I recently started shooting for serious eats, here are photos from the first shoot. Many more to come

Making videos

I have been shooting more videos than stills lately and here is one of the better ones I have done for an electric motorcycle start-up here in SF. Hopefully there will be more of these as the bike is being tested in different environments. It is a very sexy bike!

I'd recommend watching this vid 1080p on youtube.

Rubicon

It has been a while since I updated this blog, I have been shooting mostly film and I have another blog dedicated to that. I finally dusted off the digital camera and went to the sierras for the weekend with my buddy Brian for the 59th Jeepers Jamboree. Here is some info on the route we took (stolen from the website). The Rubicon Trail is considered the "Granddaddy" of all four-wheel trails - a 10 on most scales! Annually, the winter storms carve out a different trail among the rocky sluices and granite slabs providing new challenges each year. Almost all four-wheeling is at 3-5 miles or less per hour. The route traverses the Devil's Post Pile made up of thousands of tons of boulders and passes Spider and Buck Island Lakes.

Rubicon Springs (altitude 6,060 ft.), the site of a late 19th Century mineral springs and hotel provides the setting for the encampment. Here you will be wined, dined and entertained in the finest High Sierra style.

We camped on a lake at the beginning of the trail Wed night and Yhursday we drove for almost nine hours avviving at Rubicon Springs, which is only an 8 hour drive.

The trip was a blast and I had great company too.

Back in the Bay

I am finally getting settled back in to San Francisco. I have a new apartment and I just started my final semester of school. Last weekend I met up with Sugar and Gold and Yip Deceiver for a couple tour dates and some photos. Both bands put on excellent shows! Do yrself a favor and go see them on this tour if you can.

INVISIBLE

My time is coming to an end here in Europe, and it has been a great year. I finished my project in Albania a few weeks ago about The struggles living in a Roma camp and this post is a preview of the book I made. I spend 3 weeks living with these people to try and better understand their way of life and place in society. It was a great experience, and I hope to go back and see these people again.

Albania

I am in Albania now working on my Diploma project for my school in Denmark. I originally came here to work on a project about gender issues in the country, which proved to be very difficult for many reasons. While working on that project I came upon a Roma camp on Lake Shkoder and after talking to the owner of the land for a few days he has allowed me to photograph here for the next few weeks. Albania has been great so far. I have spent my time divided between the countryside and the cities. The country is one of extremes. Poor and rich, beautiful and ugly, old and new. My trip here will be for a total of 5 weeks and when I am done I plan on making a book about my experiences living in the Roma camp. Here are few of my photos from the first 3 weeks here. This is one of my largest posts ever, primarily because many people have expressed that they know nothing about Albania.
