Longleaf Pine for Garden & Gun Magazine
This fall I have had the pleasure of shooting three feature stories for Garden&Gun, which was just awarded a Minnie for “Top Editorial Team” and “Second Hottest Launch” of 2007. The first, written by Jack Hitt about the magical Long Leaf Pine forests of the South, is out on the newsstands. You can also see some of it here:
Workshop Announcement: Climbing Photography!
Finally we have put together a beginning climbing photography workshop with the Showcase School in Atlanta. The workshop will be held during on February 23, 2008 during the USAC/SCS Season Opener (a nationally-sanctioned climbing competition) at the Adrenaline Climbing Gym in Suwanee, GA, about 25min north of Atlanta. The class will go over ropework, rigging, and climbing basics, as well as the specifics of photographing while on a rope, and of shooting the sport of rock climbing. We will also be going over sports lighting techniques for climbing. Then you will get to photograph a real climbing competition.
The limit to this class is 6 people, so sign up now if you are interested!
