According to the metadata on these photos, it was in 2011 (13 years ago!) when Jeff Stockwell sent in a batch of Erik Bailey photos and blew us away. We knew our buddy Jeff was great at just about everything he picked up, and it turned out photography was another of those skills for which he had a preternatural talent. All that time surrounded by working shooters like Konoske, B Smith, and others had really paid off, because with his first batch of contributions Jeff landed a photo on the cover. To be fair, he was shooting with Erik Bailey — which meant that Erik was doing a whole lot of the hard work while filming for what may have been “Valo 4 Life.” With so much traveling for the video taking place, Erik’s print profile in Issue #19 has photos by both B Smith and Jeff sharing duties, which really worked out because both teams managed to create some truly epic images. Now check out these three vertical stills from the print interview and rest assured that we’ll share more soon.
