Keep things simple and light....it will make you better. No matter how much gear you bring to a shoot...your eye & mind will make the difference. Yes, I'm a little proud of this one and it feels good. Thanks to all the great tips at Strobist, I think David Hobby's teachings are finally sinking in.

Backcountry snowboarding with snowmobiles


There is nothing better than untracked powder and not another snowboarder in sight. I ventured out on "sleds" snowmobiles into the Northern Sierras with Brandon Cocard & Chris Bosco. About 30 minutes off the trail head, we found a nice little zone to build a kicker. We got stuck plenty of times trying to get out as I was on a borrowed sled from Andy Finch that I have named "Orca", Brandon hit a tree and Bosco found a hole!

It was a great day out there shredding and soaking up the sun...Bosco made sure to get me in on a few laps as I made a few glorious turns. They got their share as well:)!
