On Saturday, March 6, 2010 – a group of friends arrived at Copper Mountain for (almost) first tracks on fresh pow – 4″ inches of dry, pristine fluffy powder.
Snow Envy
I am always looking to evolve my photographic skills, and always looking to prove that I can be more than just a landscape photographer… mission accomplished.
I had set out one Friday for the Colorado mountains with my camera, tripod and two strobes (a.k.a. speedlights or flashes). Earlier in the afternoon I scouted the resort town of Breckenridge in Colorado’s Summit County, and had stumbled upon this forgotten wooden shed behind a closed down historic museum from the late 1800s. The wood was very aged and showed lots of character. I returned later that evening as the snow began to fall again. The strobes enabled a fast shutter speed and bright light to capture the snow falling and to bring out the colors and texture in the wood grain.
Lessons learned? I’ll bring my snowboard next time.
Snowboarding Squaw Valley

Some footage of my team mates snowboarding in Tahoe’s north lake resort Squaw Valley. Not the most exciting riding you’l ever see, but the scenery (and hopefully the soundtrack selection) makes the vid worth watching.
