On the coldest day of the year (so far), is it wrong to dream of warmer months past? I don't think so. So let's go underwater on a clear lake in Maine, in the month of August. Oh, and keep your head down ...
Next Stop Exeter
Sitting in the Good Karma Cafe, the snow is falling and the holiday lights are humming on the train station within sight. Can't think of a better reason to drag this fine shot out of retirement. Happy Holidays.
Once in a Blue Flame
In all the hustle of taking photographs for Blue Moon (a really sweet restaurant here in Exeter, NH), this one jumped out and wouldn't let go. Yes we got the deserts, drinks and people -- but had to double back for blue flame.
Ireland
A trip to the green with brothers' Kev and Ed ... and friends.
HBO State of Play Trailer (vid)
First glimpse of our work on HBO's State of Play, based on our friend and fellow rider Steve Shope.
Watch out ... NO BRAKES (vid)
The annual Gordon Barker "No Brakes Bike Race" is here. Shot totally on GoPro at last years' event. An race that celebrates a great local rider with proceeds going to the great Stratham Hill Park.
NFL ... not all bad
While struggling lately with the myriad of NFL issues that seem to surface on a weekly basis, I happened to land on some images parked on an old hard-drive. Having personally felt the effects of CTE (Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy) on my own family, I continue to struggle watching the guys on the Pats take one crushing head-shot after another. It's truly amazing how tough these guys are, but in the end we see how truly human they really are on all levels.
I witnessed this first-hand with Ed Reed during a shoot for Xterra years ago. I have to admit, as I sit here looking back, I was totally intimidated. I would love to have a do-over on this one -- slow things down -- get the shot I really wanted. But Ed was huge and I was not. It was only after a couple of bevs with Ed did I realize he was totally mellow and up for anything, but time slipped away as did Ed with his entourage. Thanks Ed.

Welcome Vid
In early March, a small group of kids from around the world woke up to a video welcoming them into a nice old school in New Hampshire.

Was School That Fun for Us? (photograph)
Working with Brookwood is always pretty fun -- the kids are always saying and doing hilarious things. Not really sure what was so funny here ... but couldn't pass it up.
BikeRay USA (photograph)
Bikeray USA needed some exposure -- they had some great products but needed an upgrade in the way they were presenting them. We got involved on the photo and branding side helping to provide a sleeve of new images to grab attention of those sprinting through their google searches.
Trail to Recovery (video)
Steve Shope is a husband, a father, a legend and a friend. He's also a legendary mountain bike rider around the seacoast of NH -- so when he crashed hard -- we crashed with him. He needed help and the community wanted to respond. We responded by creating a video for the night of the Gala event and helped reach a goal of raising 250k. This video was viewed by over 300 people that night and has lead to a collaboration with HBO films on a documentary that Steve will be a part of in 2014 (http://www.trailtorecovery.com)
