I awoke from my slumber fearing that my body would be unbearably sore. The previous day was physically grueling yet mentally stimulating. Laying flat on my back, I could hear my comrades moving around outside, conversing and laughing. I figured I would have to get up some time or another so why not now? I tightened my core and rose to a sitting pos...

With Introduction to Adventure complete and day three about to begin, I woke up to the delightful sensation off my body being more sore than it was after day one of training. I attributed the pain to my epic spill in The Sand Pit. To add insult on top of injury, I was nursing a slight hangover because I could not get enough of a delicious 2006 Cab...

This past Presidents Day weekend we took a lovely trip up to Ventura and parts of Santa Barbara for the day and I thought, what a perfect time to test out my new 18mm f2 R on my Fuji XPro1. I have read numerous reviews regarding this leans and thought why not pick it up. I have been looking to expand my Fuji kit for sometime, so that I could rely o...

It was 4:45pm on a Friday and I had just wrapped up some important client work for the public relations and marketing agency I worked for in Century City. I swapped my suit and tie for a brand new Revit Sand 2 suit and a pair of Forma Adventure boots before heading down to the garage to load up my bike. I had no idea what the next four days would b...

Motorcycling and fitness? Those two go together? Oh yeah, you know the saying “its not just the machine, it’s how you ride it”? Well this thought holds true in motorcycling. In fact, many of you that drive cars probably don’t know that throwing a sport bike around a track or running trails on a dirt bike is one of the most physically demanding purs...

It's been a bit over a year since I traded in my car for a motorcycle and in that time someone else very close to me that has begun to take an interest in the two wheeled awesomeness that is motorcycling. My lady. She has ridden on the back more times than I can count and I had a silent bet with myself that in time she would either be complacent in...

I'll be the first one to admit that in over one year's time, I have become completely addicted to motorcycles, the culture and the lifestyle. I rode as a kid and a teenager but not like now. I relish every opportunity I have to get out and ride my bike and lucky for me, riding is everyday thing. This weekend was a bit of an adventure as I participa...

No new bike can compare to the soul and character of these older custom bikes. I had the pleasure of walking past these bikes on my way to the Bonnier media booth each day, and each day I saw them, I would imagine myself on a track navigating an "s" curve or just cruising down Pacific Coast Highway on my way to Neptune's Net.

I wanted to take a moment to reflect upon my last year as an all-in, day in and day out, motorcycle rider. There came a time in July of 2012 when my old Jetta was on its deathbed. The transmission was losing its gears, it began with 5th gear calling it quits on a trip down to visit my lady in San Diego. Then some months later, 4th gear began to fee...

A couple weeks back I had the pleasure of going through the warehouse at Field Scout and picking out some styles, grabbing some models and taking to the streets for an impromptu photo shoot somewhere in Santa Monica. The day was invariably cut short but the half-day shoot yielded some fun results that captures the line. Based on utilitarian simplic...

I was doing a little cleaning around the house and found a roll of old Kodak Tri-X I had I had forgot to develop. I tried to think back to where and when I shot Tri-X last as most of my recent B+W film work has been with Ilford HP5. I came to discover some scribbles still on the canister and it from what I can deduce, It was a roll of film from alm...

Impromptu Shoot - A Girl and a Motorcycle

This shoot was not necessarily planned but was rather a concept in the back of my mind and came to fruition during a headshot session. It's nothing fancy really, just something I wanted to do so we did it. It was simple two light setup and no heavy editing.
My goal was to capture the solemn, self reflective mood one experiences before riding a mot...

The Fuji Finepix X100 - Long Term Review

This review of the X100 may be a bit dated seeing as though the X100s has hit the shelves but I want to write about this camera and how it has fundamentally and viscerally re-engaged my passion for photography. This write up will not dive heavy into technicalities but will include some "techie" jargon so you know what you'll get into if you decide...

One of my biggest passions in photography is of the journalistic variety and for this reason set photography is something I naturally gravitate toward. I love the energy and creativity you find on any set and I love being able to craft a narrative of the production process. What is even more enjoyable is seeing all the pieces come together in a fin...

Low and behold another month has passed and as promised here are some of my random shots taken through out the month. April was a slow one as the day job kept me REAL busy so by time I got home there was little desire to do anything but watch Game of Thrones, The West Wing, or something else. I did manage to take myself down to the venice boardwalk...
