Just in case anyone actually reads my Tumblr, I’m sorry for the pause in posting recently. I’ve just moved homes (yet again!) and work in Iowa is picking up more than I anticipated.

On that same note, check out these random BTS shots from a VERY cool recent editorial shoot in rural, straight-road Nebraska. It was so tiring even the dogs were sacked. I’ll have more on that shoot in the future.

Thanks to fine assistant Patrick Geske for the shot of me. (If you’re ever in need of someone in the Omaha region - look the guy up. He’s great.

 What inspired this series?
“Well, it’s an idea that’s been bubbling below the surface for a while, and that I’ve only recently started finding the time to start. I think some of the big infrastructure stories—Katrina, I-35 bridge collapse, more recently Sandy—sort of jolted me into looking more deeply into the infrastructure problems facing this country. When I started digging a bit, I began finding all these little issues that added up to a huge problem. And like a lot of things in this country, when tragedy strikes, we mourn, rebuild and we go back to not worrying about the underlying problems.” - Ryan Donnell

Here’s a little interview about my nascent project on American infrastructure courtesy of the fine folks @wonderflmachine. Thanks Maria!

For the past six years, with variable attendance, my buddies and I have gone camping in the dead of winter.

We pick a remote site, cook amazing meals (think roasted suckling pig), drink fantastic cocktails and, mostly, just bullshit next to the fire until our skin is smoked and we collapse into a boozy sleep. This year was our largest group to date and it had special meaning for me since I was returning to the East Coast for the first time since we moved to Iowa.

And if you’re wondering why we camp in winter - just think about swarming bugs and sweating inside a hot ass tent.

Thanks guys for a great trip. I can’t wait until next year.
