Native Crew Selected

I've been selected as part of a local team to tell the story of Hood River for an upcoming ad campaign for Native Eyewear. I have to say a big thanks to everyone who voiced their support of me to Native and their agency ThinkMotive. I am super excited to participate in the sharing of this amazing place and the incredible people here.
I am also stoked to work with a diverse and talented group of writers, specifically Temira Wagonfeld and Phineas England.

In the next few weeks we'll be asking the locals to assist in the effort by helping identify places of interest, incredible local businesses, the special hangouts and adventure zones deserving recognition. It wouldn't be totally fair to just do it ourselves. This project is about involving the community too.

We'll be seeking local top athletes in all sports to profile (bike, ski, windsurf, skate, kite, climb, kayak), as well as looking for the unsung local who breathes Hood River in their daily lifestyle. Artists, musicians, surfboard shapers, brewmasters, who ever they may be.

I'll also be seeking input for any local events between the shoot dates of August 18-21 worthy of recognition (like Post and Pint), and especially the local organizations that are working to make the community better (such as The Slider Project, Gorge Freeride Association, Columbia River Keepers).

But most importantly I'll need feedback regarding the stories and tales of the Hood. The unique the bizarre, the legendary stuff of Hood River's past. That lore deserves to be documented and shared.

We all know this place is special. I want to hear why it is from you. You can do this by emailing me directly (lance@ionimagery.com), calling me (503.544.6387) or just stopping me on the street.

You can also do it by clicking this link and posting your suggestion on the Tales from the Hood Facebook page. There the Native peeps will be giving away sunglasses. I think it's a weekly give away, I also think the more you post the better your chances to win are.

Thanks again everyone for the support.
