Wandering The West

How's the unnatural landscape out West? Let's take a look.

Shooting The 2015 Ford F-150 In Arizona's Tonto Forest

Is the 2015 Ford F-150 ready for its close up? Yes! It's ready to rumble in the desert for a couple of days as part of a challenge called "You Test." Bring it.

You can check out the video here. Just scroll down the page, click on You Test and then click on the chapter called, "36 Hours In The Desert." Repeat.

Our hero.

Prepping at the temple of truck. Yes, cameras were hurt in the making of this video.

Craft service in the desert - joy!

Primping the sunset to get the best shots.

Our hero again, eating desert.

Digging The Arizona Desert

One of the perks of James' job is the chance to go to great places for production shoots. When you're working on Ford truck projects, you know you won't be shooting at a strip mall in Virginia. No offense to strip malls or Virginia.  OK, maybe a little to strip malls.

First stop on a recent Ford shoot: Arizona. Time to look tough among the cacti. It's hard to beat what nature has set dressed.

Yield to the beauty (or just shoot at it).

Cacti and trees.

A storm coming in. Yes, rain in the desert.
