We had a bunch of assignments this spring that took us all over Santa Barbara County for the annual Visitors Guide.  We shot everything from food to chefs and wineries.  It’s always fun to explore Santa Barbara and all it has to offer, even learning about new gems.   Here are some of the tearsheets to check out!

Texas Fishing Photography

Our stock library is constantly growing.  It’s always fun to come across images and rework them.  After processing this one and looking at it more, the sky is amazing.  The dock leading out to the huge storm cell can be interpreted in so many ways…  This huge storm supercell grew quickly on the horizon of the Laguna Madre when we were fishing for redfish a year or two back on the Texas Gulf Coast.  As the storm approached rapidly, James kept telling the guide, “one more, one more shot” and within minutes the storm blanketed the skies and turned day into what felt like night.  Our guide, Freddie Lynch (the best guide down there) jetted to the nearest fishing camp and we ran for cover while the storm passed.  Not the photos we were thinking we would get, but definitely keepers!

On a recent photo trip to Bodie State Historic Park, James took pictures along Highway 395.  Stops included Owens Valley, Virginia Lakes, Mono Lake, the mountains above Bridgeport.  Bodie is the largest ghost town in America with over 100 buildings that are in an ‘arrested decay.’  During the gold rush of 1879, it was once the second largest city in California behind San Francisco. James had special access to video and photograph the interior of many buildings as well!  Check out the photos…
