a few weeks ago i went to hang with a group of archeologists and some high school students in 9 mile canyon for a few days. it was the first time the paper had sent me anywhere for more than a day (probably because I have a tent and food was provided).
i was the only one going down there and had to shoot stills, video and write the story. having a writing background, i was glad to go, especially since i could sleep on the ground and play in the mountains.
but even though I had plenty of time to do interviews and shoot at 1 and 30 frames per second, it was hard to bring back work that satisfied me. when something cool happens and i'm not sure whether to produce pen and paper or hit record or the shutter release, work suffers.
sure, it was ok stuff but when i go somewhere for more than a day, i want it to be great stuff. so every time i try to do 'everything' i'm disappointed and come to the same conclusion: that a medium suffers if you try to shoulder another one at the same time.
anyway, here are some photos that are more of the playing around with the camera kind from a trip that was still pretty amazing. because what you can't see, we played in the mountains quite a bit , so much i had to put away the cameras and hold on for dear life...
here is the story, if you're interested.
