[::: :::]

^^^^i like the kid killing it in avy terrain with no beacon
or is he skiing sweep?

[SchralphMacchio]

can't see in the image but there is actually a Squaw Valley lift ticket hanging off that fartbag from 20 years ago. Best $4 ski outfit my buddy ever bought!

yo tengo unas ideas. yo no tengo el tiempo.

I do have the next four days off so hoping to get some shooting in, since the local bball team didn't end up making the tourney I won't be wasting as much time watching that...

[From_the_NEK]

Had to make some time but I was able to get my models to lie down last night for some photoslutting action

I have plans to turn these into a bar top someday.

I should have had my camera at Burke Sunday afternoon. The $25 Ski and Ride NEK Style ticket deal and the sunny 50 degree weather really brought some seriously old school setups and getups out of the attic.

Just realized I took a bunch of sled dog racing pictures on the 4th. Old School transportation.

this shot is surreal
flat light but good contrast
crisp foreground but severe foreshortening to blurry background
the tv looks almost photoshopped in, it's so crisp against the marquis

for me, it's all about the framed transition that makes this work - very nice

[BigDaddy]

Doesn't get more old school... (okay, maybe with a Polaroid):




Real old school... Earlywood and Superbros (apologies, Franny, but too bad it wasn't w/ your Buddhas!):



Old school five finned fiberglass relict from the early nineties that still rips:

[BigDaddy]

Tuckerman, I love the skimobile chair shot... It's a good pic, but I rode that bad boy many times! What a relict, now.

[uglymoney]

Splitter you have some nice furnishings. Nice pic.

Hey guys - I'm going to be out of town 'til Monday evening. Depending on how late it is and how tired I am when I get back, may not get the voting thread up 'til Tuesday. Just to let you know.
