Fawcett Photo Design

High Cascade Photo Workshop and Trevor Graves invited me to present my history of snowboarding photo slideshow again this summer at Government Camp, OR. Here it is in case you missed it.

Ken Achenbach on the cover of Int’l Snowboard Magazine – January 1987

Another classic issue of ISM with Ken Achenbach leading the tour of Mt. Bachelor as well as the first ballsy board test by Tom Hsieh and the crew of ISM. “This was the friskiest board tested, the Barfoot was as loose as a goose. Well who can forget those comments from the original board test. And of course the bonus of this issue was the one and only Keith Kimmel interview, not to be missed. This issue closes with a classic ad of Shaun Palmer on the back cover.

Check out the full magazine on my issuu homepage.

Jamie Johnston, Chuck Barfoot, and Brian Judge at Carson Pass, Lake Tahoe, 1984

My first day of snowboarding was quite a challenge not even considering the camera equipment in a fanny pack on my ass. Chuck, Jamie, Brian and I hiked the flats at Carson Pass to reach a small ridgeline where the snow was fresh. Many failed
attempts that day at turning which made me want to try even harder on another.

Jamie had some good turns going. See the non-highback bindings and rubber surf leash … He inspired me to try again!
