BEAR GRYLLS - PANAMA JUNGLE, PANAMA

"YEARS AGO, I GOT A call from the Discovery Channel. They asked if I wanted to go to Panama and shoot with Bear Grylls, the star of a television show called Man vs. Wild. Going to a Panamanian jungle to do a photo shoot with some guy named Bear sounded cool to me, so I said yes, of course. . . ."

70–200MM LENS / F/4 / 1/250 SECOND / ISO 200

KELLY SLATER & JACK JOHNSON

"WHEN I WAS IN COLLEGE, I got an assignment to shoot a magazine cover and story featuring Jack Johnson, Kelly Slater, and Ben Harper. I knew of Ben Harper and liked his music. Jack Johnson was still an up-and-coming artist, and I’m not sure if I had even heard one of his tracks at that point. The only thing I knew about Kelly Slater, beyond the fact that he was a badass surfer, was that he had just broken up with Pamela Anderson. . . ."

24–70MM LENS / F/5.6 / 1/250 SECOND

CHRIS SHARMA - SANTA CRUZ, CALIFORNIA

"I PARKED IN FRONT OF a modest home in Santa Cruz, California, where a teen-age Chris Sharma lived. I double-checked to make sure I had the right location and smiled. Of course the world’s best rock climber would live at street number 514. . . ."

70–200MM F/2.8 LENS / F/4 / 1/1000 SECOND / FUJI VELVIA FILM

MIKEY WIER - HEAVENLY MOUNTAIN RESORT, LAKE TAHOE, CALIFORNIA

"EVER SINCE ADOBE PHOTOSHOP 1.0 came to market in 1990—and to a lesser extent, before then as well—photographers have struggled to find their footing on the slippery slope that is editing, processing, and altering their pictures. We make these changes not only to improve image quality but sometimes also to compensate for shortcomings experienced in the field. . . ."
