Traveling
On location in Bisbee…
On a recent weekend, I was on the road again for a shoot for Runner’s World Magazine, this time the location was in Bisbee in southern Arizona. I photographed the Bisbee 1000 race for the magazine. Here are a few personal shots from the trip. The feature for RW will publish next year so I won’t be able to show that work until publication.
Location scouting in Arizona and California
I am starting to plan some personal work to be shot over the next few months. I recently spent some time scouting locations in western Arizona and southern California.
I am always looking to find interesting locations that offer a unique perspective. While things are still in the planning stages, I am excited about the challenges this new work will bring and hope to have new work to show by the new year…
On assignment in Flagstaff for Runner’s World
Last week I photographed a feature for Runner’s World Magazine in Sedona and Flagstaff, Arizona on the Run S.M.A.R.T Project. The project is essentially a training camp for distance runners. The article won’t be published for awhile so I can’t show any of the final shots but I have worked up some personal and iphone photos that show the experience.

I spent two days during the week working on the project and in between had to go to Tucson shooting for a different magazine. It was great to get out of town to do some work and some of the locations up north were amazing. The photos will be featured as a preview for the 2010 camp and will be published next year.
IBM Book project with VSA Partners
In early May, I traveled to Tucson to photograph an environmental portrait at the Sabino Canyon Recreation Area for an IBM book project. The project was coordinated through VSA Partners in New York and Chicago and was published this month. Here is an out-take from the shoot.

Client Meetings in New York City
During the first week of April I was in New York meeting with existing clients and showing portfolios to potential clients. It was a busy week full of meetings and nice to finally meet some clients in person who I have worked with for years.
Cattle Drives feature for the Valley Guide
In late December I started working on a series of shoots around Arizona for the Valley Guide. We shot a cattle drive and several other old west outdoor activities at three locations around the state.

The locations included: Bumblebee Ranch north of Phoenix, Fort McDowell east of the valley and McDonald’s Ranch in North Scottsdale.

Phoenix Magazine “Points of View” Essay
In May 2006, I started working on an photo essay for Phoenix Magazine, called “Points of View.” The idea behind the project was to capture images of situations in and around the Phoenix metro area that a normal person doesn’t encounter on a daily basis. What I didn’t know at the time was that it by the time the project was completed it would be nearly 18 months from the date I started the project.
When the project was finished in the Fall of 2007, it included a number of unique ‘views’ such as: inside the operating room during heart surgery, behind bars at the county jail, onstage during a sold-out concert and a view from the roof of the stadium during a Major League Baseball game. The essay appears as a 12 page spread in the December 2007 edition of Phoenix Magazine. Check it out if you get the chance.

And my favorite image that didn’t quite make it into the essay, although I think it is one of the most unique points of view is the view from the roof of Chase Field during a Arizona Diamondbacks game…
