  • Red Bull Illume Image Quest 2013

    Red Bull Illume Image Quest 2013

    Just wanted to post a quick note to share our excitement and pride at one of Scott’s images being chosen as one of the top 50 images in Red Bull’s Illume Image Quest 2013. This contest hasn’t happened since 2010 and the caliber of photographers and athletes featured is staggering.

    Aerial view of stand up paddlesurfing the Turnagain Arm boretide in Cook Inlet, Alaska. Eric Newberry, Dave Calkins, and Mike McCune rode the wave caused by the incoming tide for up to five miles on their standup paddleboards.

    This photo was the result of Scott’s passion for surfing, aerial perspectives and pioneering surf in Alaska coming together on a magically beautiful morning to be photographing from his paramotor. (more…)

  • Aerial photography in Alaska, May 21st

    Aerial photo of a school bus on the Homer Spit, Homer, Alaska.

    This post contains a selection of interesting photos from a recent aerial photoshoot from my powered paraglider (paramotor). I launched in the morning from the Homer Spit in Homer, Alaska and flew across Kachemak Bay for about 45 minutes of flying around the mountains before returning to the spit. A fellow paramotorer, Bruce Petska, joined me on the morning flight and now you can take a little visual tour yourself. Enjoy.

  • Paramotoring with eagles in Alaska

    Aerial photo of eagle in flight from a paramotor in Homer, Alaska.

    The sun setting over the volcanoes of the Aleutian Range lighting the Kenai Mountains in purple and gold. Just the bald eagles and I slipping silently back and forth 2,000 feet above the edge of Kachemak Bay.

    The fireweed bloom in Alaska is a sight to behold. Last fall I made some aerial photographs in the hills behind Homer from my paramotor on a gorgeous evening.
