Self Portrait for Phoot Camp 2014

I’m so grateful to be going back to Phoot Camp this year. I’ll be heading to Joshua Tree to be reunited with friends new and old, and I can’t wait to see what photographic goodness we can create.   This was my self portrait application which I couldn’t have done without the help of some good friends.  The idea behind the photo was to accompany my written application, which talked about giving without expectation and referenced a time when fellow Phooter, Ryan Schude stood under an icy cold waterfall, shivering while I took long exposures, all the while saying “I can do another one, I can do another one.”  I wanted to tell the story of trying something over and over in order to make something great. See it larger, here.

I’ve also put together a short video of how I did all the jumps. At one stage I was attempting it with a crutch! Not a safe idea… well the whole thing wasn’t very safe.

You can see some photos from some other Phoot Camps that I’ve attended, here.
