Pro Challenge!

I had a great time over the past few days with the Pro Challenge coming through Gunnison and then going with the race to Aspen and finally hiking back.
I'll post more on this topic but thought this shot of Tom Danielson of Boulder winning the stage was worth putting up right away. Now back to my other job...

April 1225

A foot in the door?

Or maybe just a toe? I hope my photo which was used on Outside Magazine's website is just the start of something.

The photo was one I shot last summer getting images for another magazine's web site that I never submitted to them (met my quota already). Then recently I was contacted by Dave Wiens looking for a photo of the 24 Hours in the Sage mountain bike race. I went through my unused images and found this one I had previously overlooked. I like it and I hope the good folks at Outside do too.

Plenty more where that came from! :)

January 1210

It's a start

I was mountain biking on Saturday which is odd for January around here and I brought the camera as I often do. Near the end of the ride I was thinking I should have just left it at home because the light was no good and I was getting tired and cold. Then suddenly the light broke through and illuminated this squall over Gunnison and having the camera became very worthwhile! I forgot about being cold for a little while and got these photos before a very brisk ride home reminded me.
Sadly the storm didn't give us any significant much-needed snow, but it was enough to enjoy a little skiing at Monarch the following day.
