More work on the Grygera project.  I spent a few hours at their shop shooting boards for their online catalog.  The board shots are boring, but Jeff also hammed it up for me in front of the camera. 

In the second shot, notice the floating particles of dust?  Those are pieces of the foam blanks that Jeff cuts to make the boards.  We had tried to dust him off a bit and those particles just hung in the air and the strobes caught them.  He kinda looks like Pig Pen from Peanuts.

A few years back my longtime friend, Chad, started Vuori Clothing with his business partner.  Vuori shirts are the most comfortable shirts I've ever worn, and coming from a lifelong t-shirt afficionado like me, that means a lot.  They are hand-cut from organic cotton and feature Chad's unique designs.  Some of these images will be featured in an upcoming piece on Vuori Clothing in Ranch and Coast Magazine.

If you remember the shoot of Kassia Meador I did for Gravis last week, I just got the finished video clip from superstar Pete Santa Maria.  The video features a few of my images from the shoot.  Hit the play button to see the vid.

On Thursday I did a quick shoot of Kassia Meador for Gravis Footwear.  The shoot is part of a project Gravis is doing to feature several of their riders and focus on each rider's artistic talents.  The project will feature still images and video, which is being shot by the legendary Pete Santa Maria.

Kassia is a phenomenal professional longboarder and an accomplished artist.  Most of her work involves large phtographic prints adhered to a wood frame, laminated in--what else--surfboard resin.
