Pre-Jibulation Snowboard Competition

My snowboard season has official begun. Rome Snowboards' Pre-Jibulation at Waterville Valley took place this past Saturday. The sun was out and the warmish temperatures kept the unset of frostbit at bay. Waterville Valley did a great job creating a fun set-up despite the lack of natural snow. The competition went off really well with all the competitors excited to throw themselves at the various features.

I am excited to be back photographing snowboarding and looking forward to the upcoming season. After some traveling in Israel and then working the presidential inauguration for NBC, I will be spending the next few months chasing the snow and photographing different riders and competitions around North America.

Still lifes

As a budding freelance photographer, I decided it was time to set up a studio and shoot some still lifes. After a trip to Target I was able to drape a white sheet over two chairs and light my stage with two cheap desk lights. I dragged up all my outdoor into my "studio" and started shooting.
