Lightning in a Bottle

Celebrating the holiday with memories from my favorite Memorial Day Weekend event, Lightning in a Bottle.

A Super Best Friends Wedding!
One of my highlights of Lightning in a Bottle last year was shooting the sunset celebration of love between and . The whole squad rallied around them for a jubilant procession from camp down to the lake pier, facilitated a gorgeous environment, .leak officiated with heartfelt words, the ceremony was beautiful and the bride and groom's vows plucked everyone's heartstrings. My favorite wedding I've shot yet.

Happy anniversary Kiana and Jacob!

It generally takes years to earn official member status in this crew - and this magnificent collection of characters is an unstoppable force of righteous adventurers. Always grateful for the fantastic times I get to share with them.

The Blair and the Bear
Happy birthday to my favorite rodeo clown, ! Miss you cowgirl. May we romp across the horizon and stir up shenanigans again soon

Fanning the Flames of Flow State Joy

Last year at Lightning in a Bottle I recognized .wind.princess twirling an LED hoop in the dark, from when I captured her with silk fans on the beach 3 years prior (pictures 6-9). So we scheduled a photo shoot a couple days later embodying her professional side, her lover side and her sexy-carefree-dancing spirit.

But I'm a sucker for a sequel photo shoot, and we managed to link up again at the tail end of sunset for a wonderful reprise with the rainbow fans. The hallucinatory feel of the 2022 shots always made them special to me, yet the dreamy happiness of the 2025 shots pops with much more vivid emotion that really encapsulate her mood and how this reunion actually felt.

Leaving this galaxy - entering the far-off future cyberpunk universe of Neotropolis. To my friends going, find me late night in Megablock One for the best version of festival laser tag 😎 🔫

I saw the Speed Racer 4k remaster in imax this week and it was both like my cinematic Holy Grail and a religious experience for me. My body was literally vibrating by the end and I was overcome with visceral emotion and phantasmagoric sensory overload - particularly during the final race this article focuses on. So here's your reminder that the Speed Racer movie is a kinetic masterpiece unlike anything else, and if you love the visual style of my photography, you will be blown away by this insane film.

The Reality-Breaking Joy of Speed Racer’s Final Race On the glorious abstraction of Speed Racer’s CGI climax, a sequence that plays boldly with the very idea of filmed spectacle.

Bounty hunters, tech-freaks, augmented cyborgs, interstellar rogues and beyond - my favorite festival Neotropolis is less than two weeks away! Can't wait to return to the outer-rim adventures and galactic character convergence point of Keplar 609-C 🌌 By my measurements this /sci-fi immersive gathering is the coolest festival in the universe.
