For this assignment in my photojournalism class we had to capture an image of an honest emotion or relationship. I was up at the Mt. Baker Banked Slalom and decided to take my photos there. Camaraderie and smiles were abundant which made my job easy. I would have liked to find an image that was more raw, but it eluded me.

Professional snowboarder Kael Martin shares a laugh with a
fellow Mt. Baker Banked Slalom participant. “I love being in the mountains,”
Martin said, “its just a cool feeling.” Martin and three other professional
snowboarders are road tripping around North America in search of powder snow.
The crew is filming an “all inclusive ” snowboarding movie, the only
credentials to make the movie are a “positive attitude and a passion for Shred.”

Jasper man, the photos are great, and the smiles are great, but i imagine you, me, and John are all thinking the same thing when we see these, what is the relationship between the two other than the smile?
ReplyDeleteit's hard to tell, i would suggest remembering to look at the larger scene, how people are interacting with body language, not just their smiles and gazes.
i get that that's super tough, especially on that day it was so busy up there, but thats my two cents!
good job buddy, get in a personal post sometime soon too.
