Watkins Glen Race Report

So this weekend, I travelled to Watkins Glen New York to watch and shoot some racing. Many different kinds of cars racing, from Ferraris, to open wheeled Formula cars. Things got a little crazy at times with cars spinning out into walls, and others climbing onto their opponents cars. In the end the races were all action packed, and lots of racing fun. My step dad Jeremy was the reason we were down there, he is number 00 in the red Formula B car in most of these photos. He had a successful weekend, winning one race and coming second in the second race.
The racing world is a very fasted paced and fun thing to experience, I hope everyone can experience it at least once in their life. Just remember to get as close to the track as possible and get ready to cover your ears. One of the coolest things life has to offer.

Enjoy the Photos!

Winner of the Transworld "Your Turn Photo Contest"

So this actually happened several weeks ago, but i figured I would wait till I could confirm things with Transworld and High Cascade Snowboard Camp. I have been talking to the Associate Photo Editor of Transworld Snowboarding in the past few weeks, seeing if this is actually true and happening.
The breakdown of the contest goes as follows: Anybody and everybody would submit their own "Season's Best" photos onto the TWS website, and this would continue for several months until the people at TWS would pick a winner and show some honorable mentions. I submitted two photos, two of those photos were posted on this blog, one was of Brad Hesson doing a bs nosepress in the streets of toronto. The other was of Spencer Kaleb doing a huge air in the Downlow contest.
Clearly they preferred the shot of Brad, considering it won the whole contest! There was some tough competition that i was up against, but luckily and thankfully i came out on top. Never would I have thought I could win a photo contest put on by transworld snowboarding. There are many many good photographers out there and im glad to be considered one of them.
I will be heading to HCSC August 5-10 to take part in their summer photo workshop week, where i will be working and shooting along some highly acclaimed snowboard photographers and other people who are deep in the snowboard industry. Should be an amazing experience and I cant wait to take part in it. Its a fantastic opportunity to do something big in the snowboard photography world.
Here is a link to the winning page on Transworld to check out the winning shot and the others who i were considered with.
