First weekend out with the Red One



Just got back from my first weekend out with the Red One. In addition to shooting a little climbing I went and filmed a few of my favorite subjects: Wind Turbines. On the way back to Laramie I stopped by the road and got a little footage of some rusty cars. Mostly, this weekend was just a test of the new camera. It has quite a lot of complex options for controlling the images and it will take me a few weeks to really get up to speed with it. I know this much though: I love working with the new format. The quality is something I've never had access to before and it's a really awesome feeling to be working with Hollywood-caliber footage.

I've compressed a short clip and put it on my web site, here: RED DEMO - WYOMING As you watch, keep in mind that the resolution on my web site is 1/16th the native size of the footage.

Below the video there are a few Individual frames you can download at the original full quality if you are curious to see how it looks without any compression. Needless to say, I'm psyched.

Ethiopia Video Launched


The video from my trip to Ethiopia is finished and ready for viewing. It's about 15 minutes long so make sure you have a little time to view it. I'm proud of the way it turned out and I sincerely hope it helps to promote some awareness for how important it is to have access to clean water.

Click on over to my web site to check out the video.

Flip Someone Off.... For a Good Cause


Flannnery, the bravest little finger breaker in Denver.
To learn more about her cause, please continue reading.




We've all heard about broken fingers, and the unthinkable damage they can cause to an individual, a family, and a community. Most of us sit around typing, making food, and doing other finger-related activities without even thinking about our ten little workers on our hands, without whom we would be nothing more than mitten-like freaks, unable to turn a page or write with a pencil.

Recently our group of friends has had to deal with the loss of the use of one of our teammates fingers. Flannery Shay-Nemirow currently has a broken middle finger, apparently from climbing too hard. Her finger is currently in a splint, keeping it straight and immobile for a period of five weeks.

The devastation has hit home. How do I get rid of this hollow feeling inside me?

ANNOUNCING.....


FLIP-OFF FOR FLAN!!!!!!
A fun way to raise awareness about broken fingers in America

The goal of Flip-off for Flan is to raise awareness about broken fingers in America, and the hardship they cause. We are encouring everyone for the next five weeks to show solidarity with those who have been hit hardest by this problem and raise your middle finger as a sign that you support Flan and all the other Americans who are living through the everyday challenges of having a broken finger.

Our message is gaining momentum. After only a week of promoting Flip-off for Flan I have recently heard that our message has made it as far as the roads of California, where one of our team saw the secret hand symbol many times driving on the roads of Los Angeles.

Won't you be part of this tsunami of support? Next time you are with a loved one or a stranger, remember to flip them off..... for Flan.


You can flip-off with your friends!


You can flip-off with a hat! Try it! It's fun!


Mike Haugen, Everest-summiter. "This is the most meaningful thing I've ever done. We're here for you Flan."


Even her brother is a supporter, wow, what a sacrifice.


Remember, raising awareness is as easy....


as raising your finger.
