Whitewater King of New York Moose race featured on Canoe and Kayak Blog

I had the opportunity to photograph the Whitewater Kings of New York Moose Race this past weekend. What a race, certainly one of the more exciting races I have shot. Too bad the crowd was at Ager falls instead of at Crystal where all the action happened. Click--> Here is a great write up by Matt Young.

The pass. Jared Seiler passes Justin Beckwith for the title.

Out Take from a Shoot with Tyler Curtis on the Ottawa

An out take from a very productive shoot with Pro Kayaker Tyler Curtis.
I read a quote this week which reads: " Extra effort always turns simple things into magic"
This quote really made me think of this shot. Every though we scored with some other great images from the shoot, this shot is simple, Tyler's wave wheel is a very simple down river freestyle move. Ha! the wave wheel was invented and perfected years ago, but Tyler is putting effort into waking up at sunrise with me to go shoot. I was standing belly button deep in the water, trying not to get my gear wet.

On another note I will be kayaking the Grand Canyon in Jan, stay tuned for more images and stories to come.
