PhotoBook 1

1.I made a Photobook a few years back for a fundraiser for a buddy of mine. Its full of Alberta Crew from past and present. I figured I would share a page or two at a time, since I only made 1 copy of the book for Navin.
Enjoy.

Bannock.

I keep saying I will post old shots more often. I hope to, really I do. Time is just slipping away so quickly.
Anyway Managed to be able to do a few runs with some friends on Whistler a few days ago.. one of whom I rarely have a chance to hang with Mr. Dennis Bannock. A couple summers back in NZ I convinced him I had a shot we needed to get. He obliged.. despite having to bomb into a spring-slush frozen solid garbage 1/4 pipe in complete darkness, he also had to get blinded by my flashes and some halos from the snowcat. I wish it got published somewhere. but it didnt. Dennis asked me where it ended up. My Hard-drive was the only answer, until now.

Here you are Dennis. Blogged!

Diggin'

Found a few shots from the past that I somewhat forgot about till I was cleaning up a drive today...
I had a few days of shooting for Option Snowboards just before they put out their last catalog. Here are a few of Pat McCarthy and crew from that shoot.

Sad to see a once strong Canadian Brand not producing any longer.

Mt.Hood on a bus

Had a last minute trip to shoot an exciting new product at Mt.Hood this past week. More to come later on the brand/product..

We took a bus from Vancouver. I have not been on a bus for a trip for a very long time. It was nice to see so much and relax without having to drive.

Oregon is a pretty sweet State.

US truck stop gas stations are amazing..

Mt.Hood was raining one day and Blue and hot the next. It was pretty good times...

A little spot up the road..

I went for a drive yesterday. I don't know why, but I always think better when I am driving.. no distractions from life, especially if where you drive also has no cell reception. It happened to be raining, so my plan to find a calm spot and snap a few images turned into looking for enough tree cover to get the camera out.

There is a perfect place I know just up the road... Years of hard work, Color, Creativity, and words of thought... they all are part of this little spot.

I might not get to keep coming back to this escape much longer so I decided to take a few photos, and think about the future.

New Family addition. Meet Eli Wayne Patterson!!

- Eli Wayne Patterson was born @ 9:07 am on Sunday March 28th at the Lions Gate Hospital in Vancouver BC, 8 pounds 8 ounces!

Right from first light ( well, after a bit of suction, and a wipe down) he seemed to really want to take a good look at the world! we feel really blessed and happy!

..............and lastly... here is when I think little Eli thought he had enough of me taking his photo....

New Addition Countdown......

Sometime soon my wife and I are expecting our first child.....
The countdown to due day has come, and passed a few days back...

Now we wait..... Boy or Girl ? - we do not know....

Everyone has an opinion on what we are having...

Soon enough we will have an answer!

Early Mornings = Long Days

This past week we had beautiful weather for 4 days in a row. With "Spring" here, the days are very, very long up in the alpine. The light hits some of the zones starting at 6:30am, and you can stay out shooting till 7 or a bit later to get sunset glows.

After a few days like that, the poor weather is a welcome change. Not to mention it brings more snow up high to play in on the next sunny break!

Oldies but Goodies Part 1....

I started to clean out a few old hard drives today. It used to be that I would throw away all my slides that did not make the "A" cut. Now I have so many digital files they are hard to track. I have gotten better at cataloging and archiving my images in the past few years, but looking back makes me wonder how many I just passed over.

There are so many images that you never get to see printed each year. I think now with the ease of websites I will try to get out as many of the oldies I like as I can for the riders who were involved, their friends and family to enjoy and everyone else who is interested.

Don't expect them to come every day... I'm not that dedicated!
Peace
