Hill Life

Unlike still life photography, Hill Life leaves no time to ponder a subject. Hill Life reveals itself for merely a few seconds before disappearing just as quickly. The angle of the light will change. The skier emerges from the snow. The action is over. You must be ready. If you miss a moment of Hill Life, it’s gone forever.

    Beautiful stuff as usual Greg.

    Checking on FIS after some snow dropped last weekend. Saw pics of ramp sliders at JSC Thursday night on FB. Don’t suppose you were there? Will routinely check FIS as season progresses. Keep posting. Tx
