What's the Jackanory? Another Fine Hetherington™

The US Open starts today at the Merion Golf Club in Pennsylvania and in lieu of that I am excited to share my debut outing for Golf Digest magazine entitled ‘The Real Home of Golf’.

At the end of April I was dispatched to Edinburgh and Scotland’s East Lothian Golf Coast for a travel feature exploring all the local golf delights what with The Open Championship being staged in the area at Muirfield this year.

As with any trip to this part of the world weather was a concern. Thankfully it played its part regally as we often experienced all four seasons within a minute which added to the drama as it made for an ever changing wardrobe and lighting palette.

Unfortunately space was tight so only a few photo’s made the printed matter but I will share lots of out takes from my adventures in July as the build up to The Open begins.

Big ups to Christian and the crew at GD for letting me get my tartan fix and to Shane for flying in from Dublin and being my trusty caddy for the trip…

Here’s what a football pitch looks like squeezed into Yankee Stadium for the Rep of Ireland V Spain game June 11 2013. Unfortunately the Irish were pretty brutal and suffered a 2-0 defeat but never mind I got a nice edition to my Stadia project…

Here’s my spread of The Weather Channel weatherman Jim Cantore for the July issue of Outside magazine.

I have to say that this shoot went swimmingly. Jim was more than game in braving the bathroom elements and was a super fun sport. We tried to recreate a storm force environment although the water was comfortably warm mind you…

Big ups to Hannah and Amy at Outside.

The SS Kid Rock story I worked on for the June issue of GQ went live online today (read here) complete with an extensive web gallery of all the shenanigans I came across on aboard.

Big ups to Drew Magary (the writer) for being such a Chillin’ the Most pro and going all in by showing off his Cucci Galore in public. Good times….
