. Over the past few years I’ve been fortunate enough to work with some immensely talented athletes, art directors, and magazine editors from the ski and snowboard industry. Another season has come to a close and I’ve been meaning to showcase the spoils of our travels into something fun, creative, and hopefully progressive…. I felt [...]
All you artists out there should take a lesson from this: one of Banksy’s graffiti, stencil style paintings sold recently at a Sotheby’s auction for 102,000 British Pounds, or around $200,000 USD, a new high price for a piece of his art. Read the BBC article here. Why I’m bringing this up is to remind [...]
I recently came across a tasty little nugget from a photo editor for advertising creatives working with photographers. It might seem like a long wind of redundant information for some, but it’s key that we all ingest this. While our industry is under constant change, redevelopment, and uncertainty; usage rights and terms for the most [...]
Q: (via email) Jon- I’m basically in love with Profoto lighting. But I’m a kid with bad credit and photography is my life. Any suggestions on how I could get some Profoto lighting? A: Yep. Rent it. Seriously. This goes for almost all high end pro gear. And here’s the thought of the day: Most [...]
The current status of the economy has effected all sides of life. For the first time ever, it’s more cost effective to rent than to own a home.

Fabien Breuvart pulled off what I would call a great piece of performance art last week in Paris. He and a half dozen accomplices scrounged up several giant garbage bags full of anonymous vintage photos and–in a fit of anarchy–dumped these thousands of photos into a huge pile in front of the VIP entrance of [...]
In any discipline, it’s tough to be first. The first guy to make a battery powered car, the first first girl to wear combat boots with a babydoll dress, or the first guy to eat 50 hotdogs in 10 minutes. People may laugh at you. They might even point and laugh. In the world of [...]
We love making new friends! Mango Media is an internet marketing and website development agency formerly located in Boulder, Colorado has moved to downtown Denver. We are excited to support them and have provided artwork for their open house celebration at the end of the month. The images are from Jon’s long exposure beach collection. [...]
We were able to breathe some relief today. Everyone knows where we are in the economy right now. No reminder necessary right? In a time where we are seeing lay-offs, budget cuts and furlough plans, there are some who are standing strong and remembering that we have to work together to get out of this [...]
