I was a bit terrified that I might experience some sort of withdrawal from beach, watermelon and bottle rockets if I were forced to spend it in the sweltering, sticky concrete that is NYC summer. My buddy Greg, a fellow UVM grad with [...]

A friend of mine over at ESPN hooked me up with a great gig shooting behind-the-scenes video at the two-day shoot [...]
