blues brothers - march ‘09
this was part of a shoot for the chicago blues brothers’ promotional material
it was the first live show i had ever done, luckily we were able to shoot throughout the whole show and after a long conversation with leigh heggarty (guitarist/blogger) about were everyone was going to be and when i was able to get some really unusual shots 

this one was about halfway though the show when the brothers (matt hewitt & michael hyde) came back onstage i had positioned myself behind the rear curtain and peered my head around for a few shots, hopefully without getting to much attention from the audience.

ian smith - january ‘09
this was shot during the last weekend of unguided season at silverton mountain. silverton is easily my favourite resort to ride, the vibe is good, people are friendly and the mountain is insane! (now you can even have a heli drop if you like)

the 4reelmedia guys were there to grab some video as well

colin spencer - molas pass - january 2007
this was one of my very first shoots in the backcountry, we scouted this drop from the road and flew off it a few times each. i don’t think anyone secured a clean landing. i was extremely happy with my photos at the time though
