Me and my Mammoth Adventures

Jeff Newsom took this picture of me for my avatar. I love the way Newsom thinks not just outside of the box; but out of this universe!

I was kidnapped and smuggled to Utah for a week by 11 dudes for Mammoth Men 4. Luckily I was able to escape after a week of revelry, photo-taking, and profuse blog posting. We stayed in an amazing mansion in Park City, Utah. Our activities included snowboarding, tubing, snowmobiling, in-door skydiving, and a little more snowboarding. We were sponsored by a lot of awesome companies to post our adventures daily. We ran some really fun contests for our readers and even a fundraiser for a couple of beautiful non-profit organizations. It was a time of male-bonding, inspiration, and encouragement. Being a part of the Mammoth Men made me want to be a better photographer and an all around better man. Since I’m usually behind the camera I thought it would be cool to show pictures that the guys got of me.

Sean Flanigan poached this Newsom creation. ;) But I’m glad he did because it has such a different feel.

Jory Cordy is such a deeeelight!

Where’s Ingalls?


Michael Norwood is an amazing dude!



A little more Newsom love. Indoor skydiving was harder than the real thing. You had to try not to hit the walls. When I went real-outdoor skydiving all you had to do was try not to hit the ground!
Caught eating ice-cream in the freezer again. ;)

J.C. and The A’pause’stles.

Nice little wake up call… Thanks dudes!

It's good to be a Mammoth Man... I am thrilled to be here! Hanging out with these guys is more fun than running the 100 meter race in the special-lympics! It's amazing how 12 men, a hill full of small children, and inter tubes can go together so splendidly! Go check out my posts on the Mammoth Men Blog to see more of my images from today!

Mammoth Men -Let the awesomeness begin!

I am so excited to be invited as an honorary Mammoth Men… Or man!? Anyways, I'm really excited to go on this crazy man-cation with some of the most awesome photographers! It will be a sight to behold and thus I give you...

What are Mammoth Men?

“twelve photographers (of the wedding and portrait variety) + a giant cabin in the mountains + fresh snow for days + six days of blog readers "choosing our adventure" while we crash upon Park City, Utah = A TRIP OF A LIFETIME!!!

the origin of the Mammoth Men:

in the early winter months of 2008, eight celebrated, award-winning and downright awesome photographers from all over the country grabbed their snowboards to ride the mountains of mammoth, california. this marked the beginning of what is now known as…wait for it…the MAMMOTH MEN. what ensued during that getaway was a week filled with adventure, spontaneity, hijinks and storied tales. a bond was forged amongst these men and a commitment made to doing it again, and doing it often!

during 2008, the Mammoth Men hit the road for two more trips. only on these trips, they loaded up 12 men in a Prevost rock star tour bus. on the first trip, they headed up the California Coast for five days of ruckus and shared it on their traffic happy blog. with the success of the first trip notched on their belts, they then ventured into the American Southwest documenting an epic amount of glorious insanity. the blog following continued even after these two trips had ended and garnered media attention in the blogosphere and in magazine publications.

well, the guys are back! in the fourth installment of the MAMMOTH MEN, they are bundling up and heading to the greatest snow on earth - Park City, Utah. watch the mayhem unfold as they shack up in a ginormous cabin and proceed to melt the faces and snow off of the surrounding inhabitants and terrain. with more adventures, more shenanigans, and more camaraderie...more bobsledding?"
it's not just another trip...it's a lifestyle.”

Wedding Photographers like to party

I just returned home from Las Vegas where I hung out with thousands of awesome wedding photographers. This video of Jeff Newsom and The Mammoth Men singing karaoke sums up the highlight of my trip. If I ever get sad I am going to revisit this happy place and all my worries will fade and my sorrows disappear. My wedding photographer and best friend, Jeff Newsom, brought the Hard Rock Hotel’s house down Tuesday night when he took the stage to sing a Queen cover. This may shock some people, but this is the Jeff Newsom that I met over 10 years ago in high school when we both were in bands that played together. Ahhh…. It was so good to see Newsom back on stage. He hasn’t lost it one bit!
