The last two issues of SBC Skier Magazine from Canada have hit the newsstands and I have a few more photos I’m pretty stoked on that made it into the magazine as well as three shots in their first ever Photo Issue as well.

This summer I was contacted by the FIA’s magazine about shooting a feature on a land speed record attempt out at the Bonneville Salt Flats near Wendover, Utah. For those of you snow people that don’t know what the FIA is, it’s basically FIS but for auto racing. I’m a car geek. I’ve been one for a while, but I have yet to pursue any real opportunities photographing auto racing as I wanted to keep that fun part of life, just that. Fun and not work. This opportunity seemed quite mellow and maybe a good slide into that side a bit so I gave it a go.
I was pumped to get out on the salt again, when I went out last year for Speed Week, it was a really cool experience but this time around I was shooting a feature, giving me a bit of direction this time around. Another thing that was pretty fun was to be out there at sunset and sunrise, with access to these crazy machines. I had never seen cars like this in person, and had no idea what 457mph looked like. It was a trip for sure to see cars going that fast and trying to keep up with my eyes, let alone my camera!
After sending in the photos I got a response telling me that the planned 4 page feature was being bumped to a 6 pager since they liked the photos, and I was stoked to hear that! I then got the next email with the link to the magazine online and found that it had been now bumped to 12 pages. I even managed to get a photo of my own truck in the story on accident. I left a photo I took of my truck at sunset on the salt in the edit. Turns out they wanted it and my little truck is now in an internati0nal publication. Pretty cool huh?
Check out the story here at the FIA’s website.

About the last thing I’d ever expected was to have a urban skiing photo in National Geographic. Well, that day has come and it’s a pretty cool one. It’s not in the magazine, it’s just their “Extreme Photo of The Week” but hey, I don’t care it’s just cool. This shot of Nick Martini at Powder Mountain during a Poor Boyz Productions shoot last season was recently in the January issue of Powder Magazine but National Geographic Adventure picked it up for their website.

This just came in over the interweb. Stoked about this one, especially since the shot is a few years old. Just goes to prove that pow skiing is timeless, whereas a jib shot wouldn’t be current enough after a season has gone by. This shot is of Hannah Whitney taken in Grizzly Gulch at Alta, Utah. This evening was at the height of a storm that dumped 5 feet in 5 days. The snow was so deep and light that I had to ask Hannah to barely ski in with any speed because when she came in at a normal speed so it wouldn’t look like burrowing through snow!

If you’ve seen my twitter posts in the past week, I spent a few days on the Bonneville Salt Flats near Wendover, Utah shooting the FIA Bonneville Shootout land speed record attempt with 400+mph cars! For those that don’t know, the FIA is the governing body for race series like F1 (Formula 1) and the WRC (World Rally Championship). I ran across all sorts of people, but the mechanics seemed to be the most colorful out of all that was there. This guy (I can’t remember his name for the life of me) was pretty cool and with that beard, I had to take a few photos. What you see is what you get out there on the salt. Salt, lots of it. Wide open nothingness.

A few weeks ago I got to go out and shoot at the 5050 BMX King of the Mountain Best Trick contest at Powder Mountain, Utah. I don’t get to shoot stuff like this very often so it was a treat for me to get out there for something like this. I’ll keep it short, it was a really fun event, the riders threw down and the crowd was great and got into it rather colorfully. See below for that.

A little bike ride around the neighborhood with the camera and the macro lens and found myself climbing a fence to take photos of an abandoned building.

One of the added benefits of shooting with Byron Wells is since he’s from New Zealand and their ski magazines come out in June I get to see my photos in print a lot earlier than waiting 6 months for the photos to run in the ski magazines up in the Northern Hemisphere. This year is no different except Byron’s a bit more prominent in the magazine this time! Apparently the cover has some pretty good detail treatment with a bunch of foil print on the text so I’m pretty excited to see it in person. This is a shot from 2010 in Park City in this little backcountry urban zone as I like to call it that crews have been milking for the past few seasons. The old mining buildings in this zone make for some pretty unique shooting opportunities. This shot has was actually a horizontal shot and was cropped quite a bit to fit the vertical cover. Just about every time I’ve shot urban with Byron, it’s something he hasn’t tried before, but we always end up getting shots. He’s one hard working kid that wants to get shots. Glad Byron finally has a cover shot down there. Check out the original below.
