Many photographers (myself included) have jumped on the Sam Hurd bandwagon by waving glass prisms in front of their lenses while creating images. And why not? It's unique, unexpected and given the right light, can produce some beautiful results. But on a recent video shoot, I discovered that you could create a similar effect by using a Nalgene Water Bottle.
Here are the details.
Say hello to Jonathan & Amber Perrodin. Together, they are Perrodin Supply Co. And for the record, they are also responsible for The Little Craft Show and #TeamSpringdale. They work out of a beautifully rough workspace that they call, "The Hatchery". Located in the downtown Springdale area, the Perrodins spend their days creating beautiful things. Amber has a background in Printmaking and also enjoys creating mixed media pieces while Jonathan enjoys woodworking and makes canvases and wooden decor.
I had the opportunity to hang out with Jonathan and Amber in their workspace, camera in-hand. Here are a few images from our morning together. Look for them in the upcoming issue of Arkansas Made Magazine.

They train together, race together, hang out and even volunteer together. And while they train on all of the nearby trials, their home turf is the Slaughter Pen Mountain Bike trails of Bentonville Arkansas. This particular trail system is certified as a Silver Level Ride Center by the International Mountain Bicycling Association (IMBA), making it a destination for out-of-towners and local riders alike. I recently had the opportunity to hang out with some of the riders that make up the Phat Tire Racing Team and I managed to get them to slow down enough for a few photos. Look for the complete story in the upcoming issue of Bike Arkansas Magazine. Cheers.

Clayton was on-hand to show me the space and walk me through the process. Here's a few images from the shoot. You can view the full story in the upcoming issue of Arkansas Made Magazine. Enjoy.
