Winter at Winterberry Farm
Winter came and went at Winterberry Farm and Dylan and I continued filming Mary’s final year farming there after 25 years. We added a new friend L Clark Tate to the project team as well and hope to finish our documentary this summer. We’re in the wild state of just trying to film everything we…

Short Videos in Freeport, Maine
At the end of last week, David from The Distance Project and Physiology First in Freeport, Maine reached out about filming two short videos on Saturday. He had just had an opportunity to appear on a large Podcast/YouTube channel and wanted to quickly revamp his web presence before the podcast dropped. We met up on…

Maine Author Portraits
Yesterday, I spent the morning with local author Chelsea Steinauer-Scudder in the grasslands of Kennebunk Plains. I had never been there before but a friend had recently mentioned it as a unique habitat in Maine and it resembles the grasslands of Nantucket and Oklahoma, where Chelsea grew up, so we thought it would be a…

XTERRA Trail Run World Champs Filming
A few weeks back I was part of the team filming the inaugural XTERRA Trail Run World Championship at Sugarloaf. I had worked with their team on the teaser video for the new race and it was fun to see the trails we ran alone filled with runners from around the world. Here are some…

A Rainy Trip Down Memory Lane
Emma and I just booked a place up in Lubec for a little later this fall and it sent my mind back to our last visit there: It was pouring almost the entire weekend. Emma was pregnant and we were celebrating our first wedding anniversary. We were all very cold (Dilly included) but did get…

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…

L.L. Bean or Photographing Vacationalnd
I first photographed for L.L. Bean back in 2016 and have been lucky enough to be invited back for a variety of projects in the years since. Each trip feels like a walk through my childhood memories of what it’s like to be out in nature without commitments. We’re building real fun and it’s my…

Acadia Running Retreat with Mirna
Here are some scenes from the Mirna Valerio x Aire Libre trail running trip to Acadia in June: Whew! What an amazing weekend it was! Alongside Ian Ramsey, Ana, and Mirna it was so fun to see this trip finally come together after a few years of planning and I was so thankful to get…

David Bidler Portraits
I first met David Bidler while filming and photographing a project for Territory Run Co. on local teacher/musician/runner/writer Ian Ramsey. Ian belonged to David’s gym, The Distance Project in Freeport, so we filmed a few scenes there and then earlier this spring David reached back out for some portraits and we reconnected. We worked hard…

Headshots for Friends!
Two creative friends, Dylan Ladds and Noah Fishman, were interested in new headshots so we went out to Westbrook for a morning of homemade lattes and goofy lighting setups. This was my practice run between paternity leave and “work” and I was so thankful for the opportunity to shake off the sleep deprivation cobwebs. The…

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…

Portland, ME Blizzard
I love snowstorms and last weekend was a great one in Portland. Right now, my wife, Emma, and I are grappling with how to be out in nature without having to drive so darn much to reach it. We are hopefully selling our “outdoorsy” Subaru later this week to spend more time outside on an…

I’m Not A 0° Surfer
Last weekend, nice clean waves were headed to the beaches of Scarborough, ME, the closest surf town to our home in Portland. The webcam looked great and a few friends texted about jumping in. I said no. It was also below 0° most of the weekend and really windy. I’ll happily run, walk, and bike…
