Baldface Night Shots

I had an incredible opportunity this past weekend to head up to Baldface Lodge in Nelson, BC for a private 3-day shoot. It was absolutely DUMPING almost the entire time there, so I didn’t have much good light. Saturday night the weather cleared for a bit and I was able to get out and light up the lodge, chalets, and trees for some decent night shots – too bad it wasn’t clear, because adding stars to the images would have made for some really sweet shots. Also had a chance to shoot the legendary Scot Schmidt on our heli ride out – he was skiing with other people in our group the whole weekend, but this is a better shot anyway. Scot is one of the reasons skiing is what it is today, a true pioneer, amazing athlete and incredible inspiration; it’s always a thrill to meet one of your childhood heroes.

And an incred video of old Warren Miller footage of Scot:

Michael Muller’s work would be stunning even if he were just photographing humans, but no, he shoots great whites. With underwater lighting. Incredible. Check out his site HERE.

The Decisive Moment

Well, that’s upsetting. Apparently this wonderful Henri Cartier-Bresson vid has been deleted from Vimeo. Lame.

Little People :: Slinkachu

And now, a post embracing my obsession with miniature things – there are a few people out there shooting tiny plastic people posed in street scenes, or on food (see Christoper Boffoli), but my favorite is definitely London-based artist Slinkachu, who’s been shooting The Little People Project since 2006. It’s a mix of street art, performance art, and photography and he’s presenting the full package – the tiny figures are posed on real streets with real objects, and the photo sequences zoom way out so you get to see the installations in various scales and contexts, each one very different than the previous. They’re funny, smart, and subtle, especially considering their size. Anyway, here are a few images:

There are tons more at The Little People blog, it’s awesome and I highly recommend checking it out. Here’s an interview on The Economist blog More Intelligent Life. Also – books for sale on Amazon. Check out Inner City Snail, it’s pretty sweet too.

Cyriak

Here are two of the strangest and most awesomest videos I’ve ever seen, both from video artist Cyriak Harris:

Thanks to Tony Birkholtz of Another Being Creative for the tip-off. I think these contrast nicely with the previous post…
