Welcome to The Photo Gallery. These are a collection of shots taken while doing the crazy soundman thing.Check out Photo Gallery 2 for more photographs of the Blue Angels pilots, hydroplane races and military aircraft!
I was on a road trip in the spring of 1997. This was a very bad hair day. Or could it have been the intense New Mexico wind at this bluff. This bush made the coolest whispy wind sound. When is there not wind in New Mexico.? I was on my way to the UFO Museum in Roswell. Aliens are very difficult to record, they don't sit still and it's hard to schedule a recording session of a spacecraft pass by and crash with them. So I used Pro-Tools. I had to settle for wind sounds. No loss, they were perfect that sunny April afternoon!
I spent most of the summer in 1999 tearing down the west side porch and building the new audio studio. This was a beautiful day in May. I must have recorded over 300 individual wood cracks, breaks and creaks. The wood was very dry and when stressed it let out a extremely loud crack! I managed to break the crow bar. I was getting in shape, didn't even know my own strength.
Kentucky Cave recording
Recording a stream in Kentuky. It was a beautiful day in April, 1996. The stream came out of the mouth of a cave. I then ventured into the cavern and captured some wonderful contained water flows and trickles. Then it was off to a underground cave to record dripping water and ambience.
Recording rock slides in a North Idaho quarry with my brother Tom. I was extremely nervous about him being so close to the edge of the cliff, but he is very athletic and handled it well. Me, well I almost got the sense knocked out of me a couple of times. I should have brought my trusty old hard hat. As we moved to the right, the cliff got higher and the rocks got bigger. He must love danger. He did it all for the passion of sound effects recording. He was not compensated for his services. (It's a family thing...)
Hangin' with "Monster" at the Suffleton Steam Power Plant in Seattle. Here we are getting ready to fire up the turbine water pump that feeds the steam tanks. This pump moves 150 gallons of water per second up a huge pipe that's 75 feet long. When you shut the pump off, all the water backfills the pipe and slams into the close valve. The huge "clank" sound the water makes hitting the valve was worth enduring the puddles and dust. [Play Sound] [Play Sound-Modified]
