Got wheels? Let’s go.
It was day #14 or 15 (?) on the road with a Porsche production. From Los Angeles -> Joshua Tree-> Sequoia National Park-> San Francisoco-> Monterrey-> Big SUR, and back.
This is a #latergram “in the home stretch” snap by the lovely @jeanninecorbo. 🖤 #loveyourjob #loveyourlife

It’s almost the same as going to Soul Cycle, right??

Throwback ... if you know, you know. Sometimes, you’ve been living on 3 hours of sleep for 10+ days, and you just need to lie down and lie still for a few minutes. Plus, physiological studies show that lying down even for 5 minutes in the middle of the day, awake or asleep, can give you a boost of energy and reset your system. The point is, Take what you can get, where you can get it. 😂 plus, the sidewalks and streets of Los Angeles are filthy, so use a table to protect against unwanted disease 🤪

MAIL CALL!!

I 🖤 getting mail. Real, stamped envelopes, and real paper in the mail. And this — a special delivery of this badass print, shot by the immensely talented @davidmaurerphotographer —completely made my day.
.
.
I’ve always said, the best part of my job is the people. Getting to meet, work alongside, and bonus, become friends with, creative, intelligent, talented, and all around RAD humans, is mega.
.

Thank you @davidmaurerphotographer for being one of these people, fantastic in so many ways. And thank you for this print!!

Mountain Roads, adjacent to water? Check. Went back through some of our Moutan Locations last week, and found these beauties.

More from our latest jaunt through this lovely city 🤗
Found a new location gem 💎.
PART I :: THE LOCATION
.
.
In the early stages of discussing this job, we were tasked with making a recommendation on where in the world to shoot. The photographer and I collaborated to assemble ideas on logistics, and of course, double check our recommendations to ensure it all could be done within a reasonable budget and timeline. One of the outlier locations in this search, was the following: An architecturally significant building, which either 1. Already was an indoor climbing gym, with glass walls allowing the viewer outside to watch climbers inside (does it exist!? Perhaps, in Singapore) OR 2. Offered both of the iconic components needed (climbing gym, AND a compelling architectural design), to assemble the shots in post-production.
.
.
After days of scouring the internet, and checking availabilities - would such a structure allow us to use, and manipulate, their design in our campaign for a reasonable price - we found this. The Dali Museum, in St. Petersburg Florida. It was close-ish to Miami, which allowed us the opportunity to easily drive here (4 hours away), while minimizing the amount of production time lost in transit, and group it with other shots and locations in Miami.
.
.
So, on an early fall morning, around 4am, we arrived outside the museum to shoot the first piece of the puzzle.
.
.
Oh, and fun fact. The Dali Museum, here in St. Pete’s, has the largest collection of original Dali pieces, outside of the original museum, in Figures Spain. And yes, when we had wrapped for the day, we were invited to take a quick spin through the museum and experience the brilliance of Salvador Dali. Another “love your job” moment, for sure. If you ever find yourself in Tampa or St. Pete’s, do not miss this experience!
PART II :: BEHIND THE SCENES / LOCATION 2
.
.
For this shot, we needed to create a location with an indoor climbing wall, visible through the exterior walls. Oh, and it had to look like a place where affluent thrill seekers (those who drive luxury sports cars, would naturally congregate). No big deal.
.
.
Since we settled on The Dali Museum, in St. Pete’s, as the exterior location, we just needed a climbing wall, and few climbers to let us shoot them in action.
We were already in Florida, and fortunate to get an OK from the ONLY indoor climbing gym in South Florida. Thanks to @locasouth for the scout, finding the location, and for letting her son Mac work with us (belaying here). And Angie, the manager of the gym, also a skilled climber, was kind enough to hang on the wall for 5 minutes while we got the shot. And if you know anything about climbing, you know that maintaining a pose, while gripping only a small plastic hold, while on an overhanging wall, for FIVE MINUTES, is not an easy feat. She came down pumped and exhausted, but enthusiastic none the less.

Here you have it. If you missed the backstory of this image creation, check out the previous two posts to catch up.

This is the final shot. A combination of The Dali Museum exterior and an indoor climbing gym, behind the glass. C’mon, who would not want to get in a few burns here on crappy weather days or after work?? I would absolutely climb here.

Fun fact: the Dallas Skyline has more NEON lights than any other city in the country. (I’m assuming Vegas is some sort of special outlier in this category, and was not considered, but ... ). If you need colorful nighttime scenes with multicolored bright lights, Dallas is the place to go!
.
.
And in full disclosure, one of these location squares is not in Dallas. Bonus points and 👊🏻’s for anyone who can guess which one it is. 🤫

PART I: THE LOCATION
The one and only bridge in Hite, Utah. We found it. It wasn’t easy to get to, but success awaits those who are committed to putting in the extra effort, and in our case, going the extra distance (hours and hours from civilization). Oh, and those willing to fork over a very very expensive Highway Patrol paycheck. 😬😉🤷♂️

PART II: BEHIND THE SCENES
Fun fact(s), when you’re shooting in AZ:
the chances of the the DOT chief stopping at your location to check your permit, your Traffic Control Plan (TCP), your road signs, and the distance between each sign as required by the TCP (the spacing depends upon speed limits) == 75%.
The chances of he or she being friendly, appreciative, and excited when realizing your safety protocol matches their requirements ==
PART III: FINAL IMAGE
Porsche 911 shot by @stephan_romer. After a 5 day tech scout (2000 miles), we solidified our locations and landed in Hanksville Utah, for our first night as a full team. We celebrated the beginning of the next 16 days of shooting with a parking lot/lift gate/gas station beer, collective cheers.
As this bridge was in Hite, about an hour south of Hanksville, and any town for that matter, the only option for lodging was the Whispering Sands Motel. AKA the BATES MOTEL (a la Psycho). Perhaps haunted, or just possessing a novel middle-of-nowhere, alarmingly quiet feeling, we went to sleep reminiscing about our memories of horror films, with shared unspoken hopes to sleep through the night without nightmares or visits from ghosts.
We did. We all made it out, alive and in good spirits, for our first 4am call time at this incredible location.

PART I: THE LOCATION
The challenge with shooting remote and “unseen” locations is the fact that they are REMOTE. Add in summer daylight savings, and the reality that you’re shooting from 4am until 10pm. And when traveling across the Southwest, distances expand, travel times increase, and in the midst of three weeks on the road, eating flavorful and healthy meals becomes impossible.
The solution? You bring @cristina_sarnoff, a Motorhome, a BBQ, and you’ll be eating home cooked, lantern-lit, meals every night in places like this. Can we have your best table?? Yes, yes we can. @ Tuba City, Arizona
PART II: BEHIND THE SCENES
Automotive location photography 101. The challenge? We were shooting outside of Tuba City, AZ, within the small rectangle of AZ that does not follow daylight savings time. In our hotel, we were on mountain standard time. Across the street, they were on Pacific Standard time. If the sun rises at 5AM, is that 5am PST / 6am MST!? Or 5am MST and 4am PST!? And what time do we wake up to make sure not to miss it!?
Solution: our team decided to stay on PST, regardless of what the clocks in the hotel were saying. Feeling like superheroes or sci-fi characters, getting to exist within our own time zone. #timetravellers
