Took this shot at some bar in Breck. Some guy got body slammed onto the table next to me. That was a different night in the same bar. It was WWF style. Crazy I tell ya.

Day 2 - Beaver Creek, Colorado

The first day on the mountain was a powder day at Beaver Creek. Here's two pics before it snowed.

Then came the Pow! Yeah, bring on the pow.

It just kept snowing that day. The conditions were rad for snowboarding but I'm not used to taking photos in these kind of elements.

This is a still frame I pulled out of some video I shot. This explains the grainy low quality image.

Who's Prints Are These?

Are these raccoon prints? I don't know. Do bunnies have claws that big?

Racoon Prints 215

I don't think raccoons hop like this...

Racoon Prints 211

I've never seen a raccoon hop. It must be a bunny with the biggest paws/claws I've ever seen. My shoe print meatures 1 foot on the nuts. This animal has serious paws.

Blue Boats in da Snow

I know what I was trying to achieve in this shot but it didn't really work out the way I wanted. Still kinda like it.

Blue Boats N Snow 130

I Liked this shot except the pole was effecting the general composition of the photo. So I took it out in the image below.

Yellow Storage Makes me Wonder:

What do they keep in the locked up yellow storage thingy? How long have the keys been left in the lock? Why didn’t I just turn the key and find out?

Canoe in the Snow

WOW, I haven't posted anything since my birthday. Where did November go? Yes, I'm still alive and yes I have a lot of new photos to share. When I woke up this morning I noticed it snowed quite a bit, so I decided to spread my prints round town. Ended up taking lots of photos. Here's one I shot of a chained canoe off Lake Calhoun. 16 degree canoe ride anyone?
