My Photoshoot with the Yeah Yeah Yeahs

I photographed the band the Yeah Yeah Yeahs in New York City for an iTunes exclusive album cover and associated marketing material for the client Apple. The album is out this week on the iTunes front page.

Seether – “Careless Whisper” Music Video

My photo of Seether for their new single

As some of you may recall, I photographed Seether for their promo material, as well as the cover of their hit single “Careless Whisper,” which is a rock and roll retake of the George Michael hit 80’s song.  I just had a chance to check out their music video for the song, which released this past summer.

Their video is made to look like some of the best Nintendo and Atari games from my 80’s childhood. I love what they did! My favorite part is when Shaun, the lead singer, becomes Teen Wolf and car surfs on top of the A-Team van as Mr. T drives followed by the George Michael / California Raisins dance party.

Enjoy!

The Great American Geektrip (My American Roadtrip in a DeLorean & a Ghostbusters Truck) – Update 4

Got tied up with some deadlines, but finally had a chance to put together a little fun video from our road trip. Hope you like it! Will probably add more clips in a day or 2.

Chevy High Performance Magazine – Magazine Cover

I never thought I would come to a place in my career that I would be shooting so much that I would forget when I had magazine cover come out, but it has happened!

Came across this cover I shot of a sweet modified Chevy Nova for Chevy High Performance Magazine earlier this year and the cover came out Summer of 2009. What a nice surprise!

Another photo that came from that same editorial shoot

United States Navy Photoshoot – Update

I posted about this photoshoot at the Naval Base in Mississippi a few weeks ago as you may recall. Here is one of the final images after retouching. Thanks to my partner in creative crime, Justin Paguia, for his hard work.

Playing with my new iPhone 3Gs and Winston Churchill the Boxer

As some of you may have seen in my recent roadtrip photos, I had an…incident… with my iPhone 3G. I decided to bite the bullet and pay the money for the upgraded 3Gs. I have really been enjoying the upgraded camera and the video function. Enjoy the antics of my furry partner in crime, Winston, playing in my backyard as I test the video mode out.

The Great American Geektrip (My American Roadtrip in a DeLorean & a Ghostbusters Truck) – Update 3

The Ghostbusters Truck hood ornament has collected bugs after 3k miles

Just made it to Orlando after 6 days on the road. Whew are we beat, but the cars made it! We did have a few small mechanical issues along the way (flat tire, broken fanbelt, electrical fire), but nothing we couldn’t handle.

Got to see some great sights and landmarks, but the best part was the people we met along the way. Cannot wait to share the stories.

Here are some photos and highlights from the last few days. Look for the big post with more photos and videos next week!

Enjoy a time lapse Daniel took from his DeLorean using his Canon G9 as we drove through Moab, Utah.

One thing I may not miss, the truckstop food options

Found this at an Arkansas truckstop. For some reason I found the captions on the back of this box just creepy.
