What you are about to watch is not just a VIDEO... It's a lifestyle. Justin went on a trip with a bunch of his friends aka "the mammoth men" a few months back. They are embarking on their next adventure on the 16th of November. This video is from that last trip. Enjoy!!!

Mammoth Men 3 Trailer from FRED EGAN on Vimeo.
In the early wintery months of 2008, eight celebrated, award-winning and downright awesome photographers from all over the country grabbed their snowboards to ride the mountains of Mammoth, California. This marked the beginning of what is now known as...wait for it...The Mammoth Men. What ensued during that getaway was a week filled with adventure, spontaneity, hijinks and storied tales. A bond was forged amongst these men and a commitment made to doing it again, and doing it often!
During the Summer of 2008, The Mammoth Men hit the road again. Only this time, they loaded up 10 photographers in a Prevost rock star tour bus, drove for five days up the California Coast and shared it with everyone via their traffic happy blog. So much so that their blog readers actually got to choose their day-to-day adventures while watching them play out the next day. The blog following continued even after the West coast trip ended and garnered media attention in the blogosphere.
Well, the guys are back for their much anticipated third installment of The Mammoth Men. Watch the mayhem unfold as these 12 photographers board their Prevost and head into the American Southwest to document their Route 66 road-trip. Packed with more guys, more miles and more camaraderie, it's not just a roadtrip...it's a lifestyle.

I can't begin to express how happy this makes me!!!
The last round, I was completely glued to my rss reader, eagerly awaiting the endless installments. Except it did end, at which point there seemed to be a void in my life!
My life will be fulfilled again.
Thank you Mammoth Men!

How does one fun-loving photog enter into the ranks of the mammoth men? Is there an application process? Maybe a hazing ritual or two? Im down in a second; just waiting for the call.

It was great working with Kelly + Mike on their engagement session and on their wedding day, especially after hearing how they had been following our work for quite some time (nearly two years!). Since we shot their engagement session so close to their wedding day I thought I would just combine the two together for this blog post. Introducing Kelly + Mike!
The engagement session...
...and the wedding day!
Mike pretending to be Frank Sinatra!
The first glance.
My favorite shot of the day!
The rings!
What a fabulous day! To see more photos click here for Kelly + Mike's slideshow!
Ps. Nicole DeAnne did an amazing job on Kelly's hair and make-up for the engagement session and is also responsible for Kelly's fabulous hair-do on the wedding day!

You don't need a rectal exam to know that i'm totally kidding and admiring your photographs. Oh I don't know...like how about the lens baby shot? You guys are freaks with this crap! LOVELOVELOVELOVELOVELOVE IT!!!

Just when I think you can't get more amazing, or the most unique angles, you blow it out of the water. I seriously have no idea how you come up with such new and never-before-seen angles, but I am CONSTANTLY impressed with your work and the never ending variety and creativity!!!

These are spectacular. WOW. I stalk you guys frequently and by far this is the best I've seen yet!! WOW! Every one has such a unique idea, not just an angle, but an complete thought. Beautiful. Your images leave so many delighted feelings for the viewer, ranging from happy, passionate, mystical, and just joyous. Bravo.
