Sometimes skiing has a way of sneaking up on you. I got home from work around 8 focused solely on making dinner, drinking a beer and calling it a night in preparation for getting up super early to make the trek to Mount Washington. I’d been up there a number of years ago during the summer, [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/00/61/86/6186.jpeg[/IMG]
Couple photos from the weekend before last. Snow wasn’t so great, so we built a ridiculous road gap for Adam to hit. Something like 50 feet point to point, which involved an absolutely retarded run in through a drainage ditch combined with a tow in from Canadian Chris in his Pathfinder to clear. The jump [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/00/31/67/3167.jpeg[/IMG]
I love listening to VPR. I feel like I get smarter every time I do. Like tonight on the way home, listening to a story about a lexicographer who is re-designing the modern dictionary as we know it. She is working on a social dictionary, where the definition of words can be combined with metadata [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/00/23/99/2399.jpeg[/IMG]
(There’s some color profile and size issues going on with my exported images right now, I’m going to fix this in place in the next day or two) Adam getting after it somewhere at Jay. Nice, fluffy, deepness. I was having camera issues all day, focus not working right, batteries crapping out on me, and then the [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/00/21/40/2140.jpeg[/IMG]
Fun morning, not bad for a workday AM. Super super grey morning, super noisy photo….. whatever. It was fun. Hopefully next time we get up there it’ll be sunny in the morning and I won’t have to go 1000iso. Note for 2010: expect the blog to be functional again, and to have my site done. It’s [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/00/19/56/1956.jpeg[/IMG]
So I’ve been busy. Really busy. I’ve been traveling quite a bit, shooting a variety of images for my senior project, while also holding down a full college schedule (minus the art history class…… oops.) I’ve met a bunch of new friends in my travels, skiied a bunch, shot a bunch, and now it’s totally crunch [...]
December’s been nuts. I barely shook off the food coma from Thanksgiving before I was back on the road…… I think I’ve racked up over 4,000 miles this month alone. Within the past 3 weeks, I’ve been from Rochester to: Albany > Jay Peak > Albany > Rochester for a week > Albany > Mount Snow [...]
Not even 9am yet, but this really brightened my day.
Got up to Mt. Snow Last weekend to do some shooting with the boys from home. I met up with Evan Grott, Mike Konderwich, and Tom Seymour to get some shredding and some shooting done. The new all-park Carinthia looks like it’s going to shape up to be a great addition to the east coast [...]
I’m going to be spending the next couple of weeks working with the Balloon Manor crew, doing panoramas, some on-site journalism, and possibly a remote time-lapse rig. Looks like a pretty interesting installation, I’m excited to get out and flex my VR panorama muscles once again!
I stumbled upon an abandonded ski resort yesterday called Highmount, turns out it’s a stone’s throw from Bellayre Mtn. (We’re in the western part of the Catskills, of upstate NY, for those of you who don’t know) http://atlas.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?searchtype=address&formtype=address&latlongtype=decimal&latitude=42.13589&longitude=-74.52371 , zoom in and go to aerial image to see it. This is an excerpt of one panorama I [...]
So, I broke down, and did it. This is a blog. Attached to my name. Dear god what have I done…………
First time on snow this season, broke out the new Pocket Wizards and shot this. Overall not too bad for first time out with the new flash rig.
Rider: Jessa Gilbert Took another trip up to Mount Snow today, got some shooting done early before the weather and the snowguns kicked in. Big thanks to the guys at Mt. Snow for us up, definitely saved the day.
Shot this last weekend at the Windham spring rail jam, 2nd year in a row showing up to that one. I’m back in town (home), finally got the car fixed, and finally have some free time. w00t!
I did! Cliche as it may be, I got bored and Googled myself. Besides being, well, me…… I’m: (none of these below are actually me, mind you) A DJ http://www.last.fm/music/Ian+Ray A Software Specialist in Finland: http://www.linkedin.com/in/ianray A Timex Sponsored Runner: http://teamtimex.timexblogs.com/2006/06/12/ian-ray/ An author: http://www.bookfinder.com/author/ian-ray/ A Structural Engineer: http://www.naymz.com/search/ian/ray/241583 And ironically a Designer/Photographer: (who has the site I originally tried to register for) http://ianray.com/ (NOT me!) Who are you?
Supposedly, this should show up in my NS blog too! So consider it a test. In other news, I’ve been really busy working. Hopefully some updates to come in a week or two.
