chasing bears

A winter highlight is always shooting the annual Great Bear Chase Ski Marathon up at the amazing Swedetown Trails in Calumet. As always, we get to be reminded how un-athletic we are, and this is especially true for this race which is a community event with a very wide demographic. It's always great to see so many familiar faces - albeit sweating and often pained-looking familiar faces... Special thanks to occasional assistant, helper, and multiple workshop attendee Rob Hill who took his training and an arsenal of Brockit gear and shot this event while photog #1 was on a redeye back from the West Coast. Race notes, photog tips, practice, and preparation aside - Rob nailed this race - aided by the gorgeous Lori Hannula. A shout-out also to Angela Luskin who always lines this up for us. It's a pleasure to work this race which we've been consistently shooting for the last decade at least. All photos are up in the gallery and available for purchase. Chronological order, and both digital and print copies as you please. Yay!
