one of the absolute grandest aspects, bar none, of working in independent visual media is the chance you may get a phone call at any time that could realistically change for the better your day, month or year. you just never know who’s out there watching your work, waiting for the right time to reach [...]

great little guy in powder magazine’s feb edition cover feature called ’sonic youth’ featuring the top 20 skiers 18 + under on the continent.
i’ve had the pleasure of working with whitefish, mt native mitch numerous times over the past few years + nothing but good things to say. humble man with a ton of potential. [...]

whew, talk about planning + production. in the fluctuating world of non-profit work we’ve had to make a few changes to our plan for this years’ project. we’re excited to be working with NYPAW (network of young people affected by war) + in order to make our project a success we’ve decided to postpone our [...]
