<\/a>Andy MacDonald<\/h4><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\nI became interested in photography largely through my love of BMX bicycling. I would study the photos in the magazines, noticing the details, making mental note. I had no formal training, just a lot of experimentation, trial, and error. In retrospect, some formal study would have been useful. I imagine it might have shifted my focus a little bit, encouraged me to consider different aspects of the process that I did not pay attention to on my own. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
After a few years working in the BMX industry I was hired by Woodward Camp, a summer training resort for gymnastics, BMX, Skateboarding, and Inline Skating. I was their “Art Guy,” tasked with documenting any professional visitors, camp life in general, and producing all of the marketing materials: brochures, magazine advertisements, website, promotional goods, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Working for Woodward expanded and honed my sensibilities, and pushed my creativity in new directions. I needed to coordinate with professional athletes and coaches, as well as young campers, to produce engaging imagery that engendered a sense of both professionalism and fun. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I still shoot action photos sometimes, when the mood strikes. Scroll on to see some of my favorites.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

An experimentation in blur. I’m often experimenting when I take photos. This is one of the times that it came out much as I had imagined. I wanted the photo to capture a sense of motion. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/a>Neal Hendrix<\/h4><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\nNeal liked taking photos, which is somewhat rare in the Action Sports world. He would often ask me to photograph him, and was interested in taking time to work on different angles\/ideas. I enjoy the criss-crossing lines, selective light, and his choice of a red t-shirt.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n\n<\/a>Ever Peacock<\/h4><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\nThis is a relatively recent photo of my sort-a-step-son. He too got bitten by the bike bug and has grown into a very talented and stylish rider.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n\n<\/a>Jamie Bestwick<\/h4><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\nThis is during a weekly camp demo when visiting professional riders and skaters would put on a show for the campers. I like the documentary style of this photo. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n\n<\/a>Pro Main<\/h4><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\nI did not shoot a lot of BMX racing, but there was some. I like this photo because of it’s classic head-on directness, plus it has one of my favorite riders in it. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n\n<\/a>Rob Tibbs<\/h4><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\nThis photo is significant not for the strength of the photo per se, but because I built that giant pile of rubbish that he is riding on. This was during my time working for FBM bicycle company, a small BMX bicycle brand and manufacturer based in Binghamton, NY. The brand’s image was raw, D.I.Y., core\u2014riders making bikes for other riders. I built this ramp for a competition we put on called the “Ghetto Street Comp.” This photo appeared as the opening spread for a story highlighting the event in a BMX magazine.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n\n<\/a>Craig Kleckner<\/h4><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\nThe bird’s-eye view. I think I climbed in a tree for this photo. One of my favorite places to ride during that time, and Craig was always a pleasure to ride with. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n\n<\/a>Corey Nastazio<\/h4><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\nNormally I want to see where the jump or ramp is for a reference. Otherwise it looks like the person is just floating around in space. In this photo I sort of like the that you can’t see the jump. There’s enough information there to put a story together. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n\n<\/a>Jud Heald<\/h4><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\nJud is a very devout Christian, a great skateboarder, and a nice human. I like this photo for a number of reasons, but I think I mainly like that Jud is back lit and sort of in the shape of a cross. Knowing Jud makes that stand out to me. I didn’t plan the photo that way. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n\n<\/a>Allen Russel<\/h4><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\nPretty classic skate shot. Not bad for a BMX’er. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n\n<\/a>Climbers<\/h4><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\nI took this for Woodward Camp promotions a long time ago. I think someone complained that it looked like a kid fell off of the wall, which is one of the things I really like about the photo. I remember that it wasn’t easy to get into this position.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
The bird’s-eye view. I think I climbed in a tree for this photo. One of my favorite places to ride during that time, and Craig was always a pleasure to ride with. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/a>Mountains<\/h4><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\nOn mountains and bicycles… <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n\n<\/a>Corey Nastazio<\/h4><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\nNormally I want to see where the jump or ramp is for a reference. Otherwise it looks like the person is just floating around in space. In this photo I sort of like the that you can’t see the jump. There’s enough information there to put a story together. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n\n<\/a>Jud Heald<\/h4><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\nJud is a very devout Christian, a great skateboarder, and a nice human. I like this photo for a number of reasons, but I think I mainly like that Jud is back lit and sort of in the shape of a cross. Knowing Jud makes that stand out to me. I didn’t plan the photo that way. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n\n<\/a>Allen Russel<\/h4><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\nPretty classic skate shot. Not bad for a BMX’er. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
