Barbaric YAWPS while drinking coffee.
"I too am not a bit tamed, I too am untranslatable,
I sound my barbaric yawp over the roofs of the world."
- Walt Whitman
Isle of Skye | Leica M3 35mm
Skye and Glencoe felt like walking onto the set of movie, or a book you read as a kid. After an amazing drive, we arrived at the Clachaig Inn, then we walked up to the Queens Cairn, the place where Queen Victoria used to sit and paint “the three sisters”. Later, sitting in the pub, listening to the accents, and drinking ale and scotch, I couldn’t believe this place could be any more storybook. The next day I was proven wrong, as we boarded the Jacobite Express, a steam train that travels the route used in the Harry Potter movies. We all took turns as the train crossed the viaduct leaning out the window and grabbing images, soot landing in our hair and eyes. We sat in our train car, listening to a little girl across from us practice spells. “Wingardium Leviosa!” she yelled! twirling her wand, as her older sister chided her, correcting the pronunciation. The next few days, we traveled across the Isle, visiting castles, and hiking the Stoor, one of the most amazing places I’ve ever been. We only shot film on this trip, usually with my Leica M2, on Kodak Portra film.
Stewart & Christie | Bespoke Tweed
We were so lucky to tag along on this shoot with Orange Photographie, shooting for Stewart & Christie. They make the most beautiful Bespoke Tweed. Had so much fun working with Vixie, and loved the looks and feel she put together. Our models, Fred the worlds best looking geologist, and Olivia and Issac (who coincidentally are the possible names of my future children) were amazing, and even though it was raining and cold, made our job as photographers easy. We shot both in, and outside of Borthwick castle, which was basically fulfilling bucket list items I didn’t even know I had.
If you are ever in Edinburgh, visit their shop, its wonderful, and check them out online here: http://www.stewartchristie.com
Alexa | Glacier Elopement
Winter means short days, and beautiful light. I’m so thankful for people who get my crazy, and endure the cold, and snow for beautiful images. Winter is also the best time to try new things, and let ideas happen. I go a little stir crazy, as our season of shooting slows to a crawl, and I’ve always been bad at relaxing. Wanted to try something different for this, so I dragged a sliding window from my back door around glacier park, dipping it in the freezing water, then shooting through it. Made for something unique, and new to me. Alexa was amazing, and barely flinched when we through boiling water a little too close to her back (sorry!!) Making ideas reality with people who get it, nothing makes me happier.
