Thunder Head
Driving down from Breckenridge to Durango yesterday, when I hit the San Luis Valley I stated seeing a ton of smoke. I thought this was probably from the fires in New Mexico, but later found out it was most likely from a fire called "The Little Sand Fire", burning north of Pagosa Springs, CO. I started to see the photo possibilities immediately while the smoke started to choke out the sun. As the sun got lower the scenes became even more dramatic. While I pulled over on a back road and started shooting into the sun I noticed this cloud brewing up behind me while I went to retrieve another lens out of my car. Before I knew it, this is what I was shooting and was no longer interested in the "into the sun" shot the other direction. You can see in the top of the frame, smoke, which adds another layer to this shot. It always amuses me how you sometimes end up shooting something you never expected or originally saw, but it ends up being the best shot of the day or trip.
Jibbin'
As usual and with most riders and shooter the season begins jibbing in the streets. My season actually stated real early in October. Both in the streets and on the hill. I rode Wolf Creek (see earlier post) like October 8th. The earliest I've ever ridden there. After I got my fix it was game on. I love the first shooting times of the year. Reminds you of the cold, and the suffering that goes into shooting and shreding. Kind of gets you prepared for the long winter ahead. Below area few shots from the first quarter of my winter shooting in the streets.

I was actually shooting with an Absinthe crew consisting of Bode Merrill and Johnnie Paxson this day but Phil Jacques and Parker Duke had a jump built right next to ours. They didn't have a photog so I literally stepped 15 over from where I was shooting with my crew and snapped this shot of Phil. Sometimes it just that easy...

Bikes
Over the past two summers I've really fallen in love with biking. Something about, its almost like snowboarding in a weird way. We had a pretty epic Indian Summer here in Colorado for most of September and October and got out quite a bit (not to mention all summer too!). I had never really shot much biking and decided with the fall colors in full swing it was time. Here's a few shots from a little afternoon session in late September.
