Winter Update

MN finally has snow again and I have been able to get out and shoot some snow this past week.  Some pretty sick stuff went down, both on and off boards.

Red Bull Crashed Ice

Well, Crashed Ice is over.  It was a very productive (but cold) couple of days of shooting.  One of the highlights was definitely seeing Cameron Naasz representing the US on the podium once again, especially on his home turf. 

Minneapolis is flooding

Today started out fairly slowly. I ran errands, reviewed some footage from this past weekend, etc.  On the way home, I was driving across the Hennepin bridge when all of a sudden traffic came to a halt.  In front of us was a large river running through the streets of downtown Minneapolis.  While deciding whether or not to cross, I grabbed my camera and started taking photos.  Then, as the water levels got higher I realized I had no other decision but to go across.   I couldn’t help feeling like I was playing “Oregon Trail” as I forged the river.  I then found the first parking spot I could and got out to take more photos.  I was able to talk to a few construction workers who explained firsthand that someone had broken a water main with a backhoe, which had fallen over and was now sunken into the ground.  I would have to say, it wasn’t how I expected my day to go, but it definitely added some excitement. 

1st shoot of 2013

Despite the early call time and the cold temps, the first shoot of 2013 went off without a hitch.  It was really fun working with some good friends, as well as catching up with others while in town.  Let’s keep it up gang. 

Episode 9 just dropped for Red Bull Winch Sessions.  I’m SOOO excited about this episode.  It turned out awesome and was super fun to be a part of.  Make sure you view in full screen HD, crank up your audio because a lot of hard work was put into all the sights and sounds of this piece.

The best seat in the house.

This past weekend I spent a better part of my time at First Avenue.  Probably one of my favorite venues to see a show and for obvious reasons, the main subject of a project I was working on.  While shooting Solid Gold perform their set Friday night, I was able to set down the video for a few songs and snap away a few photos.  Though many may argue as to where the “best” seat in the house may be, I like to think that back stage is definitely one of the more entertaining.  Especially with a camera in hand. 

It snowed today.

And that is pretty cool.
