I am uber, super, ridiculously stoked to have landed the cover of the October issue of Skiing magazine. Huge props to Brant Moles for still getting it done after all these years. Brant crushes it in front of the lens. I’m also pleased to have two full page images published in a new magazine called Mountain Sports & Living. Super nice publication from a crew that knows their stuff. Look for it in a mountain town near you.

Fall Foliage of the Wasatch Workshop: Day 3

Monday, September 28th, 2009

Day three marked the end of my 2009 Fall Foliage workshop. We made the bumpy drive yet one more time over Guardsman Pass and to the Alpine Loop. Arriving with plenty of time to spare, we set up our tripods overlooking intense groupings of red and orange leaves. The maples and oaks were on fire with color! One of the most serene moments of the workshop was watching the dawn glow fade to grey, soon welcoming the rising sun. All was quiet, except for the clicking of shutters, and the subtle grunts of approval as five-star images appeared on everyone’s LCD displays. In addition to the exciting field sessions, we were also able to spend ample time in the classroom, discussing composition, exposure, use of Grad ND filters and numerous other topics pertinent to capturing memorable and meaningful imagery. Many thanks to Cliff Velinga, Todd Smith, Lewie Edwards, Kit Smith, Jon Sheppard and Guy Moore for a fantastic weekend of photography, and maybe just a little bit of fun too…

Fall Foliage of the Wasatch Workshop: Day 2

Saturday, September 26th, 2009

Day 2 of the ABP Fall Foliage workshop is officially in the bag, and I can say that I am completely and totally spent. In a good way. Despite clear and uninteresting skies, the color this year is absolutely off the charts. The back side of the Wasatch is as good as I’ve ever seen it, and the front side is shaping up nicely. We shot sunrise above Cascade Springs, looking towards Mt. Timpanogos and Cascade Peak. The students are all loving their newfound knowledge of how to implement Singh Ray Grad ND filters into their creative and technical workflow. Finally they are capturing the image in camera as their eyes see it! Delicious late light was in full supply at Willow Lake for tonight’s evening shoot. One more early rise tomorrow, and then the planning begins for next year’s workshop(s). Hope to see you there!

Fall Foliage of the Wasatch Workshop: Day 1

Friday, September 25th, 2009

The ABP Fall Foliage Workshop began today to beautiful weather and stunning Wasatch color. I’ve got a great group this year, and it appears the timing for the workshop is perfect as lifesaver colors are vibrant as ever across the Wasatch front and back. The workshop began this afternoon with some classroom discussion on basic photography fundamentals. Additionally, we had an in depth tutorial on using Grad ND filters in scenic photography. The day was capped off by an evening shoot at Cascade Springs. Clear skies made for more challenging shooting than usual, but the dusk glow was epic. Full day tomorrow! Gotta be ready to jet for our sunrise shoot at 5:20 am. Looking forward to updating you with the events of day 2!
