Buck & Bryant

One works hard on a shoot and then spends many hours trying to get a copy of the final ad for the tearsheet collection. But there is an alternative solution – an iPhone photo shot at a random gas station by a passersby.

I don’t shoot with athletes very often but enjoy it when I do, I truly admire their physical grace and frankly, envy their abilities. I am grateful for my creative gifts but if I could only bring some fraction of that innate talent to my street hockey game.
