Every year, Snowboarders go on lengthy trips and travels that seem to be built around capturing a few single moments hailing the moves that make up their video parts after countless hours of riding. These action images are captured and highlighted throughout the pages of magazines without ever really taking much note of what goes into making them happen.

Over the past few years I've shifted my focus to capturing more of what really goes into making these images.

This series is about the journey to those moments, the roads that get us there, the in-between, the hard work, the blood, sweat, determination, and the dedication that is the life of a snowboarder and “Getting the Shot”­— what leads up to those moments is the true blood of what we do.

Shot entirely on 35mm and 120mm film.
