sidelines and silhouettes

December 10, 2012 by Chip

Spent yesterday sweating profusely trying to remember what winter feels like.  For this Colorado kid transplanted to Florida, these 80 degree days in December are now common unlike when I was transplanted here in 2002 – ironically, the same year the Buccaneers won the Super Bowl. Yesterday’s game was full of those players ten years removed from being at the top of their game when I was just starting.  The big names were back – Jon Gruden, Keyshawn Johnson, Warren [...]

the right coast

July 3, 2012 by Chip

Ahhh…color, beach, bikinis.  I really enjoy Florida. I was recently commissioned for a five-day marketing shoot running around Cocoa Beach, Satellite Beach, Kennedy Space Center and all the places that encompass the Space Coast to show off the potpourri of touristy things to do in the area.  I knew NASA.  I knew Ron Jon’s.  I knew a few other things from my time coming to the area as a kid every year to visit the grandparents, but gigs like this [...]

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 [...]

beach bum

October 10, 2011 by chip

      Just stay on the sand. I love these kinds of assignments…and these type of clients.  Bay Magazine is visually helmed by Bruce and Suzette Moyer up at the St. Petersburg Times, and they do an amazing job with their photo play in the high-end travel/lifestyle magazine every month. My gig was about perfect – just drive the coastline of Florida from Ft. DeSoto Park in St. Petersburg to Clearwater Beach, stop, head to the beach and make [...]

it’s the aperture, stupid

September 24, 2011 by chip

I am definitely coming up with some pieces of flair for photojournalists on the election trail.  It can be a lonely place out there covering politics, running from spray to rope to riser, sending from the floor of some conference room, being surrounded by thousands, but only knowing the 10 other photographers in the pool.  All of that, and we have to remain neutral the whole time – without a single piece of flair to adorn our credential laden torso. [...]

casey’s circus

July 19, 2011 by chip

Well, it is Florida. I never really understood why Florida attracts these huge random news stories that seem to take on a life of their own – drawing every Nancy Grace, live truck, and iphonarazzi™ to our neck of the woods.  I’ve covered a more than a few of these.  The abduction and murder of Carlie Brucia, Terry Jones, the pastor who hosted Burn a Koran Day, and Terry Schiavo.  All three were elevated by the media and, yes, I [...]

spf

June 14, 2011 by chip

Well, it was go to the beach and be the only dude wearing jeans in nearly 100 degree weather day. Life as a Florida photojournalist could be rougher, I guess, but for a simple story about new F.D.A. regulations for the marketing of sunscreen (running in tomorrow’s New York Times) you would think finding someone doing just that would be easier.  It was either run around with a telephoto and look like a creep or get up close and run [...]

foreclosureda

May 16, 2011 by chip

  Assignment:  go on tour with realtor and reporter to homes left abandoned in North Port, FL. If anything had “oh-no” written all over it, that did.  I’ve been on the “tour-with-realtor” assignments a million times before, not getting into any house, struggling to make pictures at 65 mph.  However, the realtor, Shannon Moore, saved the day.  She understood exactly what I wanted, and had all the codes and keys to make it happen over a couple hours on an [...]

$20 monogrammed toilet paper

March 24, 2011 by chip

I can’t even think of what I could eat that would warrant a $20 monogrammed single roll of toilet paper, but nonetheless it exists. I thought Naples was the richest city in Florida.  Then I went to Worth Ave. in Palm Beach. I parked my beat down VW in an alley because it just looked sad amongst the Lambos, Jags, and Hummers.  I was sent to Naples and Palm Beach in one weekend to hit high end shopping districts for [...]
