"6. Jenn Shelton, shot by Andy Batt: This photo makes me want to run and run and run, and then go to Jenn's house afterward to hang out. It was also Andy's first shoot for us, and he did impress!"
"The Top 10 Outside Magazine Photos Ever* (*Okay, maybe not EVER. Let's just say in the last decade...and make that 13 photos..ten was impossible.)

I have worked at Outside for almost nine years as the creative director. What's a creative director? (You and my mom wonder.) It means I work in the art department on page layout and design, communicating with designers and photographers and wearing out my mouse. But sometimes I get to go outside and work with some of the most talented athletes and photographers on the planet. And this is the part of my job I love the most.

What makes these photographs great to me is walls-down honesty mixed with physical strength, which in my book equals drop-dead sexy. It wasn’t easy to pick out 13 because so many great photographers have shot for us and so many elite athletes have appeared in our pages, but these pictures represent the best of both worlds, the most inspiring people we have had the good fortune to shoot paired with the most genius photographers I have had the huge honor of working with.

I did a nice campaign for Oregon Regence/BlueCross BlueShield. This image is an alternate version to the pick. The pick did a better job of familying with the other images, but I prefer the flow of this one.
