This past year has been really exciting. We shot assignments in a half dozen different countries on four continents. And even managed to squeeze in a few good adventures in the mountains of Alaska, our home base. While we do love to travel and are fortunate to see a lot of the world, working on the road does have it’s challenges (like trying to move a couple hundred pounds of gear through a crowded Tokyo train station). It’s good to reflect back on the year and we find that it’s the single moments, the small stories that keep us going just as much as producing our best work. Here’s some of our favorite ‘good times’ from 2013. Enjoy and we wish you the best in the new year.
Cheers!
