1. It's amazing how similarly these guys see the world. And I mean that in a good way, although I wonder if photo buyers will. I'm just a photo enjoyer, so I could be wrong.
2. It also looks like they spend a lot of time shooting together, as there are some striking similarities of place + conditions in some of these.
3. I'd like to be a little fly on the wall in post-processing, because these guys are taking already fantastic images and extracting every last bit of usable information from them. Maybe a bit too saturated in many instances, but these photos sure make for a striking first impression.
4. Zack's photo #5: Would it have killed him to bring a babe in a bikini with him instead?
5. Zack's photo #16: Really? Really??? With all the portfolio has going for it, that one's a big Art Wolfe-sized FAIL.
6. I really need to go to the PNW someday.

Something about that moon sure looks strange...hmmmm. But that's just one out of a whole bunch so I'll overlook it for now as long as he doesn't paint it green! Speaking of green, I particularly like Chips' number 7.
Great bunch of photographers. I agree with the comments of over saturated images at times.
Of course this seems to be the trend with digital. Then on the other hand people who buy photography seem to lean toward the more saturated images. It will be interesting to see how the group progresses. A group of five photographers went into business together in Jackson and their number is now down to two. There certainly are advantages financially to the pooling of resources. I wish them the best.
