Unterwegs – A Journey’s Journey
A journey’s journey. Movement and development. Pattern and chaos.
This was filmed while travailing around Europe in the winter of 1989 and summer of 1990. It was shot on Super 8 (that’s right: those are real bits of dust and scratches!) with a cheap, plastic movie camera I got in a thrift store. Read more
Ski Jumping
Shot on the Canon 5D mkII at the Blackhawk Ski Club near Madison.
Last weekend Chris and I spent the afternoon photographing a regional youth ski jumping meet here in Madison (Middleton actually). Wasn’t for a job–a friend of mine is on ski patrol at this area and let us know about it. It was quite exiting, and we made some nice contacts so maybe something more will come of it. Read more
Race to Mackinac Video
A short video cobbled together from very few clips i managed to shoot with the Canon G9 while racing the “Mac” on Intuition (S2 9.2a). We took second place in the Cruising 2 Div. Read more
Shot Across the Bow
This was shot with my underwater-camera-on-a-floatable-stick device. Comprised of a Bogen monopod mounted with an articulated head, and an empty plastic water bottle duck-taped to the upper end of the monopod shaft for extra buoyancy. Mounted on the head is a Canon G9 in a rigid waterproof housing. The camera itself is set to a custom self-timer that shoots 3 shots in rapid succession 10 seconds after the shutter button is pushed.

Focusing Screen
These photos of the back yard bench were shot through the screen door. First focused on the bench, last on the screen itself, and the middle one somewhere in the middle ground. All kinds of cool optics, moire and physics going on. Not to mention you’re looking at the resulting pixels on an other grid in the form of a monitor.
