Its been almost a week since the 84th running of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb and normalcy still escapes me. Waking for 4 days in a row, hours before dawn to ascend a 14 thousand foot mountain left quite an impression (as it did the year before). As the sun separated the horizon line...

Recent Work – A Love Letter for You
While in Philadelphia on Keep Drifting Fun, I went and explored West Philadelphia with Andy, Jacob Chills, and Linhbergh. I brought along my Canon 7D to do some ARTPANTS‘ing, but ended up shooting some video as well. When I downloaded the clips, I really liked their feel. Dark skies, off and on rain, really nice...
A Day with Will – London via Linhbergh
Linhbergh and I rode the express to Paddington station and then hopped on the Underground to explore downtown London. We had a few hours to kill before our flight to Atlanta for Formula Drift. Linhbergh is a solid photographer and being able to travel around the city and take photos with him is a blast.
As...
A Day with Will – Dubai Part Two
There is an indoor ski and snowboard hill inside the mall of the Emirates in Dubai. It’s incredibly cheezy. Fake snow in a gigantic refrigerator. I personally enjoy the snowmen and penguins – oh and the ski lift.
The Address Hotel in Dubai is a nice place to stay. Plus it looks like a gigantic future...
A Day with Will – Sundance 2010 Day Zero
Less than 24 hours from the first official day of the Sundance Film Festival and the snow is still coming down. This is my third year working at the festival. Which makes me feel more relaxed and comfortable with the event. Plus that I have more great Sundance friends than the previous years. The light...
Midwest Surfers – Bittersweet Trip
Chris Adams shot and cut together this quickie edit from our recent trip to Bittersweet Ski Resort in Otsego, Michigan. I eat it on a small method grab within the first minute, but redeem myself with a clean gap over an iced tree. Thanks Chris for cutting this together. All shot on a Go Pro...
2009 Year in Review
On the last day of the decade, December 31, 2009 – I’ve put together this highlight post of my 2009. The year has been great for me, I started my own production company, had several firsts (NASCAR race, Bonneville Speedweek, Pikes Peak, and FIA GT), and crisscrossed the United States on road trips no...
A Day with Will – Costa Rica 1
I’ll admit, most of the work I do allows me to travel. In the past couple of years, I’ve been able to visit some amazing places with jobs. When my schedule started to ease up towards the end of 2009 I decided to take a break, and… gasp, go on a vacation.
My friend Katie proved...
A Day with Will – Costa Rica Preview
A Day with Will is the post category that came out of ‘A Day in the Life of…” challenge. Which was a single day photo exchange between myself and KD almost a year ago. It has since evolved into being a day in my life. Any day that I pick and have my camera around...
A Day with Will – NY2LA
This story starts in Richmond, Virginia and ends back in Los Angeles, California. It takes place in the places in between. The states along highway 80 ranging from New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Wyoming, and Utah. Then on to highway 15 through Utah, Arizona, Nevada, and California.
The places in between. The places...
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...
A Day with Will – Breezin’ back to Cleveland
Easter bunny blue skies and chocolate brown waters. The wind whips the surface of Lake Erie into a swirling pool out of Willy Wonka’s factory. Normally, the peaceful waters are an opaque green. Then the northern winds fetch over the calm freshwater and over mile and miles – create wind waves. The period between these...
