The Teton range began rising about 10 million years ago. It was a pleasure to visit them a few years back with my 4x5 large format camera. . . . . . #grandtetonnationalpark #thetetons #zonevistudios #kodakportra #madewithkodak #filmphotography #filmphotographic #heyfsc #largeformatphotography (at Jackson Hole, Wyoming) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpUlR2cBPLI/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=u8t0tghig9m7

Friday night digging in the crates. Corentin "Coco" Leroy got absolutely barrelled on this steep face in Chamonix in 2012. Pow doesn't get much more blower than this. . . . . . #chamonix #snowboarding #blowerpow #powder #barrelled #snowboard #snowboarder @mc_cocoleroy @chamonixmontblanc (at Chamonix, France) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpJHGXGhhCR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=18hekplmg5a83

A long lost shot of Thomas Theberge from an old hard drive. Great times were had in Méribel, France building this jump in the sun with shirts off and €0.38 tall boys of Brauperle beer. We visited this spot several times and Thom and P.A. Chedal and spun huge tricks over this flat gap onto a steep landing out of frame. @archiski were you here too? . . . . . @meribel3vallees @thebergethomas @akchech #méribel #france #backcountrybooter #skiphotography #skiing #bigair #alps #lesalpes #skiordie #mooncrew (at Méribel, Coeur des 3 Vallées) https://www.instagram.com/p/BowqdHZhjvV/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ju94xvm783up

This was a great day in Méribel France. @thebergethomas and @julienlange led the mission to this backcountry spot where we finished shaping this booter which they had been working on. The rock gap was gnarly and they had to jump extra far to avoid any rocks hidden under the snow. The fairly flat landing added an extra element of gnar as fairly. I set up on a steep sun baked slope hoping the snow wouldn't heat up enough to start an avalanche. This was a double page spread in the major French ski magazine @skieurmagazine. Days like this will always be some of the best days of my life. . . . . . . #skiing #booter #skiordie #meribel #les3vallees #france #backcountrybooter #lesalpes #skiphotography #canmorephotographer (at Méribel, Coeur des 3 Vallées) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bor2Az6hBOe/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=9v5y659nb8xw

February in Paris was the greatest. It was like autumn weather in Canada and tourists were minimal. I took the overnight train from Meribel and headed straight to the art gallery by the Eiffel Tower to catch what might be the most glorious sunrise of my life so far. #lifehammers #nofilter #streetphotography #paris #france #sunrise #latoureiffel #eiffeltower #nikon (at Eiffel Tower, Paris)

Another angle from the perfect jump session in Val Thorens in 2010. Lao Chazelas @archiski was going huge with the sickest style, as per usual. @val_thorens #mooncrew #valthorens #france #skiordie #bigair #lesalpes #skilife (at Val Thorens)

Flashback to 2010 in France. This was the first day I met Thomas Theberge. We shot some cliffs in Meribel then skied to Val Thorens for this perfect jump session. I still remember it so vividly and some of the french hip hop songs that were being dj'd are now my favourites. @val_thorens @meribel3vallees #mooncrew #perfectjump #bigair #skiordie #lesalpes #france (at Rhône-Alpes, France)

It's so sad that @campofchampions was forced to shut down due to climate change. This is the legend @sammycarlson1 shredding this rail in 2010. @oakleyskiing @rockstarenergy (at Whistler Blackcomb)

It was so much fun camping out and shooting this canoeing, mountain biking, trail running and navigational challenge. Here's fierce competitor @naomster7 celebrating in style at the finish line. @kanadventurerace @pabstblueribbon #kanadventurerace #kanadventurerace2017 (at Kananaskis Country)

I look forward to photographing huge mountain vistas again when the smokey forest fire air clears up. It's been the worst year on record for forest fires in western Canada. For now though, I've been hiking to stay in shape and see what else catches my eye. This is Sheep Cinquefoil, in the shape of a heart, high up on a cliff overlooking the Elbow River. #wildflowers #SheepCinquefoil #PotentillaOvina #nikon #alberta #canada #love (at Kananaskis Country)

Getting a jump start on my old man endeavor of flower photography. I've been teaching kids nature photography this summer and have taken a few moments to make my own photographs. #nikon #macro #wildflowers #alberta #canada #kananaskis #flowerphotography (at Kananaskis Country)
