Salmon River Rafting Photography

October 29th, 2009

Here’s a peak at some of the photos made on a recent rafting trip to the Salmon River in Idaho.  We had about the same range in weather as we did in rapids- from sunshine to storms and from smooth calm water to adrenaline pumping rapids.  It was an adventurous experience navigating the turns of the river in both a raft and an inflatable kayak.  Sam Castaldo was a great guide and I’d ride with him any day!  Enjoy the photos!

Outside Magazine & Turner Forte Photography

October 15th, 2009

Pick up the current October issue of Outside Magazine and see some of our photos.  On page 10, you’ll find James’s amazing shot of Mobula Rays underwater.  This shot was taken in the middle of the day so it should be really bright, but instead the rays have blocked out all the light.  With this dense cloud of rays swimming overhead, James says it was like an eclipse!

In a way different part of the world, here are a couple shots from Marfa, Texas.   If you ever find yourself on the lone highways of West Texas, this artsy and eclectic town is a must!
