the lomo roll

July 3, 2012 by Chip

ESPN the Magazine called with a strange request. Hey (paraphrasing) can you go to Miami and photograph a MLB baseball player making sushi? Umm, sure? Turns out that Miami Marlins player, Logan Morrison, was designing his own sushi roll to sell at Mr. Yum in Calle Ocho. Why? Well beyond the obvious marketing on both sides, there was a quiet and very touching reason: $4 of every $18.95 would go to American Lung Association in memory of his father. Moreover, you [...]

kendra morris

June 1, 2012 by chip

Shot the fab Kendra Morris for Bay Magazine a few months back and it just ran, so here you go…a lot of my shoots these days are like this: Here’s a name, go meet them and have fun. I like that. Freedom. The one catch was that she is a thrift shop junkie and that had to be represented a bit, so we basically spent afternoon running to her favorite joints Art Pool Rules in St. Petersburg and Thrift [...]

homer. harry. spidey. barney.

May 22, 2012 by chip

Spent a couple days working with a few characters up at Universal Studios for a marketing shoot a few months back. Truly one of the most enjoyable gigs when the client hands you a keys to their park and says “have fun.” We (I and my super-stud assistant Brian Blanco) spent the days running from roller coaster to roller coaster with essentially an Alien Bee on a painter’s pole meeting guests and making pictures much as I would have at [...]

lebron, wade, and i

April 5, 2012 by chip

So LeBron James, Dwayne Wade, and I were there together hanging out and….well, there really isn’t going to be a time I get to say that again, so I’m going to take advantage now. I was lucky enough to be part of the huge team that the fine folks at ESPN the Magazine put together for their latest One Day, One Game series. The point is to give fans a glimpse into everything that it takes for one single game [...]

¡viva la mexico!

February 23, 2012 by chip

I don’t know how a photographer can ever actually go on vacation – it might take a cement room devoid of any color in Des Moines for me to actually leave a camera aside and take a “vacation” from “work.” I constantly find it amazing we can call photography work. Oh well, let me load up the carousel with some slides and make you sit through my vacation photos. Here I was in Mexico…then here’s that colorful wall I waited [...]

newt, mitt, ron, and rick…

February 1, 2012 by chip

I could sit here and write a ton of copy about covering Florida politics. Fact of the matter is, it’s weird, it’s draining, and it’s one of most fun things I get to do in photojournalism. With that, here are some random rectangles from the week of covering Mitt Romney’s win in the Florida Primary with some scraps from the cutting room floor as a bonus. Tweet

I-4 or bust

February 1, 2012 by chip

I-4 is an interesting road. Connecting Daytona, Orlando and Tampa, it slices the nub of South Florida right off the map, it provides a vast array of landmarks – strange kitschy theme parks, vasectomy billboards, and rest stop oasis after oasis. It is also fertile ground for voters and an area candidates target every election cycle. The New York Times sent me with a reporter and videographer to tackle I-4 man-on-the street style to try to find folks opinionated about [...]

ok @instagram, you win. #apublicapology

December 30, 2011 by chip

You know what, Instagram? I’m sorry. I cursed you and your buddy Hipstamatic for the last couple years. You were destroying our industry, flooding our market with imagery, and making the construction and process of image-making too easy and less intellectual. I was one of, if not the guy who wrote the blog post that started the whole Damon Winter/POYi mess. I cursed iPhoneography, Holgaroids, and Urban Outphittography™. Oooooh, I like that – Urban Outphittography. Note the ™. I’m big [...]

the creamsicle strikes back

December 8, 2011 by chip

Return of the creamsicle…love it. For a team that wears red all season long, I seem to get hired by the Bucs when they throwback or go pink, but I’ll take it. I always love shooting for public relations in these situations, because I’m generally given the (paraphrasing) “Here’s the images we need, but otherwise have fun” job. I’ve covered dozens of games at this stadium over the years, but always try to find a few new things to shoot. [...]
