Ethiopia Multimedia Video Launches

Thursday, June 25th, 2009

I am excited to debut the 7-minute documentary “Land of Hardship, People of Hope” on my Multimedia page. I shot a week-long project revealing Ethiopia’s orphan crisis and the work that an amazing nonprofit agency is doing to revitalize some of the hardest-hit communities. The presentation, captured with Canon EOS 5D Mark II video and stills cameras, combines HD video, stills and sound, as well as beautiful Ethiopian music. I had the honor of working with the kind people at Crispin Porter + Bogusky ad agency, who edited and produced the video pro bono.

I am also selling select images from my travels in Ethiopia to raise money for Wide Horizons for Children’s Ethiopian humanitarian-aid program. 100 percent of proceeds from the sale of these prints will go to this outstanding nonprofit agency. Click here to see the online gallery.

A few shots from the Canon workshop in Aspen on June 6-7! (Photos courtesy of Erika Silverstein at Canon.) We had a great class, shooting at the beautiful Maroon Bells, which was a mix of snow squalls and bright sun. Canon provided gear demos galore (even a few telephoto lenses I hadn’t tried before), and most importantly everyone learned a lot. I am excited to be leading another workshop with Canon on Sept. 26-27 during Aspen’s stunning peak-foliage weekend, when the aspen leaves blaze yellow and orange. Enrollment details to come shortly!

The latest cover of Elevation Outdoors magazine features one of my images of the talented athlete Jessa climbing at Independence Pass near Aspen. This photo was part of an assignment for Canon last fall; also check out photos of Jessa that were used in Canon’s 2008-09 EOS and Powershot Brochures.

Patagonia’s “Summer Favorites” catalog just published and includes four portraits I shot this spring of environmentalists who are part of Patagonia’s Freedom to Roam campaign. Above are two of the clips. The portrait on the left is of Rick Ridgeway, Patagonia’s VP of Environmental Initiatives, in Ojai, CA. The portrait on the right is of Louisa Willcox of the Natural Resources Defense Council, in Livingston, MT. It was great to travel to the beautiful regions of California, Nevada and Montana to photograph these kind people in their hometowns! Many thanks to Tim Davis for the art direction and inspiration.
