This Winter has been awesome. Seems like Mother Nature is making it to us since last year she didn’t give us any snow. I have traveled a lot this Winter and more than I ever did. I got to meet a lot of people and see a lot of cool things. Here are some photos since the Transworld TransAM at Powder Ridge, MN.
This was last stop for the Transworld Snowboarding TransAM at Keystone. This was by far my favorite stop and best day of riding for me the day before the contest.
I have been slacking on posting on here but also have been super busy. This winter has been a crazy one with no snow falling so I have been shooting some contest for Transworld Snowboarding Magazine and Snowboarder Mag. On top of that I have been busy with getting EAST Snowboard Mag going and getting content.
The season started off good with a storm that brought over a foot of snow to North Jersey. I headed up to Matty B’s house and went out to try to get some shots for EAST. At that point we all thought we were going to have a awesome season like the past two years but that didn’t happen. Fingers are still crossed for some more snow.
Our first issue EAST released December 5th and it surprised all of us on how many views and hype it got. It is a lot of fun having a magazine and learning and seeing how it all comes together. We are working on the next issue now that will look like it will be released March 1st.
I have been living in Pocono Lake, PA working at Big Boulder taking photos for their website and marketing. Shooting for Boulder is fun, I get to ride with my friends and shoot with them.
Since their is no snow I have been shooting some contest. Transworld brought me on to shoot the two east coast stops of the TransAM at Waterville Valley, NH and Mountain Creek, NJ. Being on those stops was a lot of fun and the crew was awesome. In between the two stops I headed over to Seven Springs with a crew to shooting the opening of The Streets. If you haven’t checked or heard what Seven Springs is doing then you need to check it out. We will have a feature in the next issue of EAST about The Streets. I also shot the Snowboarder Mag Superpass at Mountain Creek for Snowboarder Mag this past Sunday.
Over all this winter I have keeping myself busy and trying to get the best out of it. Keep an eye out for the next issue of EAST Snowboard Mag. Below is a gallery of photos from this season. You can also check out more photos and contest on www.eastsnowboardmag.com.
I have been using Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 for all post production work. I recently got Adobe Photoshop CS3 and I been messing around with it today. Here is my fist little Photoshop project.

February was a really busy month and it flew by. I had to shoot events every weekend at Big Boulder PARK and went out on rail missions during the week.
The month started off with the Eastern Snowboard League stop number two at Big Boulder PARK. The weather wasn’t on our side for this but it turned out to be really fun. With the rain and heavy fog the riders still sent it and made the best of it.

The next weekend Big Boulder PARK hosted a rail jam at Drinkys Bar in Easton, PA. With Red Bull and many other sponsors, the rail jam was a huge event for being the first annual rail jam. The whole city seems like it got shut down for the event. The streets were packed with people and everyone was hyped on the fact that snowboarding was going down in their city. The after party was alittle crazy and super fun. Drinkys put on a epic time and big thanks to everyone from the bar for the hook up!

With no events during the week I headed out for a few rail missions with Nick Sappio, Dom Luza, Kyle Luza, Jayell White, Louie Hanft, Peter Pape, and Trip Brown. Wasn’t the best missions but you can’t always win. We did find some prime spots but just need some more snow. We only got kicked out once and that was as soon we got set up. Yes it sucked but we will be back to get the shot with Nick Sappio! I can’t post that many photos from the missions but here are a few.

The third weekend the Red Bull Butter Cup came to Big Boulder PARK. The temps were in the 60’s and the sun was out. Ian Oliver and Johnny Lighting along with park crew set up a unique Butter Cup set up. It turned out really well and all the riders were stoked on the it., maybe a new standard for the Butter Cup? You can check out the recap on Snowboarder Mag website with my photos.

I ended the month off shooting the Buckmans Boulder Bash at Big Boulder PARK. With $5,000 in purse prize all the kids came out. The course was on point and Johnny killed it again with the setup.
