It’s been a busy week; lots of new work hitting the ground and generating commentary. My favorite part of the job will always be going out and making images, especially since that’s a such small percentage of the actual time spent running the business. The truly awesome thing about photography is you actually have to be there; there’s no making this stuff up. You have to freeze while wading that river, pray that rickety old helicopter doesn’t crash, and watch your six for that shark that’s a little too curious. Photography doesn’t happen at a desk.
Mostly, though, it’s a lot of chasing emails and phone calls, long nights editing (1AM, 3AM, and 5AM alarm clocks last night to nurse a massive export along), and querying new projects. Maybe the time actually spent outside making images is so precious because it’s such an escape from the day-to-day of running a business. So it’s pretty damn fun to see it all come together on the page.
Here’s the latest, released this week:
• Orvis released the new fall lookbook. This is a piece we’ve been working on internally, and it has a feature from my spring Montana “road trip” photo shoot. Check it out here (the Montana work starts on page 26).
• An article I wrote last fall after witnessing anglers actively target spawning fish in the Adirondacks finally made it to print in American Angler. Sometimes things bother you enough you’ve just got to write about it. This piece is generating a lot of commentary, and for good reason. If you don’t know how to recognize a redd or when the spawning season is, take the time to educate yourself. Please. Otherwise you may find your boots crushing the next generation of fish.
• Got a look at a photo feature that ran in Canada’s Fly Fusion magazine this spring. Titled “Seasons of Familiar Water,” the piece features images from Montana to Vermont, covering some of my favorite places with some of my favorite folks.
• Gore-Tex Hunt & Fish gear just featured one of my recent underwater images from Alaska as their photo of the week on Instagram! This bruiser of a king salmon posed oh-so-nicely for the shot.
• The good gang over at Midcurrent was kind enough to feature me in their newsletter today.
More projects coming your way soon. Thanks to everyone who makes this work possible—without you it wouldn’t be happening. Shout out to my partners and sponsors, and to everyone who helps bring these images together!
