It is going to be a busy weekend, folks… Despite the warm weather, all events are a go! Since when do we let the weather stop us in the Keweenaw, anyways?

With the 1st Annual CopperDog 150 sled dog race & the Great Bearchase X-country ski race, both starting in Calumet, you are going to be seeing our crew all across the map, as Brockit Inc. takes on the role as the ‘Official Photographer‘ for both events!

*** Check back here for gallery photos at the conclusion of the weekend’s races! ***

First: the CopperDog 150 consists of a 150-mile course and a 30-mile course. As of this blog post, there are over 30 teams racing! Sled dogs galore! For family-friendly viewing come out and support the 7pm start in downtown Calumet, this Friday, the 12th of March.

Next, Brockit has been shooting the Great Bearchase for years and always looks forward to it – seeing our friends fly by on fast skis is exhilarating! As always, this race is on the Swedetown trails and consists of a 26km classic, 26 & 50 freestyle, along with the Junior Bearchase for ages 5-16.

Hope to see you showing your support on Friday evening, March 12, for the Junior Bearchase & Saturday morning, the 13th, for the Great Bearchase. There is still time to register for both!

Wonderful Brockit clients – thank you so much for your business, your friendship, your support, patience, and loyalty! Without you, we’d just stand around taking pictures of ourselves!

Thank you to our hard-working crew of photographers, office staff, models, interns, and gear sherpas that make it all happen. A sincere Happy Holidays!

Ah – the KBC… We have a great relationship with the folks at the Keweenaw Brewing Co. and have been working with Dick & Paul and their lovely wives for a while now. Oh – and lets not forget their awesome pig-tailed manager, Christine Young, who not only hooks us up with races like the legendary ChainDrive, but hosts a permanent Brockit photo gallery in the KBC – how cool is that?! Seriously, the brewery is a great place, full of ecclectic folks, and strong, tasty beer. My 6-year old Kora calls the couch & fireplace area the ‘living room’ which is either really good, or really bad… We are working on a couple projects for the KBC, a set of studio shots of their cans, as well as a play-by-play of the brewing process which will result in a series of large format prints for display in a local museum and eventually the KBC walls. Some studio highlights and details below. Free beer if you can guess whose arms these are…
