James McLeod

Staff Photographer

The California Native, turned Banks local, is better known for his lurking than his photography. Ironic images of the homeless, the helpless and the unexplainable are his specialty. He captures a side of kayaking that is never seen in the glossy mainstream magazines.

Mike Leeds

Staff Photographer

Leeds is a bad-ass on and off the river. He's killing it with whitewater panoramas, HDR landscapes and candid portraits of the whitewater lifestyle.

Ryan Bailey

Staff Photographer

He has taken some of the worst photos on the Payette for over 10 years. Most of his photos were taken with borrowed cameras, and the majority of his photos were captured on expired film. With the exception of the Banks Mag, Bailey remains unpublished in any paddling magazines in any language, and for good reason.
