Headed to Aspen
January 25, 2010
This week I make the annual voyage to Aspen,Colorado to document Winter X Games Fourteen. Check back throughout the week on the blog and on http://www.espn.com/actionsports for regular updates. Today’s update on the front of the site is a shot of snowmobiler Levi Lavallee from last year prior to the first ever double backflip.
Best of 2009
January 5, 2010
As I sit here and type this I’m left to think about what my life and career have been like for the past year. Changes. Sounds very cliche but the word rings true after the closure of the Rocky Mountain News in late February. Certainly good and bad, but mostly good. Make that great in fact. I’ve been thankful that I can be allowed to keep doing what I love by communicating with my camera. Looking at some of the images I’m about to post I can’t help but see how my style and my storytelling has evolved over the past year. Rather than thinking about the impending tax season ahead I find myself quite excited this time of year to see where I’ll be taken with this career and how I can improve myself. Personal projects have been the core of what I am creating this year and I hope to extend that into the new year as I form more fruitful and meaningful relationships with my subjects. Thank you all so much for staying with me this year as I post a visual diary from my life. Cheers.

Last Light of 2009

Another year down, another opportunity to improve in the upcoming year. I’m planning the cliche 2009 recap sometime this week, but I thought in the meantime I’d share some images I shot on New Year’s eve prior to the sun going down. Enjoy for now. Keep checking back later this week for a sweet recap. Cheers.
