There are athletes and then there are super athletes like Lolo Jones. It was hard for me to prepare for this trip and project. Its not like you can just show up and shoot whatever. For this trip, i gathered the best of the best. I made a couple phone calls and some how managed to get Mark Shonka from Oakley in which he showed up with an new RED EPIC camera and a ton of glass (thank you sir), then i called on Iain Harris from Hype Media who has been traveling this whole year with me and he shows up with a RED EPIC CAMERA as well,and then i got the honor to bring legend photographer and one of my best friends John Schnack of Schnackstudios. This project will go down in my top 3 best trips.

ASICS takes over the NYC. Where do I start. How long was i there? 7 days. What did I do? I documented the ING NYC MARATHON for ASICS. It was 7 days of filming. We would film and edit the same day so the web content was fresh every morning. Not my favorite way to work(lack of sleep) but thanks to my amazing team, we pulled it off.The team consisted of 4 filmers, 4 scooters, 4 scooter drives, 4 PA’s supplied by the ING ,a managing producer to keep us on point, and an amazing team of ASICS representatives. This was an amazing opportunity for the entire unified ING New York City Marathon community to raise way more money than ever and make the ING NYC Marathon the most incredible fundraising event of the century.

My dream came true on this trip, i got to visit one of the most famous camera stores in the world – BHphoto and Video. You could spend a lot of money here.

Daphne’s a new client of mine hired me to do a one day video shoot with Kelly Slater. That was pretty much a no brainer for me. Kelly being a long time friend of mine thanks to Taylor Steele is one of my favorite people to work with. The shoot started in the am at the Carlsbad restaurant location then in the afternoon we headed to Daphne’s owner Bill Trefethen’s house for a little celebration. Congrats Kelly on your 11th World Title.

INFO: Professional surfer Kelly Slater, who has long been a symbol of the healthy athlete, has been hired as a pitchman for Daphne’s California Greek, a San Diego-based restaurant chain that emerged from bankruptcy and is now trying to draw more customers with healthier food. Slater, 39, will create a surf team that represents the company and he’ll serve as a consultant on Daphne’s menu. The company is adding a variety of items, such as seafood and salad dishes that contain fewer than 700 calories.
