We are back from a week of shooting Converse in Portland. I fall in love with that place more and more every visit. Here are some quick iPhone pics taken on down times, which there wasn’t much of.


Eli in the mall on our one day off in weeks.

In the same mall we saw this huge ad in Footlocker of feet we’ve shot over the past 2 trips with them. Two of the shots are our assistant.

Our team, during a Quiksilver catalog shoot we did the days before leaving for Portland.



Our reflections on someone’s office wall thru the sunroof on the roof of some building.

Taken from the same roof, look at that mountain!

There was a huge parade outside of our hotel the first night. Horns blowing until midnight.



Mara from Converse.

I kept putting up these photos on our Twitter with Day 1 wrapped, etc. Don’t know why I think people would care.

Our photo crew could beat your photo crew at pool, bring it.

Our motor home driver played solitaire on his lap top all day, like 14 hours straight.

Now that’s a great assistant.

Yup, more twitter.

We got to hang out with Ms. Natalie Flemming a bunch which is always fantastic.

We end up just taking pictures of each other on lunch breaks.



This guy gets amazing things out of us.

Our buddy Mr. Daniel Shumizu was on our plane back to L.A.

and slept the whole way. He has embarked a southwest Bummer High tour. Go say hello.

The real photos will be posted when we can, you know how it works. Another successful and fun campaign with them. They just keep getting better!
