What’s the nicest thing about looking at a gallery of photos?
The gallery doesn’t blast you in the face with screaming car salesman, eerily calm… quiet… soothing… pitches for penis enlargement drugs, or stuff insanely over produced fast food ads down your throat.
Photos are quiet, they’re conveniently muted.
Spring has finally begun to roll into Salt Lake.
After a long week of juggling my 9 to 5 job at Backcountry.com with work for the Say My Name film crew I’m exhausted.
Currently washing clothes, unpacking bags, repairing gear, cleaning my car, working towards getting my taxes done, and at some point sleeping hopefully.
Looking forward to summer.
Too busy for what? Shooting, that’s what.
Arrived at the Canyons at 9:30, left at 2:30. Shot one photo.
Why? 30+ in of snow in 24 hrs and probably 60-70 in a 48-72hr period. No way I’m going to ignore that. So, I shredded with Stan Evans and his buddy Adam from Redbull.
After a long season of looking at snow, talking about snow, posting about snow, watching other people enjoy snow, and generally not getting a chance to actually enjoy.. snow.. I took yesterday as the opportunity to clear my head.
Hell yes.
Quick, late night ride up to Alta.
Shot the below at 30s apiece and varying ISOs, no timer or bulb triggers so everything had to be done at min shutter speed (hence some noise).
Feels great to get out of the city and watch the cats do their thing.
No Home Depot, no Bed Bath and Beyond, just a little ride into Sugarhouse to get business done.
Pushing a 6in travel bike around city streets isn’t the most enjoyable thing in the world but it gets your legs jacked, oh snap.
Stan Evans and I went on a mid-day caffeine binge with our laptops to do a little people watching, bullshitting, and general business. Cruised some neighborhoods and ended up mowing down some wings before we pedaled back up to the ‘hood.
Not too shabby, a nice little Saturday.
A quick snapshot from my Canon SD780 IS during my drive home down Parley’s Canyon from Park City.
Last weekend I hit the road to Yellowstone with Heather. We played super-tourists and did plenty of driving and gawking at the standard fare of animals. Had a chance to test out the 7D and new lenses too.. not too shabby.
Feels great to get out of the city, be near water, and see something moving that isn’t spewing exhaust or flipping you off. What a concept eh?
If you make it to Yellowstone have a look at the Yellowstone Basin Inn. Run by a great couple with tons of local information and excellent hospitality. Look forward to heading back at some point in the future!
A Friday trip into the backcountry, organized late but none-the-less fun.
Winter appears to have finally found UT – a few candid / B-roll below.
Special thanks to Beth Lopez (Backcountry.com copywriter extraordinaire) for the three course tailgate meal and hot rum toddys after a long day.
Couple old urban shots from back on the East Coast.
Forrest Frizz, unafraid of wood rains or shady hand plants.
