Warren Miller's DYNASTY - Colorado Kayaking






Well - I was back in Colorado for one more piece of the Colorado Tourism segment in the new Warren Miller film - it's officially titled DYNASTY and we are now finished photographing it, now it's up to Kim "Kimbo or Kimbro" Schneider to make us all look good in the edit. He has roughly 15,000 feet of film to work with for the Colorado piece -that's about 7 hours for you of the digital era - in the film world - that is a ton of footage to work with, usually we shoot about 6,000 feet for a 6 to 10 minute segment in the film.

I joined two of my favorite athletes Max Mancini (who we shot with during the winter as well) and a friend I haven't shot with in a few years - Brad Ludden. These guys are total pro's and are always a pleasure to work with, what ever it takes to make a great shot - they are ready to make it happen - even after 14 hours of shooting, they still look at me and say "what's next?". They brought along another total professional Brooks Baldwin, we shot waterfall drops for 2 days near Crested Butte and Redstone, Colorado and had great weather - it's great in Colorado this time of year - it's so lush and green, rain every afternoon and sunny all day. Max's gal Jenny Schumacher shot these photos - thanks Jenny.

As I said - Max and Brad are total pros - but I mean both in the water/snow or in life, these guys use their lives and experiences to better and inspire others everyday - they both have HUGE hearts and run great non-profit programs that are changing lives every minute.

Thanks for your time - I'll check in from my next shoot in a week or so.
