We just wrapped up Japanuary and yes, it was everything a skier dreams about. Day after day of skiing blower pow, so deep that it’s more light falling through whiteness. Waking each morning to find the mountains completely refreshed by the constant storms blowing in from Siberia. Experiencing a level of hospitality that makes you […]

Last Summer we were hired by the Alaska Railroad Corporation to produce a two-day travel shoot to highlight their whistle stop service in the Chugach National Forest. The brief was to feature a local Alaskan family out for a weekend getaway at the popular Spencer Glacier, camping out, going for a day hike and biking […]

Agnes is a lover of animals. Mostly the furry four-legged kind, but there is a picture of her kissing an enormous slug in our files. If they are deemed ‘cute’, she has to hold them or scratch their ears. The yak along our treks in the Himalaya didn’t respond so well to this. And she […]

We launched our business six years ago with a jammed packed summer in Alaska followed by a year-long road trip around the American West. The plan was to be shooting projects around Canada’s Yukon Territory and British Columbia beginning September. But continued assignment work in AK delayed us a month and we found ourselves driving […]

Does anyone else do this? We have a huge four-drawer file cabinet in a back room that is chock full of maps, clippings and misc travel documents. Most of these files are hair brained ideas just waiting to happen. This is where we curate ideas for future projects. From ripped out magazine articles to […]

We absolutely love doing work in the Hawaiian Islands. Who doesn’t right? One of our first big commercial jobs was shot in the islands and we return every year for a bit of work followed by a bit of kicking’ it. Besides the obvious perks of reliable weather, fabulous light and living in board shorts […]

There is a stiff 1,000 meter ascent to reach the Sherpa capital of Namche Bazaar, gateway to Nepal’s world-famous Khumbu Himal. We planned our arrival on a Friday afternoon when the village prepares for its well-known Saturday market. Groups of porters pass us on the steep trail, smoking cigarettes while talking on their cell phones. […]

In between our Himalaya backpacking projects, we took time to explore a bit of Nepal. We’d heard about a small village perched high on a ridge called Bandipur, in between Kathmandu and Pokhara. A short 10-K ride on the outside of a jeep carried us a thousand meters above the valley to this small Newari […]

Thamel is the chaotic heart of Kathmandu. With hundreds of tiny streets and alleys, this tourist district can be pure madness. The smallest of cars scrape by each other, horns blaring, while sharing the choked street with cows, holy men and a sea of humanity. And through it all squeaks the signature rubber ducky sound […]
