Tony Donaldson was into BMX biking as a teenager, and this led him to a career path shooting extreme and "action" sports. Along the way, he's added celebrity portraiture and commercial work to the mix. We spent a few minutes talking earlier this week as Tony was preparing to shoot the X Games for ESPN.

As I write, Tony Donaldson is deep in the weeds of shooting this year's X Games for ESPN, and from the interview, I'm sure he's exhausted, but loving every minute of it.
Tony is also very active on the Pro Photo Coalition blog. I've bookmarked this one. You should, too.
3 things Tony Donaldson always has in his camera bag are a leatherman tool. (He's still got one of the originals with the leather case!), polarizers and ND filters, and safety pins.
2 photographers he suggests we check out right now are Greg Heisler and Mike Ditz.
1 Dream shoot: it involves an event like the X games, if you can believe such a thing! Listen to the podcast for the details.
