Quick update
Shooting winter sports in Salt Lake went well. What can I say, the snow was about the worst ever – no pow, thin and skied out on the slopes and mush-crust in the backcountry, but I think we still got some great ice, skiing and backcountry material in! It was great working with some old friends! Check out Josh Fowler’s blog for some fun pics.
On a sad note, on our last day of the trip, my friend Chris Hunnicut was killed while ice climbing in nearby Provo Canyon. I knew Chris from Arizona, and I knew he had moved to Salt Lake to work for Black Diamond Equipment – his dream job. In recent years I always ran into him at the BD booth at the Outdoor Retailer show, psyched as ever for some new adventure. We always made plans to hit the rock soon. Super nice guy and a great climber. Chris, here’s to the Dream. Be careful out there guys.
Headed to LA tomorrow for some more shooting for WileyX. We’ll be shooting in the Mojave Desert and Red Rocks. My friend Josh Fowler is joining me again to help out. I’ve gotta get as much out of j-fo as possible before he is pulled off to some big National Geographic project! We are putting up some sick problems in the gym too, climb them if you dare.
Coming up: a couple shoots for Climbing Magazine are in the works, looks like the South is going to get some good press.
Did a BMX shoot last week. The track was in heinous condition (what’s with the Conditions thing? Throw me a bone here.) but some great night-time action went down. Way down.
Nice shot! What the people at home don’t know about is the death-defying techniques used to capture such a breathtaking image.
And check the “Hot Flashes” section in Climbing Magazing for a write-up on those sick gym routes.
