LEO CARILLO


Around 5 PM I had the bright idea that driving up past Malibu to go camping would be a grand idea. Well, minus sitting in traffic for 2 hours, setting the tent up in the dark, and hearing a wild animal attack in the middle of the night - it was. Leo Carillo campsite is one underpass away from a world of ocean exploration. Early in the morning there are hundreds of tide pools and ocean caves exposed. Plus, retro looking bright blue life guard stations, an ocean side hike and wild life. I took my tripod with and got some great long shutter shots at night.

SUNDANCE 2009

January 15, I headed to Park City, Utah with the Polk Imaging team, to shoot various events at the Sundance Film Festival. Some of us were lucky enough to fly, while others endured the 11 hour drive.

Polk Imaging divided to shoot for a few different clients: Got Milk, TMobile and Oakley. Chris Polk photographed celebrities and guests who stopped by The Got Milk studio - every guest got painted with a milk mustache before they were photographed! Everyone had a lot of fun in the studio - Christina Milian, Kaycee Stroh and Danielle Fishel were just a few of our faves.

I assisted at the Got Milk Studio, mainly working as the computer technician. The Canon 5D Mark II was tethered to a 30" screen using Capture One software, so guests could see their photos immediately. After picking a favorite photo I would print a copy for everyone.

When we were done working we drove over to the Oakley house where we shopped the basement and picked out brand new jackets, pants, boots and gloves. Then we hit the Park City slopes with the Oakley snowboarding team. What a trip!

PATRICK MOOTE AND THE 'STACHE


A friend of mine, Patrick, offered to help me test out a new Nikon D60 today by taking some fun head shots. You might recognize him, from ABCs 'Greek' or 'How I Met Your Mother,' but then again, maybe you won't because when he showed up today he also brought a new furry friend... and I'm not talking about the jacket.
