ive seen some of your work, looks like such a sick job, are you an independent photographer who gets hired by multiple employers or do you just shoot for freeskier

i've been working three jobs around 60-70 hrs per week since last year (couldn't ski because of surgery), and since i don't have time to spend money (work til 4am friday and saturday) i have a bunch saved up, so this summer i'm basically setting myself up for the next 4-5 seasons. a new pair of skis (soon to be two as soon as i find a deal on gotamas), two pairs of bindings, a ski rack, got my pass already, new boots, one styly easygoing jacket/pants setup and soon a 20k+ jacket for days when it's puking, hopefully a beacon, and i might even buy a pair of skis for my dad since last time i skied with him at silverton he was on a pair of 180 scream 10 pilots and that shit just ain't right

i have this thing called a job. at this so called job, i do this thing called work. this purported "work" allows me to accrue this crazy thing referred to as "money" or "dinero" or "cash-ola." with said "cash-ola" in hand, I am able to go to sellers of various goods and "purchase" whatever my heart desires/ can afford. its a pretty strange system and i wouldnt't necesarillty reccomend it for everyone, but its all i've really ever known and it seems to work decently
