TWSnow - Spot Check

        I had my wisdom tooth taken out today. What an odd experience it is to wake up from anesthesia for the first time! I'm sucking on a bloody cotton swab now. Mmm...

        When I got home, I opened my new Transworld Snowboarding magazine and was pleasantly surprised to see my photo ran for a Powder Ridge "Spot Check". Congratulations to Yusaku Horii for being published in a photo of a small Minnesota ski resort after flying all the way from his home base - Japan. He is such an entertaining rider to watch and has one of the best looking method grabs I have ever seen. Thanks goes to Michael Weiner and the people at Powder Ridge for making this photo shoot come alive. Finally, thanks to Chris Wellhausen, Photo Editor of Transworld Snowboarding, for giving me the opportunity to shoot this assignment. I appreciate all of your help!

TWS - Your Turn Photo Contest

     Roughly a few months ago, I entered an image of Dan Liedahl into Your Turn Photo Contest - an amateur photo contest held by Transworld Snowboarding Magazine. There were four categories to enter in: "Ultimate Jib", "Into The Dark", "White Room", and "Pipe Dreams". My image won the "Ultimate Jib" category. Now we are down to the four finalists of each category. The winner receives a free trip to High Cascade Snowboard Camp to be a part of the photography workshop they hold there. This would be a huge opportunity to make some photographs and to make some great connections. Check the link below to see the photo I entered, as well as the other three finalists.
