Here is a piece I did from this past October’s Eddie Adams Workshop.  Inspired by the brilliant Paul Octavious.

I had the honor of being invited to go to Phoot Camp this past August in LA.  I met Ryan Schude, Paul Octavious, & Steph Goralnick in Virginia at LookBetween and they thought I would be a good fit.  First and foremost: Thank you, you three.  I had so much fucking fun.

The question is, “what would happen if you took all of these talented people, stuck them in a reality tv setting and let them loose?”

The equation looks something like this: 29 amazing photographers from all over the world + 4 days in a mansion in LA + 1 saltwater pool x a shitload of equipment, talent & booze = ???

The answer = PHOOT CAMP!!!!

The brain child of the wonderful & prolific Laura Brunow-Miner (former editor of JPG Magazine & current creator of Pictorymag.com) & the wonderful & dashing Brad Smith of Virb.com

Here is my tribute to one of the best weekends of the year.  Thanks everyone for making it so amazing.  You all look great!
