AMGEN Tour of California – Palomar Mountain CA

My parents, sister and her husband all live on Palomar Mountain, and when they heard that the mountain would be hosting the last 96.8 miles of the AMGEN race for the first year, it was an opportunity and experience I couldn’t miss. The bikers had to race up the gut-busting snow caped mountain reaching a 5,123 foot elevation with 21 switchbacks, and I was shocked at the speed they maintained near the top. Lance Armstrong returned to race and his teammate Levi Leipheimer who won his third straight Tour of California. I had fun documenting the festivities before the bikers came up and I (along with hundreds of others) was thoroughly entertained by some of the characters present. People camped out the night before, pitching tents and staking out spots with chairs and trailers along the side of the narrow road. We had a blast!

Our mountaintop entertainment!

This group of guys was hillarious, they covered their hands in yellow chalk, targeting bikers buns as they struggled to the top.

Along with this officer, the next guy got it good!

Hundreds of people tried to run next to the bikers, but these two were unforgettable.

We could see the bikers below on the switchbacks!

Lance is on the right! He finished 7th in the race overall.

Thanks to the Stephenson’s for letting us share their reserved spot!

Bryan Clay – Olympic Gold Medalist – Decathlon

I’ve been more than excited about this post for some time now, and I am so honored for the privilege to have worked with Bryan Clay just before he left for Beijing where he won the gold medal for Decathlon. We did a promotional piece for an editorial spread, and then Azusa Pacific University wanted to do a billboard for Bryan (Bryan is an ‘03 Alumnus). Then just after winning the gold they updated the billboard, and added a few more locations, so you can now see 3 of these billboards on the 210 East near Irwindale, the 605 North near the 10 connector, and the last one is at The Block at Orange. These are a few more of the other photos that we took for the editorial piece. Bryan is a phenomenal athlete, and it was quite amazing to photograph him in action. (He’s actually doing his training routine for these pics). You can see more of our photos in last weeks edition of USA TODAY. Congratulations Bryan! We’re proud of you.

Charlie!

If there was one way to describe Charlie it would be – “this guy knows how to have fun! “. We did an editorial shoot in our studio a few months back, and Charlie was so much fun to work with because he just rolled with everything! I think we’re going to have to get Charlie back out here for another round!
