the best day ever

So today I skipped school and headed on up to whistler to do what you ask? To assist a photographer called Adam Clark on a shoot for skiers such as Sage Cattabriga-alosa, Ingrid Backstrom and Ian McIntosh. My job was to carry a big flash around called an Elinchrom Ranger which, at the beginning felt like it weighed about 30-40 pounds, unfortunately by the end of the day the pack felt like there had been a midget added to its contents. My legs stopped working and I had to really push myself to keep skiing. I only had one minor spill and i supposedly made an awesome save, keeping the flash dry and safe, while sliding down spanky's ladder on my back. Sage, Ingrid and Ian are some of the nicest most welcoming people you'll ever meet and they all sent it huge!! We did a couple laps of Spanky's, shot a few cliff drops and Adam did his job very well and got a ton of killer shots. The day was one of the best days I've ever had, let alone one of the best shredding days in whistler. Thanks guys for an amazing experience I learned so much and had an awesome time! See ya!!

Nothing Happening

So not much has been happening lately in my world so I haven't updated the blog but soon my life will be filled with interesting stuff to talk about. Last sunday I went skiing with a few buddies, threw down the first backflip of the season and tried a new trick. This trick was a rodeo 5, didn't work out too well, but I promise that it will happen by the end of the season and i'll get video and a photo to prove it! I would have brought my camera up the mountain with me but it was crazy foggy so there was really no point. This season I'm hoping to have some pretty solid shots, maybe a mag cover or something along those lines and hopefully I'll actually get a job! So if you have stopped checking the blog because I took so damn long to update it then I'm awfully sorry and by the time the rain stops on grouse you can expect new shots every few days...or once a week at the least. Give me a shout if you have any ideas for this blog. Bye Bye!...oh here's a few shots of Trevor Robson for photo class:

2 events 1 day

I was out at UBC yesterday taking pictures for two events at the same time and on the same day. You would think that would be pretty hectic but it really wasn't I just didn't have much time to properly set up and I didn't have all the gear I needed. None the less, I got some ok shots but not the best ones possible. The two events were the Redbull UBC rail Jam and the other was a research presentation day for the medical students. My friend Jess who was helping me out with what i had to do at the medical thing was really nice and helped me get everything done really quickly so that I had time to go shoot the Rail Jam. I had fun and got some ok shots here's some of the best from both events. As I said before, I didn't have all the proper gear so I couldn't take the best pictures possible and I had no time to set up flashes and such at the rail jam. Here's what I got:
