Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n

I had a very important job this weekend at the annual Gatineau Loppet<\/a> – Canada’s entry in the World Loppet ski events<\/a>. I was head of cheering for my wife and a friend who were racing. While cheering I brought my equipment to document the event.<\/p>\n

Many years ago (1993) I got my start in photography in Canmore and Banff Alberta. I found myself a job photographing portraits of tourists at the top of Sunshine Village ski resort<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This lead into covering races and events at the resort and the Canmore Nordic Centre<\/a> – home of Olympic Cross Country skiing in 1988. I covered World Cup and other less prestigious events. Very fun.<\/p>\n

Earning $ covering these types of events nowadays is tough as budgets are small and there are many organizations offering photo services at low, low prices. I pursue better paying jobs now – hence head cheerleader.<\/p>\n

Enjoy a small selection of our work from The Gatineau Loppet’s classic races shot mostly from part way up the punishing Penguin Hill. Questions? Anytime!<\/p>\n
