Triple Crown | Hound Ears

Photographed the first of three events of the Triple Crown Bouldering Series. I am told this is the largest comp in the country. The crowds were big with big talent.

A great thought provoking video I stumbled upon today by Zack Arias. It is long but a worth while watch.

Rainy Monday

Asheville NC is in the middle of a monsoon so I thought I would work indoors on product photography. For some reason it lead to this.

Peru Revisited

2009-08-31T10:14:00.001-07:00

Revisited my images from Peru today. I really liked this on of Hauscaran in the Cordillera Blanca but the highlights were over exposed. I recently discovered Photomatrix a tone mapping software. I thought I would try to see if I could save the image. I also applied Nik Silver Efex to create the monochromatic blue tone. I like the dramatic effect it created. Let me know what you think.

Check out the latest issue of Blue Ridge Outdoors. I had a couple images published of one of my favorite places in the southeast, Linville Gorge (pg46).

Crankworx Slopestyle Finals

2009-08-07T12:44:00.000-07:00

With the rain finally gone and blue skies above us, the Slopestyle Finals kicked off. The riders had been skipping the top part of the coarse during previous practice days so today was the only chance to capture the action.

The coarse started with a big drop off a gnarly piece of granite onto a wooden spiral. Next, riders were launched through the air off a wooden ramp nearly 30 ft above the landing.

From the shadow of the woods, the riders soared into sunlight, high above the crowd, turning flips one jump after another.

Crankworx Colorado

2009-08-01T08:41:00.000-07:00

The Crankworx Slopestyle coarse is nuts. Ramps take riders flying through the air 30-40 ft up. With landing pads built out of the nearby trees, (20 feet up) the riders rarely touch the ground. They jump across huge gaps facing serious consequences but their finesse and skill make it look easy.

I was just informed that I am getting a media pass for the Crankworx Colorado mountain bike event at Winter Park. That means I will behind the scenes shooting the event. Looking forward to a road trip. Look for photo from the trip in early August.

Trip to Max Patch

2009-07-12T06:52:00.000-07:00

Took a trip up to a friend's cabin Sunrise Lookout this weekend. The cabin is located deep in the Appalachians near the beautiful Max Patch, a high grassy bald with spectacular views of the Smoky Mountain National Park. With the cabin located only 7 miles from this great location my wife and I made the drive up for the sunset.Not a great sunset but an amazing view never the less. On the 7 mile return trip down the winding gravel road just after the sunset we saw 5 deer and a big black bear. In my 6 years living in the North Carolina mountains I have not seen this many deer and have only seen 3 bear.

Asheville Skatepark

Took a walk up to the skate park last night. With being less that a 5 minute walk away I will be making regular trip there.

Triple Crown DH Race

2009-07-01T16:01:00.000-07:00
