A bit of Montana

Andy and I took a trip out to Bozeman, MT this past Feb. Its sad that this area just lost 150 miles of their 170 miles of singletrack. Though it was crazy because many of the mountain bike trails where the same as the hiking trails. Imagine flying down the side of a mountain then having to dodge hikers!! Hopefully its not the end for the trails but rather a new start for smart and sustainable trail building practices.

Here we are off to see the Dragonfly inspired bridge. And on our trek to see Jim Ice Climb. I cant remember the name of the climb unfortunately but we were up at Hyalite.

MCKINLEY the MOUNTAIN DOG!!

After Shredding the Gnar the little guy came home to warm up with the lady of the house and some super awesome Tent Booties!! : ) Oh and of course, Mckinley as well.

And finally a super rewarding trip to Yellowstone the day before we left. Only problem is that I need More Gear, a 200mm lens does nothing for a photographer in Yellowstone. Lessons learned my friends, Now just which new gear to purchase before the next trip : 0

SURPRISE!!

And I just posted this because it amazes the geologist inside of me. Took the picture from a moving car, lumps of land just rise out of the ground like that. Crazy!!

Extreme Engagements

So a few weeks back I had the pleasure of a winter engagement session at Minnehaha Falls. I had never been there in the winter, its quite the stunning site to see!

And what could make the stunning falls better you ask? Well, the answer is a stunning couple. I actually worked with two couples this day. Both equally extreme. My morning couple braved the ice wall climbing with me back behind the fall for some cool images. My afternoon couple didnt get so lucky, we ended up with a mud wall. But we still got some amazing images. Thanks to both of these great couples for braving the cold, ice, and mud for an amazing session!

Penn Cycle Ice Race

I have uploaded my images from the Penn Cycle Ice Race which you can find here. It was great to shoot this race, I got to see some old friends, its been such a long time since I have seen the MORC crew!! Im excited to have a bit more free time and a bit more time back in the saddle this season, woohoo!
