Halfway there has never been an option for me. In fact, finishing something to completion and exploring every possible angle is the only concept I know.

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 […]

One segment was shot in the Selkirk Mountains of Northern Idaho, another in a Washington pine forest and lastly a backcountry skiing set-up in Southcentral Alaska. The prototypes arrived in July and […]

Lowepro has sent us a few packs to test drive this winter. Since most of work over the past few months has involved skiing or climbing, we’ve been spending more time with those bags that are better suited to these sports. The Flipside Sport was originally slated for our month-long ski trip to Japan at […]

Lowepro got in touch with us this fall and asked if we’d like to try out a few of their camera packs. No strings attached. The only thing they requested is that we hold off on any postings until after their official launch date. We agreed and a box of photo packs awaited us when […]
