softly, we were causing quite a stir with the most successful photo booth yet.  For some reason the photo booth is hit or miss, either guests really embrace it or they don't participate at all.  For two solid hours we had a line going and everyone was having a blast.

I feel like the booth is a great way to get everyone participating, and sometimes it is difficult to get meaningful pictures of all the guests.  This way everyone can come over in their own time and not worry about getting their picture taken while they are stuffing their face.  

The whole idea behind the booth is to get fun, engaging shots of wedding guests in a semi controlled situation.  This way, when a spontaneous moment happens, it can be captured and remembered as such.

Another cool thing about doing this set up is people really get to become creative, they can express who they are in front of the camera. 

Some get wacky, others just stare straight ahead.  When someone gets up to bat and they are stiff, or unimaginative, I provide a bit of creative inspiration. 

These guys were awesome, I love when they come back for more rounds!

 The most important thing is to show a different side of the many guests.  I try to make everyone comfortable enough to let loose.
