Some screen grabs from a video I did for Yukon Tourism Industry Association's annual meeting. Sounds like there'll be some pretty cool stuff happening in 2013!
Yukon Tourism Video
SimaPalooza
Back when I used to snowboard regularly, someone was considered super good if they could do something like a 540º. It seems the bar has risen slightly in the last decade or so.
Here's some slow-mo footage taken from this year's SimaPalooza.
Breath of Life Yoga Studio
These days I'm about as flexible as a frozen rubber band and a recent shoot for Breath of Life yoga studio made me quite aware of this fact. I wasn't always this way, in university during soccer season I could actually touch my toes, now I'm lucky to reach my shins. In any case, this shoot (and the post shoot soreness) has inspired me to do more stretching, and meditation...maybe I should just attend some of their classes.

Peel Watershed Promo
Last summer I was invited to join a group of Artists on a 17 day adventure which took us down the Wind River in Yukon's Peel Watershed. Needless to say, it was an epic trip. Here's a video I put together to help them promote a recent show in support of protecting the watershed from exploration companies. (More info in a previous blog post).

Yukon Quest 2013
At 1,000 miles, the Yukon Quest is considered the longest sled dog race in the world. The trail follows the historical Gold Rush and mail delivery dog sled routes from the turn of the 20th Century. I grew up watching the launch of the Quest every odd year (the start rotates between Whitehorse or Fairbanks), and I remember the excitement and energy as the dogs would be rearing to go. This year I managed to capture the flying snow, endless barking, and drool at 240 fps in full HD. Will post the short video here soon but in the meantime, enjoy these screen grabs!
