Will Bruce has worked with me a few times before- he rides BMX and I've done both a video profile and a normal portrait of him.
While working on the launch issue of Vertical Floor, a parkour/freerunning magazine, I had the opportunity to conceptualize a photo for an article on the Leave No Trace movement- a group of traceurs who are committed to protecting the environment. The group and clean-up photos submitted by chapters of the group didn't spark the interest of the creative team, so I was brought in. The assignment called for a photo representing the cause while showing motion.
I pitched a light-painted "ghost" with a portrait on one side. My idea was originally meant to be in an urban environment from a high angle. Creative decided that they wanted it to be in a green space to represent nature. I set a shooting schedule, scouted a location, and got in touch with Will, who I thought would work as the ghost.
Creative met me at the location about halfway into setup. A few test shots, and we were working. The shooting took about an hour. I used a 10-second exposure, lighting Will with a flashlight while he walked. At around 9 seconds, I used a cybersync to trigger an Einstein aimed toward Will's finishing mark. I used a gridded medium softbox feathered up to underexpose his legs.
In case anyone is wondering, this is a composite of four images and took slightly more than five hours to finish in Photoshop. I did it in-camera as well, just to make sure I could, but creative wanted a composite :)

Verbier is a ski resort in the Swiss Alps, in the canton of Valais. It is part of the "Four Valleys" ski area, which includes the ski resorts of Verbier, Nendaz, Veysonnaz, La Tzoumaz, and Thyon. Verbier is recognized as one of the premiere "off-piste" resorts worldwide. Many top skiers have settled in the resort in order to take advantage of the steep slopes, varied conditions and vibrant nightlife. Verbier is also a popular holiday destination for celebrities, including Sarah Ferguson, Diana Ross, James Blunt and The Crown Prince Couple of Denmark: Frederik and Mary.
Verbier is located in the Val de Bagnes, in the Valais region of Switzerland. The resort lies on a south orientated terrace at around 1,500 metres facing the Grand Combin massif.
Verbier only has one access road, which starts in the town of Le Châble.
The Grand Combin is a mountain in the western Pennine Alps in Switzerland. With its 4,314 metres (14,154 ft) high summit it is one of the highest peaks in the Alps and the second most prominent of its range.
The Grand Combin is also a large glaciated massif consisting of several summits, among which three are above 4000 metres.
As we were skiing in the woods, I noticed there were these fun looking traces right under the power lines. Probably caused by dropped snow.

Ficus aurea Nuttall, 1846 - Florida strangler fig in Florida, USA. (March 2014)
Plants are multicellular, photosynthesizing eucaryotes. Most species occupy terrestrial environments, but they also occur in freshwater and saltwater aquatic environments. The oldest known land plants in the fossil record are Ordovician to Silurian. Land plant body fossils are known in Silurian sedimentary rocks - they are small and simple plants (e.g., Cooksonia). Fossil root traces in paleosol horizons are known in the Ordovician. During the Devonian, the first trees and forests appeared. Earth's initial forestation event occurred during the Middle to Late Paleozoic. Earth's continents have been partly to mostly covered with forests ever since the Late Devonian. Occasional mass extinction events temporarily removed much of Earth's plant ecosystems - this occurred at the Permian-Triassic boundary (251 million years ago) and the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary (65 million years ago).
The most conspicuous group of living plants is the angiosperms, the flowering plants. They first unambiguously appeared in the fossil record during the Cretaceous. They quickly dominated Earth's terrestrial ecosystems, and have dominated ever since. This domination was due to the evolutionary success of flowers, which are structures that greatly aid angiosperm reproduction.
Strangler figs are some of the most bizarre plants on Earth. They are pollinated by fig wasps (gall wasps) and seeds from ripe figs are transported in the guts of frugivores/fruit-eaters (often birds). Seeds in bird droppings that are left in other trees, usually Sabal palmetto - cabbage palm trees - germinate under proper conditions and become epiphytes. Long, slender branches extend downward from strangler fig epiphytes and eventually reach the ground. Strangler figs use nutrients from the soil to grow further and wrap themselves around the host tree, eventually shading it out and killing it. Ficus aurea is native to Florida.
Classification: Plantae, Angiospermophyta, Rosales, Moraceae
Locality: grounds of Sandpiper Inn, Donax Street, Sanibel Island, southwestern Florida, USA

To be honest, winter is over.
Only a few traces of leftover snowdrifts to be found in the landscape by now.
But I so loved the snow, ice & cold. So bear with me for a few more pics.
The unsafe outside stairway is gone from the Greenbaum building in Waverly, Ohio, but traces of old ads remain.
I've tried to figure out what it once said, but the only thing I know for sure is the one word "you". I've tried various enhancements with no luck This version is one I tone mapped with Photomatix. The picture is some kind of soft drink bottle.
Maybe someone will recognize it or remember the ad before it faded.
Thw doors at the bottom are left from when the building was a canal warehouse. The Ohio Erie Canal ran past it.
This is a photo of a window at Olvera Street . My paternal grandfather grew up around Olvera Street. His birth family's roots and most of his ancestors lived in Spanish Californina.
This is Trace Adkins parent's home in a small town just a few miles from my home. You can see his bus at the far end of the house. The photo is not very good because I was driving and shot it through the passenger's window, but thought some might find it interesting.
Ever wondered where all your IP packets are going when you look up a website? No, probably not! However, it can still be interesting to find out!
www.yougetsignal.com is an interesting tool that does a tracert, looks up geo coordinates and maps them on a google map for you.
It feels kind of odd to me, to discover that a lookup between London and York quickly jumps over to Los Angeles and Montréal! To travel the distance by land would be over 11,000 miles!
Enfin la première neige de l'hiver est arrivée en ce vendredi soir 15 janvier 2016. Comme à chaque fois, la magie opère. Un nouveau décor apparaît. Et l'homme ou ses machines dessinent des nouvelles traces sur la neige.
