On my travels to Joshua Tree last month, I perfectly timed a visit to CBU Photography to present to students in the Senior Cohort class. I'm so grateful for the experience to share my story and knowledge with up and coming photographers. My hope is that more photographers understand the value of creating personal work. Between my time here guest teaching, seeing students' amazing work, and wandering Joshua Tree I'm overwhelmed with inspiration, energy, and joy. California feels more and more a special place.

Huge thanks to all the students and Christopher Kern, CBU photography program lead for the opportunity and capturing all these fun photos! To think we met on an Art of Freelance portfolio review....which I sorta snuck into under the wire haha.

If you've never driven a Bronco, I highly recommend - it's really as fun as it looks! And through Boston during morning rush hour.... everyone gets out of your way when you're MAMMOTH!

Latest episode for MotorTrend is live! Head 2 Head with Johnny and Jethro at Lime Rock Park. If you look closely you can catch me on the edge of one of the shots walking along the track in my red hat.

On this holiday episode of Head 2 Head, Jonny Lieberman and Jethro Bovingdon wring out two honest to goodness super sedans, the BMW M5 Competition and the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S. These two big Germans sport over 1,200 horsepower between them and are tuned with racetracks and lap times in mind. To find...

This has been a big year for copyright, legal, contracts, and licensing. Kat from Mingo Gallery made a great point last night that I should share my experiences with other artists and photographers-- what seems big and scary to deal with gets easier each time because you learn as you go and we can all teach other. I've had a lot of terrific resources and help. Shoutout to ASMP New England Chapter and Nathan Hoerschelmann a small business and artist lawyer in Seattle.

Finding more examples of work for Motor Trend. These were in the email newsletters.

If you're interested in the process of shooting stills on set and understanding how TV episodes get done, here's been my experience with it. A bit of a novella....

The film crew is either on a single location or follows the hosts as they road trip. Each of the episodes I was on was a full day, outdoors, pretty well coordinated and scheduled out. There's a team of camera operators, sound engineers, director(s), a production assistant, a drone operator, and an amazing producer who makes sure we're on time, we get breaks, and always gets the best snacks. In one instance, the crew was super DIY and scrappy, playing multiple roles. Still photography is secondary to the takes so there's a lot of hanging back and waiting, coordinating with the director when I can grab photos between scenes. While waiting, I'm usually wandering around scouting or getting environment and detail shots. I approach it like an editorial shoot, mentally making a note when I'm composing that I leave room for the show logo. The creative team takes my final edit and selects images to use as tiles in the app, the website, email newsletter, and on social media.

What I'm most grateful for is that someone else is handling all the stuff that is usually an added burden for me or gives me anxiety, the stuff that I'm used to taking on myself in all my other work...like travel, booking accommodations, taking breaks, scheduling, food. Massive breath of air to just show up and make photographs. And of course HAVE FUN and spend time with some super talented creatives.

Some of work with the MotorTrend Group is live! I was still photographer for Junkyard Gold...this is the first of two episodes shot in May in the Carolinas. You can see my photos from the junkyards throughout the episode page and MotorTrend app. Great crew out there! Fun to see it all come together.

Roadkill has enlisted the help of classic car authority, Steve Magnante, to find even better cars for their show. So, while Steve pieces together the history, life, and death of automotive relics and rarities among junkyards across the nation, he is also looking for the perfect project cars for the....
