WHERE'S BACKCOUNTRY? (Not nearly as catchy as Where's Waldo, hmmmm)

Hi there :) this post is all about where the Backcountry Photography photos can be seen as of late. With links!

I’ve been busy with getting ready for the gem show: working for Geoff Notkin of Aerolite Meteorites and the TV show Meteorite Men, doing the photography for articles written by Lisa Marie in this year’s Tucson EZ Guide, and providing photos for the Denver, Quartzsite and Tucson EZ Guides. (cover and interior pages)

Check out the guides:

Now up - Backcountry Photography photos on the front page of the Science Channel website! Meteorite Men is about to kick off its first season so promos are on the front page of the Science Channel. http://science.discovery.com/

And, when you go to the Meteorite Men page there are more of my photos. I traveled with the crew on 4 location shoots; Tucson, Odessa, West, and Gold Basin. Most of the photos from those locations were taken by me! Check out the flash banner and photo gallery.

Mr. Meteorite, Ruben Garcia, was on location at the West, Texas Meteorite Men shoot. You can see some of my photos on his website: http://www.mr-meteorite.net/meteoritetvshows.htm. Thanks Ruben for the photo credit.

Also, take a look at Geoff Notkin’s science blog, The Logical Lizard on the Tucson Citizen online newspaper. “Meet the Logical Lizard at Flandrau’s Science Café tonight.”.

And for the biggest surprise in the Backcountry Photography world – I was the videographer for the teaser/interview for Geoff’s speaking engagement for Flandrau Science Café: “From Fallen Stars to Media Stars”.

Just to answer the question I know you want to ask – yes, that was done in one take; hence the wobbly camera work as my arms started to shake from holding the camera up for so long.

I know, I know, two posts in one day. No need to duck your head and run inside, the sky isn’t falling and it is not the end of the world; I should be doing paperwork and would prefer not to. Actually, I’ve been pretty busy lately; between working, training, chasing after black rocks that have fallen from the sky, and adopting a new dog (yes…that brings the total up to 3) and haven’t had a chance to do much Backcountry Photography business stuff, so that is what today has been reserved for.

But, anyway, back to the working part. I have been working for Geoff Notkin of Aerolite Meteorites, Stanegate Studios, Meteorite Men, the Logical Lizard, etc, etc, (he’s busier than I am) and a good portion of my job is to shoot photos -- photos of meteorites. That’s right, I am being paid to do two of my favorite things, photography and playing with rocks. I don’t even need to tell you how happy with this turn of events. And not only that, but Geoff frequently uses the photos I’ve taken in his articles. Soooo, let's revisit; I’m getting paid, doing photography, playing with meteorites and building my portfolio. I keep having to refrain myself from telling him I would do the job for free. If you know him, do me a favor and don’t mention that bit.

But, anyway, my previous posts give one perspective of my work, the fine art side, the following links give another. So please check out some of my product photography in the links below. If I may make a recommendation, after you’re done checking out my photos, read the posts, they are entertaining, educational, and well written.

And if you head to the aerolite.org new listings page, the majority of the photos are ones that I took.
