A little congrats to my roommate Pat for this video he shot and edited for Transworld. A little private mountain session last week. The last few lines are classic.
Check out a little preseason jib action at Mt High on October 7th with the bird man Cory Cronk and the Ashbury boys Lance and Mike Hakker. Word on the street is Mt High is opening in two weeks! Get those jib boards lined up homies, it’s time to saddle up.

prAna Shoot..Josies debut
Big thanks to all the crew and talent for the prAna still photo/video shoot. As I was going through my behind the scenes i noticed just how involved my dog Josie became in the shoot. She somehow found a way to sneak herself into just about every shot there was. Here are a few cute ones I thought I would share,

Next On the Book: Graham Brown/ Sony Shoot
Born in Japan and raised in America, I was brought up with the Eastern influences of my heritage. My family moved to California when I was a child, allowing me the opportunity to see the world from a different perspective.
After graduating from Brooks Institute of Photography I moved to Minneapolis where I fine-tuned my craft at various studios. In 1989 I opened the doors to Graham Brown Photography, Inc.
Since then I’ve been shooting for major food, product, and beauty brands, including Sony, Target, Hormel, Fetzer wines, Aveda, Haagen Dazs and Blue Bunny ice cream, Pillsbury, Cargill, Carnival Cruise Lines, and others. In addition to my commercial work, I travel extensively to develop my fine art.
After 20 fruitful, but cold winters I could not ignore my desire to return to the sunny west coast. We now live in San Francisco where I have opened up a second office.
I hope to work with you soon--on either "coast"!

Cutwater Explains the "Why" Behind the new LensCrafters Campaign
To keep a natural lifestyle feel to the ads, group creative director Joe Kayser, art director on the campaign, said real people were cast for the print, shot by Bill Zelman, and the spots, directed by Joaquin Baca-Asay of Park Pictures. “We wanted to film real people doing real things,” said Kayser, who used the hands of cast and crew, even his own, to create the heart framing. “[The idea] was show us what people love to see, let’s pretend we’re the eyes of 90 different people.”
How we captured 22,000 images
To find real-people subjects, producers Megan Power and Heather Smith called ......
To find real-people subjects, producers Megan Power and Heather Smith called friends and advertised on Craigslist. They wanted people in each ad to have real-life relationships. "If someone looked interesting, we'd ask if they had a wife or kids or friends who could come along," Zelman says. As Kayser says, "If we're going to show a couple making out, they should know each other." For each group, Zelman set up scenarios, then photographed their reactions: He got a magician to entertain the kids in his neighborhood; for some adults, he set up a wine party on a rooftop in San Francisco.
Lencrafters: A Hands Off Approach to Real People
Photo District News...PDN WriteUp on the LensCrafters Shoot
Photographer: Bil Zelman
The goal for the new LensCrafters ads, explains Joe Kayser, Group Creative Director at Cutwater, was to position the company as a provider of eye care, rather than just a retailer of eyeglasses. As Kayser explains it, his pitch to LensCrafters was, "You're going to talk to everybody, not just someone who's 48 and needs bifocals." The creatives at Cutwater envisioned photos of all of LensCrafters' potential customers, shot in a photojournalistic style. But to get the look, the images needed to be shot in a photojournalistic way – like a Life magazine photographer roaming the country on a long assignment. Once the team chose photographer Bil Zelman for his relaxed, slice of life people photography, Kayser convinced the clients that if they wanted the kind of authenticity they were looking for, then they could not go to the shoot, and he couldn’t be there, either.
