Evan Hecox show In New York...

Ok, every time I see something new from artist Evan Hecox I'm amazed so much by how he pushes himself.  I've been following his artwork for years and have really enjoyed the direction he has taken his work, and now more than ever.  Loving the use of geometric shapes and lettering combined with his visual urban landscapes.  He is opening a show of all new work next weekend at the Joshua Liner Gallery in New York and I'm sure it's safe to say it's gonna be amazing!

DigiPlate | Mounting system for your laptop

I'm always looking for new gear that can make my workflow better, and one tool that isn't out there, is a great location laptop stand.  I find myself sticking my laptop in the most unsafe spots sometimes when I can't have a full cart in the area I'm shooting.  Well I just came across a product that needs to be supported, pass this on so we can see this come to reality, I want one!  Would be great for musicians, Dj's, photogs, etc...  I already put my order in!

Get all the details and support it on Kickstarter here. You can see an in depth description and videos. Check out the updates page for a video where they mount the laptop to the roof of a car and drive 80mph!

Tom Schaar: The First Person to Land a 1080...

March 26 marked the first time in the history of skateboarding that anyone had landed a 1080 and had the footage to prove it – shockingly completed by 12-year-old Tom Schaar. Skating since he was four, the logical progression from 540 to 900 to 1080 occurred naturally as if there was no doubt that Schaar would be able to pull it off. Comprised of three complete rotations, Schaar was able to achieve the amazing feat after only five attempts on the mega ramp at Woodward.  To put in in perspective, Tony Hawk, the worlds most well known skateboarder didn't land a 900 until he was 30 and has never completed a 1080.  So basically this Tom Schaar kid is gonna be one to watch in years to come!

In addition, Tom Schaar holds the distinction of also being the youngest X Games gold medalist after taking home the top prize in Beijing at the MiniMega Event.

One of my all time favorite artists Barry Mcgee just opened the doors to a solo exhibition at the Prism Gallery in Los Angeles.  His first show there was a duo show with another great artist Phil Frost.  The show looks great, check it out if you're in L.A. before June 30th.

Dallas Cowboys Stadium shoot...

I recently got to photograph Jerry Jones for Forbes Magazine.  Here's an iPhone shot of my photo assistant David on the 50 yard line as we were getting a set built.  I'll post the portrait when I'm allowed.  That place is pretty amazing though!
