Hotham September 09

Stuzo with a little pile of snow.

Hold onto your scrotums, or comparable woman's parts, 2nd update in a week!!!

A couple of weeks ago, young gun Timmy Laidlaw asked if I was keen to shoot something at Hotham with him, so I assembled a mean posse and off we rolled. Along for the ride were blog frequenter Stu Macqueen and photography arch enemy Liam Kaska (we only hang out to sabotage each others' sessions). Already on the hill were a gang of Third Chapter heavies, including founder, the big Will Kendall, under the radar stunt extraordinaire Chris Eacott and kiwi transplant Ian Wallace. Look out Hotham, impromptu industry circus is in effect.

I found this while I was there, my first lightbox. Cheers Robbie.

No, that's not Christian Siriani , that's Timmy Laidlaw, teaching Stu some shit.

We had a good few days, hot spring weather and soft, fun snow in a deserted resort. After a bit of fun lapping Road Runner for two days straight, Stu and Timmy did a solid bit of labour to set up a feature they were keen to hit. I was pretty skeptical of whether it was on, but they showed me that I don't know shit and I should just shut up and make the pictures. They were definitely the first 2 to ever hit this feature, so hopefully you'll be seeing those in some pages next year. Nice work boys. Thanks for hitting it first Timmy. Kid's got some cojones!

A couple of specimens.

The finished product. Stay tuned for the outcome.

Liam, very unimpressed with my focusing efforts.

Media frenzy at Hotham, Liam making some (in-focus) pictures.

All that digging made the girls hungry.
