Curtes and Blotto

I was introduced to these top professionals working with the snowboard girls with SG Magazine and was a pleasure to work with them. Jeff cutes and Dean Blotto Gray and I went to dinner one time when we were in Aspen I think!!
I will have to double check. We were on a shoot and watchin the 2 of them work together was Insane like the link below describes.... Even being the 3rd shooter we all moved around and didnt burn anyone..
I love how Jeff describes how he learns and wants to improve on shots. They all aren't bangers........

thrilled.. here were the two of the bests... i wish i shot a photo of us at the table....

and everything Jeff explains i felt the same.. it was the most fun chill shoot i have even been involved in, and Productive..

So people just need to get put down for the good of all humanity........ Sorry, but now you know what I have been dealing with lately and YOUR court system supports Losers like this and Michael Riley....
Just warning you... We live at the sickest place on the beach and this is the drama these tweakers create.....

Tell u what! just go surf, i body surfed all the way to shore and it was EPIC!!!!
