Winter Is Here

Finally after suffering through the long very hot summer it seems winter has landed in the mountains near Vegas. Over the past couple of days they received about 6" of the white stuff and for us it only meant one thing, play time along the Bristolcone Trail. Couple years back we shot mountain biking for this book and it covers the Bristolcone Trail, perfect for mountain biking and hiking in the summer and snow shoeing in the winter, get out and enjoy........

P.S. we picked up a stack of trash so remember to pick up after yourself........

Jared & Trish McMillen/TYB Photography

Lots and lots of things have been happening, some small and some really big, lots of really exciting stuff, not to mention the big stuff your face day is coming. Tonight my partner in crime and lovely wife Trish took a pic of me for some exciting news we'll share in a day or so.

FCM

One super rad company and three really motivated women with an awesome leader and you have Forte Creative Media, we spent a couple hours today working with FCM to photograph some ideas Stephanie Forte had for the Holidays and some marketing for her company. Over the past year we have worked with Stephanie and her company on several different shoots, Steph is not only a really good and smart business women but a very well respected climber, the two previous times we photographed Steph were for U.S. News and World Report and National Geographic Adventure. We wish FCM all the best and thanks for thinking us us on so many occasions........ Little behind the scenes from today......

Bad Ass mouth Guard

This is one really bad ass mouth guard, and this was the main reason we shot Wonderlei Silva last week. The mouth guard is totally state of the art, and is leagues above others with a really amazing concept behind the design, to put it mildly I was blown away by the concept and how it will benefit all athletes.......

Jump into the weekend

Long week, spent two solid days in front of the computer while Trish was busting out the home front, looking forward to the weekend. Lazy weekend in store with lots of goof off time, maybe a little hiking, and doggy lovin'.....

Computer Time

Stuck smack dab in front of the ole trusty Mac busting out a little photoshop love on our recent shoot with Wanderlay "The Axe Man" Silva, think I'm seeing double vision from hours and hours of computer time..... Time to stop and grab a cool one and get back at it tomorrow, full post coming soon......

5 Days in a ROW

Today marked 5 days in a row of shooting, that only means one thing lots and lots of staring at the ole computer screen. This has been the busiest two weeks we have ever seen in the history of TYB, o.k. I kinda take that back, we're not under tight super tight deadlines but damn we're busy. More and more I have been sucked into the depths of the studio, playing with lights, dreaming up concepts, and trying to sell our clients on new and fresh ideas, some of it has been working, just wait......... One out take from today.....

TYB meets the UFC

Tonight we wrapped a really fun shoot for a client that pretty much knocked our socks off with their product, we have shot a lot of products that we thought were so so, tonight was a very different story. Long story short we were blown away, lots more to come, but for now just a quickie.........

Tasks

Been trying to sort through a bunch of older images that will hopefully make it into our stock collection, this is no easy task nor a task I really want to do. Over the past several months I have gone through so many images it is almost crazy to think about, many of the images were shot on assignment when I freelanced for daily's. One of the coolest assignments I ended up doing was covering the Beatles Love show here in Vegas, if you've seen it WOW, if not it is a must see show in vegas, loved it.... Anyway we have been prepping for a studio shoot on Friday which should be pretty cool, no details yet, but I'll share the goods next week......

New US LEADER

Looks like it's final, we have a new leader, hip, hip, about time! Aurora Photos our new stock agency started a special project for this election "Election Reaction Project" and wanted their photographers to try create images about the feeling and emotion on election day. Well, I could of went out and played the game of photojournalist and stocked the poll lines, could of found a group of folks around a bar staring at a t.v., or I could just shoot a picture that sums up the way I feel. So here you have it....... Congrats to the new leader, change is good.........

For the BIRDS

Thought this was a pretty interesting picture, captured in the middle of no where (Mojave Desert) on our way back from Napa. The next couple of week are gong to be slammed, working on a couple projects and will share the results once they are finished....

Home Again

Over the past week we were out of the office, we had a bunch of stuff going on, lots of shooting and catching up on life. We drove from Vegas to Yosemite, Napa, San Fran, to Sequoia and Kings National Park then back to Vegas. We're jumping back in the saddle this week with a bunch of exciting and fun shoots coming up......
