... along with some other fun stuff, made this small poster - depicted a totally impossible feat - but had a lot of fun watching everyones eyes widen and jaws drop when I'd first whip it out for them to view... not a great copy above - no longer have the original digital file - that's a scan of the poster print...
... well, maybe not that all improbable - check out this just released new video featuring the amazing pro biker 'Danny MacAskill'...
... 'The Ridge'...
... totally brilliant video - photographed on location at the 'Isle of Skye' in Scotland, along the 'Cuillin Ridge'... totally flawless - excellent in all aspects - photography doesn't get any more gorgeous than this... good music track as well featuring the late, great 'Martyn Bennett'...
... "great work" to everyone on this one...
... wish we would'a had access to a modern 'quad-copter' and 'Go-Pro' cameras back when we filmed 'Backcountry' (see website 'Cinema' page) years ago - weren't invented yet... we actually did shoot some aerial footage - photographed from a 'rented for the day' ($35!!) 'Cessna' plane with pilot - however, the updrafts along 'Chestnut Ride' from the river gorge that day were totally horrendous - was like trying to photograph hand-held from inside a spinning front-load washing machine - gotta' give the pilot credit for hanging in there, though - we really got buffeted... but the footage turned out to totally horrible... one cool highlight of note from that day - while flying over from the local airport, a large 'Red-Tail Hawk' flew with us for about half a mile - staying to the right and level with the plane, about 50 feet out...
