Butte to Bend. N-Dub Here We Go!

The grinch rode down this on a sled to deliver gifts to the Whos. Crested Butte was a RIOT. There are few authentic mountain towns these days, and Crested Butte is one of them for sure. The people are friendly, the hill is steep, and everyone rips. Is that a Ski-bow? I’m not a football fan but I thought this was hilarious. Two points for the tele crowd. I also got to hang out with the locals on my day off....

The graphics changed (thanks god! ), so did the technique. But the motivation for slashing windlips is bigger than ever. Not really sure though whether that clothing style deserves the headline ADVENTURE :-) !

Old Man’s 11/7/11

I decided to head to the emptiness of EV. The back was empty and parts of the West Wall sat pasted an early season brown and white. These small wind drifted areas provide good test spots for stability.

10fps vs. 10frames

Motivation and inspiration are like a roller coaster, and there is no doubt that we all have been in different "stages" of the ride.Sometimes you feel like just grabbing the camera and shooting anything, not only that it seems easy but it is a lot of fun. Other times you just can't get yourself to go out and shoot even when you think you feel like it. This happens when the lack of motivation and/or inspiration hits you!...
