Salt Fresh & Field TEASER from Salt, Fresh & Field on Vimeo.

Salt, Fresh & Field is a TV series in development featuring an emotional and visually emersive treatment of hunting, fishing, foraging and exploring food sources on the West Coast of North America.

A vivid, and cinematic experience, Salt, Fresh & Field busts apart old paradigms of the "hook and bullet" genre with style and makes finding your own food sexy for a generation of urbanites who are becoming more conscious and curious about where their food comes from.

Chad Brealey, our authentic and approachable guide embodies the modern urban male — aware of his environment, up for adventure and not afraid to get dirty in and out of the kitchen.

Taking a visceral step beyond the farmer's market, Chad gets out of town and gathers ingredients to prepare a feast for friends and family waiting in the city. Chad's honest and humorous approach and the beauty and fantasy presented in each episode makes it cool to care about where food comes from and crave the art and adventure of putting food on the table.

Looks great, hope to see more about this soon.

Porsche, the Road to Pikes Peak from Will Roegge on Vimeo.

Jeff Zwart drove his 911 GT2 RS 1,132 miles from his home in Santa Ana, CA to Pikes Peak, CO to defend his hill climb time attack record. Even thought his record was broken, it takes a certain kind of driver to forgo the luxury RV he could have been riding in and trek across the country himself.

B.V.I 2011

I spent last week on vacation, sailing in the British Virgin Islands. The week before I left it rained for five days straight. That same week it also rained for 5 days straight in the Islands, and the forecast for the next week called for more of the same. Luckily the rain cleared up, leaving beautiful sunny skies and warm weather. There was an unusual lack of wind which is rare as the island are so well known for their strong trade winds.

The island in the photo is Saba Rock, which sits in North Sound on the island of Virgin Gorda. When I first started visiting the BVI, Saba Rock was only had a tiny family owned restaurant on it. It served up great Caribbean food and was populated by a few nasty mouthed parrots. On Thanksgiving theywould have a huge feast and their dock would be so crowded that the chain of dinghy's would almost reach the shore I took the photo from. The family sold the island to developers a few years back, and although its unfortunate the old restaurant is gone, the developers kept the island hotel they build relatively tasteful.

We visited an artist community in Trellis Bay, Beef Island.
They had lots of friendly dogs and cats. This guy was especially friendly.

Even when sailing, I am still car spotting.

This is the house of an old blind man named Conrad who lives in Great Harbor on Peter island. He hangs out the beach welcoming sailors who use his beach to get access the the nicer resorts which don't exactly cater to sailing types. His house seems to be the only private residence on the island. The rest of the island is owned by a a few large resorts. I assume he was the only person to not sell their land and move when they started building.
