Trail Running Camp
I’ve been taking my running pretty easily the last couple of months while recovering from some patellar tendinopathy but dove back in last week to photograph the Pemi Loop and Devil’s Path. The physical therapy I’ve been doing with Danielle at Starting Line paid off and I’m feeling injury-free after two big days in the…

Fall Pemi Loop Run
This year, I’ve been working my way through the classic longer trail runs on the East Coast. I started with the Art Loeb trail in North Carolina, then the Presidential Traverse in NH, then a big loop around Baxter State Park in my home state of Maine, and finally this week I found a time…

XTERRA World Championship
I spent a day with Patrick Caron exploring the new course at Sugarloaf Mountain for the XTERRA Trail Run World Championship. It’s a completely new race so my task was to film and edit a video that introduced people to the trails and capture a few photos of Patrick running the course. We first met…

Presi Traverse Trail Run
This summer, I’ve been mainly focused on parenting my son, commercial photography and filmmaking work, and visiting family all around New England. This hasn’t left quite as much time as usual for spontaneous big days out in the mountains but tomorrow I’m headed to Baxter for the first time for trail running adventures with Kellan,…

What Goes Unsaid for Dooster + COROS
Last summer I worked with director Ryan Scura of Dooster and producer Andy Cochrane on a documentary on Tim Tollefson for COROS. My portion was filming Tim around Chamonix, France, general landscapes around Mount Blanc, and then filming the UTMB race. I also captured other COROS athletes during the race, like Killian Jornet who went…

Boston Marathon Shoe for Topo Athletic
I fit in a few last minute shoots right before the start of paternity leave and one of my favorites was an afternoon project for Topo Athletics’ new Boston Marathon shoe. I was able to cast a model I had worked with on an L.L. Bean project a few years back, Siedah, which was a…

Boston Marathon Coverage for The New York Times
Whew! Back to work I go! I had planned to slowly ease back into working but instead dove back in with Boston Marathon coverage for The New York Times. I started with a few days of portraits related to what the finish line means ten years since the Boston Marathon bombing. A few portraits were…

Thoughts on flying home from filming the UTMB
I went back to Chamonix, France for a second time this summer to film the UTMB race for a running industry brand as part of a film by Ryan Scura over at Dooster and Andy Cochrane. They have been working on this project for the past couple of months and I was just filling in…

Sunday Run in Cape
A new potential client reached out for some summer New England trail running photos with strong summer vibes. They mentioned costumes and my friend Emma Sloan knew just what the runners should wear. She and my wife Emma (also an Emma S) sported two colorful tracksuits from her mom’s time on the US Olympic Marathon…

Janji 2021 Videos
I’m currently reading Bernd Heinrich’s new book “Racing the Clock” on how his last nearly 80 years of running and thinking about the natural world have intertwined. Heinrich has lived in Western Maine on and off since childhood and many of the ultramarathon records he set were on a track not that far from my…
