OK, so first you have to enlist the aid of a Crash Test Dummy in order to ensure that you’re where you want to be with lighting, etc. Yours truly fills in quite admirably while Cody clicks the shutter.

Long story short: shooting a number of images for the Grafton Ponds Nordic Center. Today: snowhoe/wine/cheese event; not hard to like. On the descent everyone starts flying down through the woods, Ryan included. He crashes, flash goes… where? Thankfully, it was on radio control at the time so we were able to traced it, finding it under about a foot snow. Very funny.

Working on a book for Kim and Tim O’Connor, and in the process came across this image. Something about it really resonates with me, maybe that combination of slightly posed and spontaneous; I don’t know. Great couple, really fun wedding (say that a lot, but it’s true!) and always fun to revisit the experience by putting together a book or two. I’ll post some sample pages once they’re done. It’s difficult sometimes to explain the book thing over the phone, and clients – or potential clients – tell me that they get a better sense of how things might look when we post a page or two. Makes perfect sense, and it’s something we’ll do from time to time. mtc… Herve
OK, so what’s with cyclocross? Well, it’s just that: a cross between mountain biking and road racing. Competitors zip around a closed course for about 40 minutes or so, uphill, downhill, bikes on shoulders at times, scurrying up steep hills or over steeple chase-like obstacles. No rain/snow today (good for racers, a little less exciting for photog types.) Lots of racers out for this event, sponsored by our friends at the West Hill Shop.
