This is where the US landed on the moon

Here are a few photos from my few hour experience through Death Valley, Ca. I was here for a short while then chased the light back to the highway and continued on to Mammoth Lakes, Ca.

Running Death Valley

Here are two images of Renee running through Death Valley, Ca during are 12 day couch surfing tour throughout Cali.

Across the Street Bonfire

Here is a photo of my roomate and Renee chillen in front of the bonfire across the street in my neighbors yard!

Homeless in San Francisco

After flying back to Cali it was time to go out and start seeing some things so I charged a road trip--couch tour that lasted 12 days with pit stops to all my homies places throughout the state. This image was from the first leg of the trip in San Francisco. Every time I come here I am always amazed by the amount of homeless people who call this city home. While pumping my gas I grabbed my camera and approach this man who had his whole life in his shopping cart. When I first saw his skateboard and his random 20" bmx wheels I knew I had to speak with him and ask for permission to photograph him. He was super soft spoken and it always rattles my brain on how so many people end up here in the same situation.

Editorial Update: Snowboarder Mag Photo Annual!!

This past season I spent a lot of time on the road with shooting. The harder you work the better overall results will be and that was the case here. Below is an Image of Tim Humphreys and Brandon Reis that made the cut for the Snowboarder Magazine Photo Annual. Big thanks to the athletes and Ryan Hughes for this opportunity, time and cooperation.

Back to Life in Tahoe

It is nice to be back in Tahoe for the season. This second storm of the year hasn't been slowing down at all. Here is a shot of South Lake Tahoe, Ca Check out what I found on TW Snow.com Twitter page.. TWSnow Sierra-at-Tahoe Resort in Tahoe, CA is reporting over 96 (!!) inches of snow in the past two days, with FEET more... http://fb.me/MGQ0cvFZ

June Mtn Team Shoot

Biggest Jump I have ever seen. June Mtn builds it big but mostly spectators not many stepped to it.

Sierra At Tahoe Team Shoot

I thank Doug and Brooke from Sierra At Tahoe for hooking us up with some good jumps and tons of support on our team shoot there!

Scotty Lago on Twitter

This portrait of Scotty was shot soon as we got back from the shooting for the day in Lake Tahoe. Scotty jumps on twitter and lets his audience know that Sierra @ Tahoe has a lot of fun to be had!

Team Shoot Part 1 of 2

After spending 3 days up in the yard it was time to meet up with everyone at Sierra at Tahoe Resort to start on this years Flow Snowboards Team Shoot. Here is Scotty and Jeremy going over some footy.

Just in Time

I arrived back in Tahoe just in time for the storm. Tahoe has been very warm leading up to this storm but I was still stoked that there was potential 30 minutes up the hill in my backyard. Tahoe is known for very green trees. There was a few days off in the schedule in between shoots and this was definitely worth the hiking and digging!

Sessions Catalog 2011

Here is my cover and filler images from the Sessions 2011 Dealer Catalog.

San Diego and the Tsunami Warning

So Cal is an awesome place to break up some time and enjoy some of the finer things in life like burritos, waves and good friends! I have to shout out a big thanks all of 1010 who went thru a recent divorce and relocation change. Encinitas is the new territory where my buddys now reside and where my couch got relocated to as well. To "Reg Bob" and his roommates from SurfRide thank you for the couch space, mini ramp and a cool environment! Eric and Wes you dudes are the shit, and Cole maybe schedule works out better next time!

4 days of cruising at home

After all the running around it is always nice to arrive back in Lake Tahoe. I love going back to my house and being able to soak in the fresh air and see the blue skies for a few days in between trips while trying to catch up on computer work and relax then this time my buddy Robbie and I took the 9 hr drive down to San Diego to meet up with all my homies and get our much needed time in the ocean!!

Mammoth Grand Prix "Olympic Qualifier"

Two weeks ago I headed down to Mammoth Lakes, Ca to check out the Olympic Qualifier. Below is shot of Shaun White doing the all too common double cork. It was fun times to go back to Mammoth Lakes and hang with a bunch of old friends as well as making some good party.

Aaron Coyle

Aaron Coyle
A part time resident at the 1010 Spot. One hell of a good surfer and one funny ass kid to kick it with. Always fun times with this cat named Coyle. Trying to shoot some friends to stay busy until I leave for my voyage cross country.

1010 goes to Mammoth

This was a photo I grabbed of a good friend "I Bobby" who came up to help out in Mammoth for a few days. Thanks for all the genius appointments. He is also the proud owner of a sick clothing company called CAIDA Garments.
Go to his site and buy a shirt that no one in your area has yet!!

In Mammoth for Superpark

Well it is that time of season when you want to and also need to light your soggy boots on fire and call it quits with the snow and time to start dabbling at the beach. After returning from a shoot where I was assisting with Cole Barash for some Nike Ads I am back in Mammoth Lakes where I will be posted up on the floor at the Florum House for some days to come. Left Colorado at 3am, fly at 6am to San Fran, then to Reno and do the necesarry 3,000 mile oil change on my drive to the next location. Get to Mammoth around 2pm and wallah on the Mtn by 3pm. Not having a lift ticket can't always slow you down so I through on my camera bag and hiked all the way up in time to shoot just before sunset. During Superpark it has now became a tradition for shredders from all over to go to mammoth and camp out in the desert at the hotsprings and commute to the mtn on the daily. This image is of Wyatt Caldwell who is the MAN when it comes to camping and is the one responsible for everyone having a good time.

1 Week in Mammoth with Flow Snowboards

1 Week in Mammoth Lakes, Ca shooting for Flow Snowboards and there international team. Not all the riders had the best of luck. This rider got hurt his first day off the plane from Japan. I tried to always pull him aside to get some lifestyles of him since action photos were out of the question. Here is one that I shot of him while his buddies packed the car to head back to the airport.

Travels Back Home

On the 31st I boarded up the plane in Munich, Germany at 2:30 in the afternoon, took it to my next stop chicago but of course the weather always sucks in Chicago so our pilot detoured us to Milluawkee for some gas because we circled chicago in the air for so long. 3 hours parked in a unexpected airport then got to chicago and for sure missed all the flights to San Francisco, grab my luggage and head to a hotel sleep for a few hrs then back to the airport bounced to San Fran wasn't allowed to get onto the earlier flight to Reno wait 6 hrs for a 2.5 hr drive. Land in Reno- Take a shuttle to a hotel near where I live in South Lake Tahoe and have a friend pick me up to finally get back to my house. The next morning was time to pack up my house into boxes and get a storage facility and then it was time to pack up and head to Mammoth for 2 days to do some shooting with friends and take a drive through the desert.
