Earlier this summer we had the good fortune to produce some hiking and backpacking work in Utah’s canyon country. From the outskirts of Zion, to the soaring cliffs of Cedar Breaks and into the canyons of Bryce and Grand Staircase, we covered a lot of ground. We were thrilled that it looked like a couple […]

Enduring a week of four-percent beer? Well, if we have to. We wrapped up the summer with a commercial shoot for the Utah Office of […]

Wrapping up on the east coast, a day back in SLC to repack and then to Peru for two weeks. “Hey […]

We’re truly fortunate to live this life. Sure, it’s a lot of work to run your own production business. But when we look back at what we’ve accomplished last year and where we’ve been, it’s hard to hold a grudge against all those 16 hour days and endless stream of airports. It was tough to […]

The waterfalls weren’t there an hour ago. Earlier this morning we had awaken from our bivouac under the towering sandstone walls of The Maze, a remote labyrinth of deep canyons in Utah’s Canyonlands National Park.

This summer we were contracted to shoot a campaign for Gregory Mountain Products, a premier maker of American backpacks since the mid 1970’s. We would be producing work to showcase the launch of their new Miwok/Maya line, a complimentary pair of mens and women’s packs for biking, running and hiking. Needless to say this was […]
