Recently I had the pleasure of photographing Bobby from Baytrailrunners.com, a Bay Area running group that enjoy trail running and the punishment that comes with it! Leo and I, just walking the trails with our gear…not so much.

Bobby was a fantastic subject and his knowledge of the trails and the surrounding area was impressive. He even pointed out various edible plants to us, which did make us wonder just how long a hike we were in for! All in all I think we only covered about 3 miles, at one point a 4 year old boy passed us. Shameful.

Many thanks to Bobby for the opportunity and for showing me the great trails so close to my house. If you are at all interested in trail running or even hiking some beautiful trails in the Bay Area Bobby should be your first choice. He also offers personal training. Thanks as usual to Leo Coral, we almost killed him on this shoot with all the hiking…sorry Leo! One final mention goes to the über talented Sean Hagwell for his stellar pre-shoot long distance advice, the Matilda’s are on me Sean!

      Hi Mars

      The first shot is the 85L at f/1.2 with a 2 stop B+W ND filter on the lens. The last two shots are the 24-70L.

      Thanks for visiting mate.

    I just wanted to say that in your pictures I find inspiration for future work.
    The site is nicely designed and transparent.
    Thanks for guidance on the lighting. I think that by them I can still learn a lot.
    Continue with the good work.

    Excellent work brotha. The shots are solid! As for the Matilda’s, I’ll be cashing that in the second I hit SF.

    Again, great work Paul.
