My task: take three stand up paddle boards on vacation with the Bacon family and make a promo video. Sure no problem! These boards are sweet… So beyond the care, set-up, and filming with my DSLR, art direction was given to my model family.
I spent three years as a Co-owner of a kick-ass snowboard shop. We had a blast “keeping it real” All these Ads ran in Snowboard Magazine back in2008. I laid out these ads in Photoshop, using photos supplied from friends in the Industry. We kept it simple, showcase the brands we sold, and drive new…
A local Gym had a competitor who was the “only game in town” when it came to an online presence. I took care of that issue real quick with total integration to Google’s search algorithm. I also found the secret to getting them listed on a Siri search for “fitness gym in Springville, NY” The…
My local county executives asked if I could put together a video showcasing our regions attractions. “Learn Laugh Live and Play” was the tagline for this broadcast commercial that aired during a national golf event.

I moved to Park City late May 2020, and because of covid, Church with a mass of people was a no-no! I connected with Mountain Life Church my 1st week as a member of the body, but by week 2, I became the driver of their life stream production. It was great to find out…
This project started as a simple landing page website, but turned into a portfolio showcase. A Wordpress theme with a special Portfolio section was used to cursor through the various properties. A special map plug-in was used for the apartment locator.

The helmet camera market exploded in 2000, with GoPro coming out as the clear leader. I joined the UK based team of Drift Innovation, a camera company who looked to get a slice of that Billion dollar market. The Drift POV camera went beyond the normal application of a helmet camera.
Action Sports Photography at it’s Best My daughter was raised to ski before she could even talk. The local Holiday Valley Freestyle Team took notice of her and she joined their ski program. Bella was a natural in the moguls and fearless. So I spent years traveling to competitions with the other families. A typical…
Sex Good? That’s what most people saw when they looked at the 1st Version that was printed (pictured on the left.) The catch phrase was “Get Good” but the font chosen did look like SEX. Sex does sell, as these brochures flew off the racks. All that were printed were gobbled up. They chose to…
A video produced by Dave Waldron featuring myself and Kevin Lacy. Dave had a film school project to complete and our friend Kevin Lacy was in town. We met up in my snowboard shop and Dave and his crew got busy. As an old-school snowboarding veteran, I can get all misty and philosophical about the…
Non-Profit Ministry Website I love spreading the good news about Christ on the internet. So I jumped at the chance to redesign this local ministry website for Heritage Aflame.

This has been a fun project because when content is as beautiful as this, it’s a pleasure to work with. I started by teaching the pilot how to edit the RAW images in Lightroom. That lead to large format prints… and the rest is history.
Just a little mix I did for an “I Love NY” video contest back in 2006. At the time I was shooting a ton of footage for a Ski Resort, as well as a local tourism bureau. So with my sister in law Gwen Bush, I had her cut a voice over track that I…
Building a website for a non-profit organization doesn’t end with the initial build. Most non-profits are filled with department heads, committees, and many volunteers. So training the staff to use Wordpress as a Content Management System (CMS) is a big part of the picture. For this website in particular, we use Goto Meeting to collaborate…
Horse-Power Acres Moto-X Race 6-hour race on the track and in the woods. The goal for me was to get as much POV footage for MyPOV360.com as they supplied the cameras. Out of 5 cameras, we ended up losing one to a hard crash. What’s worse is that the memory card flew out and was…

For 18 years while I lived in this small town in Western New York, I volunteered to work with the Marketing Department, Training Center, and Ski School, in order to promote the Resort.
HD Editing for Drift Innovation These days a video editor can use a Walmart computer to edit HD content. The days of $60,000 editing suites are gone and personal computing is well in stride. So a nice break for me is to get sent a video clip or two of action from around the world.…
After attending Believers Chapel for a few years, I noticed that they were just using one camera to put the sermons online. So I recommended that we Live Stream their services. So little by little we added to the production, until the day came where we had to move into a new facility. Of course…
Nothing excites me more than to get a call from someone needing a “snowboarding model” as that hardly requires a thought in order to say yes. I’ve spent a lot of time on both sides of the camera lens. It also helps knowing what the art director or design person might be looking for in…
This website started on Squarespace but, after finding many shortcomings, I was able to build a scalable WordPress/Woo-commerce solution.

The simple but elegant one-page web design was driven from the need to have a mobile responsive website that required minimal steps to update. So I choose a Wordpress theme that allowed for a click and drag interface and a dialog box input system. No special coding knowledge was needed. Web Hosting WordPress Installation Theme…
Seasoned Photographers will say that , “Photoshop is to be used as a chisel, NOT a jackhammer” but in marketing I’d say, “if you can think it, I can do it. And if I cannot do it, I can fake it.”

Taking action shots of skiers who absolutely shred is a joy for me. It can be hard work, running all over the slope and sometimes in harsh weather. The fruit of all that effort is the still life freeze frame and some poetry in motion! This gallery is of my daughter Bella’s team Agenda Freeski. …
Full screen slide-show I was challenged to take a beautiful architectural design brochure and make a website showcase out of it.

This corporate website showcases all the services, client testimonials, case studies, and video examples that a large company like Digitell, Inc. can dish out. One of the fun challenges of content creation, is photography and image manipulation.
This artist wanted a simple webpage to showcase his music, so we started with a dynamic one page design.
