Just got back from the AdFed District 8 ADDYs. Jason Alley of Message and I knew the BHA campaign would be getting a couple of awards but we had no Idea the Black Hills Ammunition campaign would be taking the awards it did plus Best of Show. I will update with the confirmed list of awards later but I am holding gold for the BHA photo series in my hand. Stoked!

Fall Colors in Spearfish Canyon
Posted by - November 12, 2010
Got to spend an early October morning in Spearfish Canyon, South Dakota, photographing the fall colors. Was going to spend a day or two but the cell phone rang and a paying job was offered. So back in to Gus I climbed and hit the road.
Should be getting a few more up soon and some of Harney Peak from the previous day.
