A shot of the location.

We used suction cups and c-arms to rig the spinning tire shot.

We played with shooting on a Go Pro camera from a remote control car and helicopter. Here are some of those outtakes.

Wine Stains for Pop Up magazine

This was my presentation for Pop Up Magazine’s Wine issue at SFMOMA.

I love wine, photography, and statistics.
This is a valueless look at my consumption and beyond.

2. That’s how many glasses of wine I used to prep for getting on stage tonight

20. Number of glasses of wine I consume in an average month.

Takes only 2.5 months for me to equal the average American’s annual wine consumption of 56. However…

My annual consumption of 192 glasses falls well short of:

533. The average annual consumption of a citizen of Vatican City.

Not so in state of Utah where it takes an average citizen 40 years to drink 4 years worth of Vatican City wine.

4,800. The number of glasses of wine I will drink over the next 20 years. Twice as much as Utah, in ½ the time.

15,840. The approximate number of glasses I still have the opportunity to enjoy before I die.

46,720. An adult lifetime’s worth of consumption based on recent health agency recommendations. Good news is that I’m lagging a bit…

If I drink one more glass of wine tonight, keep that pace for the rest of my life and throw in my wife’s consumption, we might well reach 200,000 glasses of wine over our lifetimes.

If I throw my parents and in-laws in, we just might surpass 500,000 glasses between the 6 of us…it takes India, a country of almost 1.2 billion people a full 5 hours to reach that mark.

Interestingly enough, India’s 1.2 billion citizens’ daily consumption closely approximates the volume of wine produced in the same time period by the Napa Valley region: 1,814,794 million glasses of wine a day.

Napa Valley’s production goes a long way to help supply San Francisco’s need for 72,800,000 glasses of wine annually.

Although massive, Napa’s production puts considerably less of a dent in the world’s annual consumption of 209.6 billion glasses of wine per year.

Cheers!

Douglas McGray, the editor in chief of Pop Up Magazine.

Here I am, public speaking.

Our Choice

I was approached by Mike Matas to shoot the trailer for the Our Choice App. This app is the sequel to Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth. It is an amazing interactive app created by Push Pop Press. I enjoyed meeting Al Gore and was inspired by his commitment and his depth of knowledge….even down to my home state of Colorado’s battle with the mountain pine beetle. We were honored to be a part of creating a trailer that we hope will encourage many to check out Our Choice.

A peek into our top secret carpet setup.

Our new studio mates were very curious. Brooke (my studio manager) insisted that they all find loving homes and through Craigslist, she did just that.
