The past year has been a wild ride, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. We produced more photography, in more locations and for a wider variety of clientele than ever before. From the depths of Zion canyons, to remote mountains of New Zealand and Alaska’s Arctic Coastline. It looks like 2015 is going to […]

Who doesn’t like a nice, warm puffy jacket? This time of year, we often get requests to recommend a good down jacket. And for years there is only one brand we turn to for the lightest, warmest down goodies on the market – MontBell. Since we shoot a majority of the Japanese brand’s catalog and advertising […]

We were fortunate to enjoy a stint of work in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California this fall. One of the projects we shot was a backpacking trek for MontBell. The Japanese apparel and equipment brand specializes in super lightweight gear and it’s always a treat to get out in the field with their latest […]

While shooting a day hike for Backpacker Magazine wouldn’t qualify as out of the ordinary for us, hiking the tourist trail to the top of the most popular peak outside Las Vegas definitely did. We were enjoying a […]

Q: What’s 6.5-inches tall, 2.5-inches in diameter, comes in an assortment of colors, and will keep you warm and hydrated? A: The 16-ounce Wide-Mouth Nalgene bottle of course. The crisp, cold nights of autumn are back and so is our love for these small bottles. We often use these ‘Mini Nalgenes’ instead of your standard thermo […]

When we were getting started, one of the first magazine projects we worked on outside of Alaska was a travel assignment documenting a tour of backwoods hot springs in British Columbia. It was late fall and it rained hard the entire week we were in the region. Other than the constant battle with water and […]

Earlier this summer we were invited to beautiful Steamboat Springs, Colorado for a commercial shoot with the apparel brand Smartwool. Over the course of a few days, we worked with their creative team to illustrate taking the gym outdoors to showcase next year’s spring lineup. It was satisfyingly like running our own boot camp with […]

The Platypus GravityWorks filter has been on every trek since we first got hooked up with the system on a shoot with Cascade Designs in 2011. It may not be the smallest or lightest water filter on the market (11.5 oz for the 4 Liter), but the ease of use, filtering time, and efficiency of […]

A couple years ago we were enjoying spring in Sedona, mainly to climb sandstone towers and ride the stellar single track. But we were also shooting a new line of multi sport hydration packs for Platypus Hydration. On ‘rest’ days from the bike and rock, we fit in a handful of day hikes to produce […]
