Just an update from that last Sigma post a few days ago. Today I got the latest issue of Rangefinder Magazine, which is basically the magazine for portrait and wedding photography. I was flipping through the pages and… hey… there’s one of my photos in the latest ad. This one’s kinda cool because I can...

First ad out for the Sigma Our World campaign
Here’s something exciting — my first image is in print for the Sigma Our World advertising campaign I shot in late 2008. This was part of the 2009 corporate calendar, and it features a shot of pro climber Ethan Pringle on Anaconda, a heinous 5.13+ trad line on Lumpy Ridge that’s only seen a handful...

Dreamtime is participating in a worldwide ad campaign!
Today was a pretty cool day! FedEx pulled up with a bunch of boxes containing a huge assortment of lenses from Sigma Photo, one of the biggest camera and lens companies in the world. I recently signed a contract with Sigma to shoot an advertising campaign with the lenses that will run worldwide for three...
Radiopoppers review — a trial-by-fire field test
Radiopoppers. I now have five of them, and they are awesome. What follows is a field-test user review from Brandy and Tony’s awesome Bahamas wedding. A slideshow of their day will come later this week!
To sum it up, I think Radiopoppers are the best thing to happen to flash photography since the invention of the...
Vegas, Baby!
In March I hit up Vegas for the 2008 WPPI wedding photographer convention, which made Sin City even weirder than it was before all us 12,000 photo geeks showed up. (12,000! That’s not a typo!). I cruised out there with John Heisel, enduring lots of stormy weather and perhaps the mankiest hotel room on earth...
The Mouth
Back in Cali kickin it with the crew. Miss it here. Good times, great friends. Toots got his first chance to visit one of our favorite places on earth, the stunning mountaintop boulder field at Lizard’s Mouth, home to the best moderate sandstone bouldering anywhere. And actually thanks to our buddy Bernd, a bunch of...
Canon G9 Review
I just got Canon’s new G9, and it rocks! Hooray! I don’t have much to compare this to since I don’t have any other point and shoots — this is my first one since 2001, when I got a 2 megapixel digital Elph — and this is 12 megapixels. But what I am used to...
Random headshots
It’s always cool to see what graphic designers do to your work once it’s in their hands. Here are two head shots I took recently, and then the resulting pages/ads designed by Andrea Russell at Optasia Graphics. I think she’s pretty good! I was psyched to be able to squeeze in a short corporate head...
New Coastal Woman Cover
So this is kinda neat — Coastal Woman’s new summer 2007 issue features a shot I took a few weeks ago on its cover. An honor! Check it out!
For the camera geeks in the house (hi Dad!) I lit the shot with two off-camera Canon 580 flashes. I didn’t need to break out the bigger...
