2010-12-07T18:59:00.005-05:00

Just returned home to Boston after one of the best vacations ever... Art Basel in Miami. We ended up driving down non stop and surprisingly enough, the 27 hour drive flew by. Here are a few shots from the rolls I got back today. Along with a few of the Christmas tree farm in Boxboro MA, where our tree came from this year.

forest bound - early spring collection shoot

2010-04-11T16:13:00.008-04:00

Alice of Forest Bound and myself drove out to "Pigeon Mansion" to visit our friends Paul and Francesca (the lovely model in these photos). While there I photographed her new line of gorgeous bags. Alice is a very original and talented lady. This line of bags is constructed of olde farm grain sacks from the 1940's.
Check out her website to purchase these bags and see a few other photographs from the shoot.

Thanksgiving

2009-11-29T13:34:00.005-05:00

Went home to New Hampshire for Thanksgiving with the family.

My buddy Zach Sky came home from NYC for the holiday so I headed over there later that night.

Zach's mom played a few songs on the acoustic guitar for us, she has an amazing voice! So are Zach's frosted tips in this photo.

Chad made a new friend while in Boston. Chad is a very talented photographer, check out his work here.

Ryan also came along and left his mark on Boston. Another great photographer, take a look at his site here.

This wasn't from Thanksgiving, but it pretty much sums up how I felt that night.

Baltimore Weekend

2009-11-11T14:17:00.004-05:00

I have been to Baltimore a handful of times now and every time I try to give it another chance. However, this is how I usually end up feeling about the city.

Here is one reason why this place doesn't suck. Hanging out with Albie made the trip worth it.

Towson had a bunch of decent stuff to ride but Burns ended up pretty much murdering himself...

Skin on the sidewalk.

A few snaps from the shop. Salty Dave (redemption tattoo)

2009-10-12T13:44:00.004-04:00

Vegas was pretty amazing! Interbike was interesting and even better we got to ride a few pools in the middle of the desert. Here are a few random shots. One is of some Australian's who are now back home and the other of Crawdaddy. The new issue of DIGBMX just went to print the other day so be on the lookout for that.

Met up with the Magic Magic boys to shoot some photos a bit back for NorthEast Performer Mag and they made it on the cover! Psyched. These are a few single portraits we shot while sweating in the practice space.

Took the "Fung Wah" back to Boston from NYC last night, trip was pretty decent. Thanks to Max, Zach and everyone else for the wicked apartment to crash in.

What most of our days consisted of.

The Aussies had never been to NYC before so we did some tourist stuff, Times Square.

Click this photo of Jamie and check out the dude in the car, pretty hilarious.

Credence Gypsy Tour Photos on DIGBMXMAG

2009-06-21T18:39:00.002-04:00

Just got home late last night from one hell of a trip! Clint had the veggie mobile running smooth the entire time. The trip consisted mostly of rain, slingshots and paint balls, rain, cement park, rain, a little bit of trails, rain, sleeping outside, rain, and just overall greatness.We stayed mostly in Yeagle's stomping grounds of Pittsburgh, but made our way around the east coast. The article is going to be in DIG issue 72, for now check out some snapshots from the trip here. http://digbmx.com/digthis/credence-gypsy-caravan-tour/

Back In Boston

2009-05-08T22:14:00.003-04:00

Ended up driving all day yesterday to get back to the city and was pleasantly woken up by jack hammers outside my window at eight this morning.

KINK ARIZONA DISPOSABLE PHOTOS

2009-02-21T22:29:00.010-05:00

Bought a few disposable cameras to annoy everyone on the Kink Bikes trip with. The photo of Aaron above was not shot with a disposable. He didn't pull it though, so does that make it disposable? I have to plug the video one more time, Darryl did such a wicked job on it. Watch it here.
