POOR BOYZ PRODUCTIONS “REVOLVER” (2010) SYNOPSIS

Revolver, the 2010 film from Poor Boyz Productions, presented by
Salomon focuses on the progression and the factors that have coincided
with many great advancements of the sport of skiing. (Over the last
decade skiing has exploded into what we know it is today. But skiing
has had many trying moments long before the end of the 20th century.)
This season Poor Boyz Productions plans to showcase today’s raw talents
of skiing in a high action, retrospective, yet progressive look at what
things are pushing the sport today.

PACIFIC NORTHWEST: Day 1 - Seattle

Jul 15th 2010 - 7 comments

I'm out
here in the Pacific Northwest to check out the summer ski camps that
operate on the Blackcomb Glacier in Whistler for the summer months.
It's a first visit to the area for me and I'll be out here for the next
14 days or so. I'm going to hopefully post everyday of the trip. Enjoy!

Day 1 ~

Flying
out of Boston early yesterday morning, with a connection in Atlanta, I
got into Seattle by mid afternoon local time and took the Light Rail
Train (which is a bitch to walk to thru the terminal with 250 lbs of
gear) down to the K2 Sports offices to meet up with friend & Line
Skis guru Josh Malczyk whose place I was crashing at for the evening.
The K2 HQ, which houses the offices for all it's brands, is huge! I
definitely enjoyed the peek behind the scenes.

I set up a remote camera near a pair of nesting Great Crested Flycatchers near a birdhouse. Here's the result.

Switching gears here for the summer season...No more skiing until my
trip West to Hood & Whistler in July. Until then, enjoy my non
skiing related shoots.

Holga!

Here's a couple of frames from my Holga camera ( a $25 plastic toy
camera loved by photo hobbyist & hipsters alike) that I shot on my
way down to a destination wedding. The wedding, which took place in
Tulum, Mexico, was a quick flight to Cancun from Boston via Baltimore.
With all my professional gear stored in the overhead, I enjoyed the
chance to play around with the little medium format camera. Enjoy.

Thanks

While sorting through
photos from this past season's work and seeing the amount of fun my
friends and I had during the numerous trips, it's easy to forget that
being a professional in the industry does require a large amount of
work. Photos like these, taken while I was traveling with Salomon
FreeskiTV, remind me of the dedication these athletes (and filmers)
have...

Headed to Brighton, Utah this past week to shoot the Line Team in next year's gear for their website. In addition to on hill antics, we had some off hill hilarity in sue at the rental house where I set up a sweep to photograph the athletes. Here's Max Hill.

2010 Freestyle Junior Olympics

Mar 18th 2010 - 0 comments



The 2010 USSA Freestyle Junior Olympics took place at Waterville
Valley in New Hampshire this past week as competitors from as far off
as Alyeska, Alaska descended upon the small New England ski hamlet for
six days of competition.
Beginning
with men & women?s superpipe finals under bluebird skies on
Wednesday, the field of 29 women and 45 men took to the 16-foot pipe
like a Toyota, just pedal to the metal. With the age of the competitors
ranging from 7 to 18, it was clear from the start that the level of
talent would be varied, but the one constant was the drive of each
athlete to put together their best of two runs with hopes of getting on
the podium.

slideshows and content!

With
two days of rest and catching up on emails after my trip to Reno, I
headed back on the road to Loon Mountain this past weekend to shoot for
their brochure and website. Despite the 2:00 a.m. wake up &
departure from Cape Cod, I was pretty excited for most of the 3 hr 20
min drive to get up to my home resort and shoot the sunrise atop North
Peak. If I had a bucket list, riding to the summit of Loon in a snowcat
would be crossed off now.
