Helicopter Round II

Back from Idaho with another helicopter ride under the belt- along with some of the best cook'n ever served in a wheat field.

Texas Shoot Out

More combines spotted along the Texas Oklahoma boarder aka Texoma. This time we did a little shoot'n from the skies. Special thanks to Lora for all the sweet BTS photography! (Most of the images in the gallery are thanks to Lora's good eye)
Heading to Idaho tomorrow to find combines harvesting wheat.

Unplugged

Mike and I just returned from an island off the coast of Puerto Rico called Vieques. We stayed in an incredibly unique property, Hix Island House that allowed us to be totally "unplugged" for a week. Having no TV, internet or phone in the place was amazingly serene with only the sound of the horses down the road and the tree frogs at night. Almost the entire structure was made of cement with a few modern amenities such as a refrigerator, gas stove and most importantly, running water. The shower was outside and as you can see from the pictures our loft was entirely open to the elements of nature including numerous kinds of geckos that inhabited the place with us and a stellar view.
Enjoy the pictures.

Chimp'n

Stephanie caught me chimp'n (looking at the digital back) on a shoot in North Dakota earlier this week.

DC in Black & White

I spent a few days early this week in Washington, DC. The images below are from the Hirshhorn and Natural History Museums.

....and if you're heading that way I recommend you stay at the Hotel Helix- it's a great boutique hotel.

HOT DAY= COOL PHOTOS

It was hot outside and the crew was heat'n it up inside too.
Check out the behind the scenes of:
•building sets
•finding people fishing in a boat
•finding a lake for the boat people to fish in (these people and their boat will later be dropped into a sink- inside a kitchen-thanks to the magic of Kate Heller)
•sweaty people taking pictures
the list goes on...

GO TEAM!

Fresh Work

Our new portfolios are ready to hit the road and so are we. Email or call the studio and we'll get them over to you.

Krazy Clouds

I was just finishing up a shoot when Geoff called and said, "Do you have a camera on you?" Before I could answer he said, "You need to get some shots of these clouds!!"
When I saw the clouds, my first thought was tornado- it always is when I see an ominous looking sky. Geoff later informed me that the could that rolled through Omaha yesterday, a little after 7pm, was a shelf cloud. I couldn't get ahead of the cloud because it was moving so fast, but I managed to get a couple shots from the zoo parking lot.
