great assignment in southern, or earlier this week. here’s the view from the iphone. haven’t been that way since i was yosemite big wall bound with little more then a haulbag + 100 lbs of gear so amazing to reconnect.
more assignments lined for the next few weeks so will roll out the work as it’s published. in the meantime, i’m speaking at the art institute of portland tonight. telling the kids everything they need to hear but probably haven’t.
that pit in your stomach. the hunch in your gut.
sometimes you just have to roll with it.
it ain’t gonna happen anywhere but doing what you do. so. go. do. it.
at some point you’ve got to drop the measuring, the books + all the extraneous elements. what makes the most of photography is photography. works that way with life too.
good to be home + out on the streets late.
i’ve never felt that i needed an audience. used to consider myself shy. hated playing little league as it was just you in front of all those people watching. wrestling was even worse. imagine that i’m not anywhere near alone with this either.
why is it then the deeper you delve into creative work that it tends to find a public venue or need to find a way out beyond yourself. i’m not actively putting out stuff 24/7. do a ton of image taking + more just for me. but curiously enough, heading into nyc last week my iphone completely died. a problem on it’s own though not really a big deal as i have it backed up weekly + sync with mobile me.
what did chap me – the pictures. nothing ground breaking but oh the moments, gone for good. such a pisser + there’s no way around it. not even an early am visit to the flagship 5th ave store could salvage a few mbs of imagery. recent hipstamatic advances – done. sfo + lax – toast. fam on the beach – finito.
i knew this going into it + yet i can’t seem to let it go. i want those images back. those pixels are mine. they need to be (1) saved + (2) shared. why such a strong desire to go public? why the need to take these pictures in the first place?
now that we have access to cameras on our person nearly 24/7 it’s altered the landscape of what we can + are willing to do. i can’t believe how wholly i’ve been sucked in…. or conversely found a ripe outlet.
good to be back. gotta love pdx.
after far too long consumed with moving, a new city, more then half a dozen projects + all the small things that each of these endeavors entails i’m happy to be back where i need to be.
welcome to the new blog. brand new flavor. crazy new visuals. a keen sense of direction. + the same old heath korvola. well mostly anyway.
as you can see we cleaned house here on the blog to keep it moving forward as well as fall in line with the new site that’s out any day now. added a slew of new links on the right side in a few new categories – some stuff that’s really inspired + fueled me over what’s amounted to a crazy two months. have reformatted a few of the features + attempted to keep it all in order + clean for your perusal.
in line with the new site + work roll out i’ll be releasing my latest movie, the escape, here this week as well. it’s a short tale of self discovery + modern life. until then, keep moving forward.

things have been ramping up lately as multiple projects are coming together at precisely the same time. which to be honest is not a bad way to live – i tend to thrive in the absolutely crazy stuff. summer’s finally arriving + our move to oregon full time will be wrapping up this month as will a brand spanking new hk website. in conjunction, have had numerous shoots lately (both still + video) + a plethora of to do’s + prep – pdn’s photo annual nyc rooftop party anyone?
the up tempo life will either make or break you in terms of focus + efficiency. here’s a few of my latest favs for streamlining everything i do in a day as well as a few for putting smiles on my face afterward.
creative – storyboard composer iphone app by cinemek – put together a whole scene the other day walking to the toyota dealer + was able to share with production help. fantastic.
video – zoom’s h4n for solid sound in conjunction with movie slate.
workflow – import to fcp made easy(ier)… post haste
business – square. now we can all take payments anytime anywhere. bonus = we don’t have to face the credit card companies + their army of bloated fees. can’t wait to get mine.
web – no, thank you.
photo – why not get it now. polaroid started it + though the game’s shifted a bit there are still plenty of options including the poladroid app for you desktop system.
music – the latest from bonobo, black sands, is worth sitting down with in a plush leather chair, a stiff drink + killer set of headphones. bar that, just put it on + soak it up.
radio – if you have time, this american life had a fun film related piece this last weekend titled “home movies“.
Home movies are often all the same
thank you to PDN + the fine eyed judges + congrats to all the talented photographers featured. excited to be part of the movie this image is attached to due out later this summer from counter production.
+ congrats to pdx friends fashionbuddha for the work they did on phillip toledano‘s amazing site ‘days with my father’ featured in the latest issue as well.
