Swimming Pool Locations In Northern California

The Beijing 2008 Olympic Games have been fascinating and Birdman has enjoyed watching the American Olympic Swimmers win medals, especially Michael Phelps. Photographer Rick Chapman had the honor of photographing the legendary swimmer last year as he was preparing for this year's games. In spirit of these Olympics we're showcasing some swimming pool locations we've found over the past few months.

In May we were asked at the last minute to find a swimming pool for an ESPN Magazine article featuring America's Olympic Medal winner Natalie Coughlin. Olympians are often on a tight schedule as they prepare for the games, we had less than 24 hours to find the creative team a location. King Pool in Berkeley, CA was happy to provide exclusive access to their facilities for the shoot.

Producer Jenny Bullock and photographer Jim Hughes sent us out in the June heat searching for swimming pools for an underwater shot for GSW Worldwide.

Sometimes... you just have to jump in!

Monster Locations in San Francisco

Producer Kara Snider was faced with a tight production schedule on a Monster.com project involving several unique work environments. We were able to quickly provide multiple choices for the creative team by pulling files from our database. Our file pull saved time in the early stages of production and photographer Timothy Archibald created some really strong images for the campaign. It was great working Kara and Timothy on this project, check out the results.
