Club Of The Waves speaks with Australian surf photographer Trent Mitchell about subject matter, still shooting film, favorite travel locales, and his evolving fascination with the sport:
“…I rode waves long before I loved riding them. It was maybe after a couple of years until I really did love it. Maybe when I was 14/15. It could have been a few sessions out a local reef break, where you kind of weightlessly draw lines into the tube every wave. It was not big, but hollow for the size and I really remember being addicted to that weightless millisecond and going fast with a lip pitching over your head.”
Homage to the early days of skiing: photographer/skier Dave Heath’s slideshow submitted to Kootenay Mountain Culture Magazine for The Gathering at Red Mountain (Rossland, B.C.)– “a three-day photo/film shred fest attracting some of the ski industries most talented people…”
Photographer/noboarder (snowboarding without bindings) Jenna Low’s slideshow submitted to Kootenay Mountain Culture Magazine’s photo face-off. KMC describes Jenna’s documentary work this way: “She lives up in the tiny outpost settlement of Trout Lake, where noboarders inhabit turn of the century hotels and shred some of the deepest, character-laden powder in the Kootenays.”
Hawgs in the tunnel: Urban carp fishing isn’t for the feint of heart. Russ Miller, Will Rice, and Field & Stream photographer/blogger Tim Romano chase Hoovering lips on a section of Denver’s South Platte River. Black Wooly Buggers, muck boots (sewage effluent protection), mountain bikes, and an open mind required.
The Kootenay Rockies region comprises the southeastern portion of British Columbia–and longtime outdoor photographer Dave Heath and borderline cartoonist Steve Evangelatos created this photo/cartoon slideshow to highlight the area’s skiing characters and landscapes for Kootenay Mountain Culture Magazine.
