crash

We waited in the clouds for hours yesterday. When
the sun finally peaked through, it had mostly left
the jump we were set up on. Ejack hit it anyway,
went way, way too far, and punched his board. I'm
pretty sure he kneed himself in the eye too. Here
he is describing the crash...

What a
crazy couple of weeks. Spent a really expensive
week in Terrace, BC, with Standard
Films,
at Northern Escape
Heli. We
had one day that will be one of the best of the
season, and a whole bunch that were much less
productive. It was hard to come into a scene
where they had just shot 9 out of 12 days and
end up getting much less done, but that’s the
nature of things.
Things I (re)learned on this trip:
- I can survive without a cell phone. (barely)
- Two is not the magic number when it comes to photographers.
- All is never what it seems.
- Talent isn’t always the most important thing.
- Helicopters are as cool as they are expensive.
- Sometimes a big dumb jump is a big dumb waste of time.
ejack is stoked on the snow
a big dumb jump to nowhere.
this is why
So I got home, had time for a deep breath, and dropped into some sled days with Absinthe films. The day before the sun came out my phone rang off the hook with people looking for a shooter. If only I could clone myself and work with everyone.
JP Solberg and Romain de Marchi had spent a weather day out in the middle of nowhere, building a couple jumps, so when the sun came out we were ready to go. Not everything worked out, but one jump in particular was amazing.
this shot won't make the cut, but you can see what a lovely day we had.
Annie Boulanger and I did the commute in her truck every morning and she did a couple of lines that were really impressive. It is hard for a girl out there in testosterone land and Annie has proven herself over the years. She is no joke.
So now I’m processing and editing a million shots and watching the weather, planning the next attack. In the meantime T has made huge gains in the battle to make our apartment into a home. I love this place. I would be perfectly happy to shoot portraits on the huge patio all spring long. Ya, right.
