France Trip, random shots

Lift chaos in Avoriaz

Advertising

Baguette and Snowboard, just so you know you’re in France…

day at the beach

we had a great day at the beach before we returned to our mission on the mountain. do i have to mention that we got powder for the next day?

driving through france

expensive and sucks but was necessary for us to get to the pyrenees – a very unique place where the mountains and the coast are close. if you get it good, you can have powder and waves the same day.

that s me, one thump up

sani, toll road of course

christophe, radical.

Al Gore – new slideshow

The TED Talks are really great in general, but you have to see Al Gore giving his new (2008) slideshow (premiering) at TED. Nobel Peace Prize winner, Al Gore presents evidence that the pace of climate change may be even worse than scientists were recently predicting, and challenges us to act with a sense of “generational mission” — the kind of feeling that brought forth the civil rights movement — to set it right. Gore’s stirring presentation is followed by a Q&A in which he is asked for his verdict on the current political candidates’ climate policies and on what role he himself might play in future. (Recorded March 2008 in Monterey, California. Duration: 27:54.)

France

Went to Avoriaz for the Burton shoot and then to Cauterets for the Blank Paper shoot.

arriving late in Avoriaz sucks. You have to drag your stuff all the way through the town…

this is at 3am after following signs like “toutes direction” or “autres direction”, you can choose. could someone buy the french a bunch of signs that actually tell you where you re going?

on the other side, shooting late night in Avoriaz is fun, 1 am

playgrounds

Playgrounds can be unbelieveable boring… here are two great examples. One in France and one at the Denver Airport.

Taco Bell photo shoot

This thing already appeared in some blogs, it’s fun so I “reblog” it for you. Go to: http://www.directdaniella.com/ and you can shoot with Daniella Sarahyba and download your photos afterwards. Here’s my shot:

the first hit

that’s where you’ll find the media crowd…Some impressions from the famous first hit of the pipe contest of the Vans Cup in Northstar at Tahoe.  

tear down this wall

well almost… blasting the AGFA building in Munich But the hectic people kinda reminded me on scenes when the berlin wall came down.<p> <p>somewhere in there, my friend Sami Tuoriniemi who got some amazing photos of the building coming down. Actually he wanted to shoot it on AGFA film, but I think he ran out of it or something… too bad but too late (as well for AGFA) <p> the smoke is coming in, a good time to turn arround and go home or close your window now if you could watch it from your home
