While videos are also a prominent feature in the tablet demo, I get the reassuring feeling that magazines like Sports Illustrated won’t let go of still photography anytime soon as they shift into new media. In fact, photography seems to be a major selling point for e-readers and publications alike. read more via Jared Cocken

“Asheville on Bikes cultivates the culture of commuting and urban cycling within our city through celebration and advocacy. We believe bicycling has a direct impact on the health of our community.” Each year hundreds of people gather in Asheville, North Carolina to celebrate and promote these values. To capture the experience, I produced a stop motion video. After tons of fun at the 2010 Bike Love celebration, I have put together over 7000 photos into an 8 minute clip. It is kind of long but I wanted to include everyone who participated. Here is everyone’s answer to what the hell I was doing in the back room of the party. I had a great time putting this together and appreciate everyone’s participation. It made for a very entertaining night.

It’s your creativity. It’s what sets you apart from every other photographer; it’s the distinguishing value that is added to any great image you create. Without it, you could be replaced by a machine. read more

Got out early this morning for an underwater pool shoot with Erik Ostergaard. Used an Ewa-Marine underwater housing and on-camera flash. Some SCUBA gear would be nice for this. I would drop to the bottom of the pool for as long as I could hold my breath and click away. Learned a lot. Can’t wait to do it again.

Recently met up with Jeremiah Bishop and Jeff Schalk. They came down south for a week long training camp. Today’s ride would be a 6 plus hour ride taking them up the well know Caesar’s Head climb. This is one of George Hincapie’s favorite climbs. Leaving Clemson, SC with temps. in the mid 40s things were looking pretty good. As they climbed in to the southern Appalachians near the North Carolina boarder, the backroads were lined with snow. Conditions continued to changed as they ascended South Carolina’s highest point. Sassafras Mountain was still holding on to winter. The temperature had dropped to the low 30s and snow, ice and tree branches from previous storms still cover the road to the top. After walking a couple of the icy sections they managed to make it to the top of Sassafras. read more

Regarding equipment costs, a good quality professional camera with a selection of good optical quality lenses and digital storage mediums and computer set up can run from $10,000-$30,000 costs dependent on the photographer. read more

Met these guys one day when I was roaming the streets of Asheville. As I was taking a left hand turn, I saw this guy flying through the air on a bicycle. I could not locate a ramp. I was thinking holy sh#&. I need to go check this out. Anthony and Aaron are from Black Mountain, NC and roll with huge talent. I recently invited them over for a portrait session. I hope to get out again with them soon and capture their talent in action.
