Ladies Lodi Sequentials in CA

On October 6th & 7th, some of the worlds best women freefliers converged in northern California at Lodi’s Parachute Center.  This was to be the first all Women’s Sequential event at Lodi which is known for their pushing the limits of freeflying and this event was no exception.

It was great to get back and cover another Sequentials event.  Everyone in the sport knows that if you want to see the limits being pushed in the realm of freeflying that Northern California is the place to go.  And this time it was being pushed at a Women’s Only event!

A great time was had by all and the jumps were impressive to say the least!  To check out all of the coverage of this event, please visit my full Event’s Gallery and enjoy.

Roughin it…

It’s rough sometimes….but living on the lake just isn’t that bad.  And after a long day attempting to sell software from home, it’s nice to walk across the street and enjoy natures gift…..

Human Flight…..

I might be a camera man, I might be a skydiver, I accepts certain risks every time I climb into a plane, but as amazing as this video is, I won’t ever shoot it.  Sure it’s got me on the edge of my seat and I only want more, but for me, it simply isn’t worth the risk.  But for those who are willing to capture this amazing footage, please, please, please…..keep it coming!

Studio Shoot: Drew

After seeing some of the shots I got with Amy a few weeks back, Drew was looking for something similar and decided to swing by and check out the studio.  We changed a few outfits and got a few shots that I think made him happy.  It’s funny how small of a world it really is, turns out he is a skydiver as well.  Gotta love it!  Looking forward to more work in the studio!  I should have some prices for studio session available next week.  Stay posted.  In the mean time please take a look at these pictures, leave feedback and let me know what you think.

Girl on girl…..

Meet Hoku and her little sister Sasha.  Hoku is just over a year old and Sasha is about 10 weeks old.  They are Blue Heeler puppies!  Why, what did you think you were going to be looking at?  Hmmm…..

Brad and Jenny brought over their puppy along with the new addition to the family!  They ran around the studio while I attempted to capture them at their best.  I’m looking forward to shooting more dogs, so if you have a puppy and would like some shots, get in touch!  Hope you enjoy!

Meine Sonja….

My long time friend Sonja from Germany completed her doctorate degree at a University there and decided to do an Around the World trip.  Some how I manage to convince her that Denver had to one of the many stops in her 2 month journey.  While she was here we talked about how the summation of her work was a book to be published about the late artist named Jeremy Blake.  She was on the hunt for a publisher and I asked her if she had any good head shots for the back sleeve of the book as every good author does.  Off to the studio we went and here are the results.  I hope to see one of these shots on a book one day soon!

Video edit….

My buddy Atif asked me if I had any recent videos that I wouldn’t mind sharing so he could edit something and enter it into a video contest down in Texas.  I gave him a few weekends at Carolina Fest as well as the AZ Challenge over Memorial Day.  Here is what he came up with……Nice one Atif!!!!

CO Labor Day Road Trip…

I’ve been living in Colorado since December and I really haven’t seen much of the state.  So over Labor Day I took an extra day off and headed out with Laura to explore the Southwestern corner of Colorado.  Telluride, Mesa Verde, Pagosa Springs, The Great Sand Dunes, The Royal Gorge Bridge and The Garden of the Gods.  It was a full weekend to be sure.

After being able to run around this state a bit I can tell you for certain that Colorado is indeed a great place to be!  If you’d like to check out the entire gallery and more pictures from each of these places check them out here.  Can’t wait to see what the rest of this place has to offer 😉

Nationals 2010

With a quick trip to Nationals behind me, I did managed to get a few jumps in with a couple of the freefly teams there.  One of the teams was So Cal Converge, the current National and World Champs.

Take a peak at the full gallery here.  My team on the other hand CO-TX didn’t fair so well.  One of our team members had an off landing that resulted in a last second effort to avoid hidden power lines and he ended up in a tree and slightly injured.  He’s walking, just a little beat up.  Unfortunately we weren’t able to finish but 3 rounds thus forfeiting the chance to knock So Cal Converge from their first place seat.  Oh well, next time…..but in the mean time, heal fast man!

It’s Harvet time…

When I moved to Denver I was fortunate enough to find a nice home on a Lake with a great view.  I was also fortunate enough to have a huge Peach Tree in my back yard.  Well people, if you live near Denver, it’s time to come over and help me harvest!  If you like peaches and want a bunch of free ones, give me a call and stop on by, there is enough for everyone to go around.  Take a peak for yourself….

There are obviously more peaches than I know what to do with.  So seriously, bring a bag and come on by!

They are starting to fall off the tree all on their own, so I’d say it’s time to start picking!  Help yourself and if you’re wondering what they look like on the inside.  Well here’s a peak:

Enjoy!
