In December 2007 I was given my first name badge at a event. The badge was my credential for entry and to work as a camera operator. Now, over three years later, my bundle of badges has grown. From being a tour member of the Nation of GO team, X-Games media credentials, three years of...

Quick Snaps – My DC Shoes
About a year and a half ago, I became fascinated with high tops. Ditched the low top-low cut shoes I had been wearing for years in favor of a different flavor – high tops. There are many brands that make high top sneakers, but only one that I’ve found and like enough to buy pair...
Random Snap – Project Westy
So much rust. So little time. Prepping the Keep Drifting Fun 1974 VW Westy van for the production/road trip.
Quick Snap – Project Westy
Recently picked up this 1974 Volskwagen Westy for my upcoming project Keep Drifting Fun With some fresh tires, a bit of rust removal, a new coat of paint, and some tuning – it will be the ultimate road trip machine. When I was considering a vehichle nothing was as iconic and efficient as a Volkswagen...
Quick Snaps – 7D video stills
Over the past two months, I’ve been working on several projects with the Canon 7D. These projects include Linhbergh and I’s daily photo blog/365 photo challenge ARTPANTS & client work like the upcoming Dubai 24H short film for Speedhunters. The Canon 7D is far from a video camera. Its a digital still camera with an...

Quick Snaps – Washed Up
Down the bike path from me is Playa Del Rey. Playa Del Rey is situated on the beach just north of LAX. Its a chill and relaxed little town. Dive bars and coffee shops. Plus a washed up sail boat that is now fenced off with snow fence – like a monument or tombstone to...
Quick Snaps – NY2LA Preview
2009. This year, I’ve driven across the United States three times. Most recently from Buffalo, New York back to Los Angeles, California. The trip that landed me in Buffalo and back on the east coast was the BFGoorich Nation of GO tour. In June, I piloted an equipment van from Atlanta to Los Angeles for...
Quick Snaps – JOB Harrisburg, PA
In college, someone showed me Breakin’ 2 – Electric Boogaloo. The scene that really had the greatest impact was the rotating room dance sequence. Where Turbo and Ozone pop and lock all over the walls and ceiling of a rotating room. Another influence was getting really hyped up listening to Lionel Richie’s Dancing On the...
Random Snaps – Hoosier JOB
Was able to “bounce” back from my minor finger injury and Jump On Beds again. This time, coming to you from the Hooiser state, Indiana. Pushing the shutter speed as high as my ISO would allow – I was able to get less blur and a faster shutter – which gives the illusion that I...
Quick Snaps – JOB Bible Belt
I woke up in a van. Third row bench seat. A stack of tour t-shirts as a pillow. The humid Arkansas air was stale when the van door opened. In a daze, I gathered my batteries, camera bag, laptop, and my trusty suitcase. Looking down at my legs, I was impressed that they were carrying...
Quick Snaps – JOB Phoenix, Arizona
The Nation of GO tour rolled into Chandler, Arizona last night around midnight. We crashed at the Holiday Inn. The next morning, I fired off a few exposures. Still hooked on the Canon 14mm 2.8 L lens. It has such a gigantic field of view and the focus is simple over 3 feet away –...
Quick Snaps – JOB Indio, California
Double beds make for bed transfers. The mattresses at the Holiday Inn Express in Indio, California also had some awesome spring to them. Most of my favorite shots from this morning’s bed jumping session were taken with the 14mm 2.8 L – it has a gigantic field of view and the focus is simple at...
Quick Snaps – Orange EVO 9
On the Nation of GO tour, I’ve been shooting an average of 200 or more photos a day. This is pushing me to try new things and think like a photographer instead of a videographer. Being able to drop my shutter speed into the sub 1/60 range and working on single frame composition. This car...
Quick Snaps – JOB Orange County
Tonight, I found out that there is a Jumping On Hotel Beds website. Odd, I guess there are other travelers who share my passion for decimating hotel beds and trying to kick the ceiling. I’ve cracked a few box springs in my travels and left a few mattresses messed up – but thats why I...
Quick Snaps – JOB
JOB is an acronym, an initialism for Jumping On Beds. More cities to visit on the Nation of GO tour – more hotel beds to jump on. The shot above was taken with a 10 second self timer on a Canon 5D Mark II with a 14mm lens @ 2.8 This pair of snaps was...
Quick Snaps – 5D Mark II 135mm 2.0
Self portraits with a Canon 5D Mark II and a 135mm 2.0 L – first time really messing around with the setup.
Quick Snaps – Sun Spectacle
The water is the warmest it gets all year. As the summer sun fades into California’s other season…non-summer… moon lit swims or mid day surf is the secret to happiness. There is a plaque on my neighbor’s door that reads “If your lucky enough to live at the beach…your lucky enough”
Quick Snaps – GRAPEHUNTERS
For Formula Drift Sonoma – Linhbergh, Jeese Lee, and I are in wine country and hunting some early AM grape/sunrise shots. Here is quick snap from this morning.
