We had a paint fight for my RZine class..yeah, yeah, art school I get it..either way it was fun to run around outside and throw paint(balls) at people instead of sitting in the labs staring at the computer..but it smelled horrible and I still had some in my ear when I got out of the shower..

I liked how all the different colors looked and I had some nice natural light coming through the window so I took a few photos.

Winter's Children

Excerpt from 01 Mag: During the winter of 2010, photographer, filmmaker, and former sponsored snowboarder, Jim Mangan, left an 11-year career in the business side of snowboarding and lit out for the remote backcountry of Idaho’s Sawtooth Mountains to recharge and redirect. Accompanying him were seven accomplished snowboarders including his college friend, Peter Sutherland, now a renowned photographer and artist, as well as rising stars of the sport’s next generation, like Laura Hadar and Alex Andrews. Away from the corporate sponsors, the perfectly manicured terrain parks and halfpipes, and the ever-present audience, the riders literally stripped away all artifice along with their clothing in a powerful artistic statement that honors the original roots of the sport.

Using vintage snowboards from the early 1980s, and clad only in vibrant Native American blankets that contrast with the stark winter landscape, the seven riders soared naked and uninhibited down empty slopes. Mangan captures not just the action, but the unfolding of emotion on intentionally grainy 35 mm film that reflects the ethos of snowboarding’s early years. “As I exited the snowboarding business, I wanted to recreate the feelings that originally drew me to the sport,” explains Mangan. “This project is an exaggerated overstatement of those feelings.”

Get Some

New Lykke Li single. Good song, though I need to hear it loud and in the car before I can truly say I've heard it. I really like the ink and gold in the video..so spaaarkly and preeetty.
