Beth & Jeff

I thought I’d post some photos of our good friends Beth & Jeff.  We shot these this past fall.  Laura and I were running late and we were just able to jump into the car drive to a local golf course and then run down to the train tracks as we chased the last little bit of golden light as it set under the treeline.

Beth is also very talented and has been helping me with some neat things that I’m excited to share in the near future.  Stay tuned!

A new sport?

I spent Saturday on the frozen ice of Hiniker Pond in Mankato, Mn for Red Bull’s Open Ice.  Sitting on a shovel on a frozen pond….not warm.  If you like to play pick-up hockey there are events planned for each weekend until the end of February.  You do not need to have a team to come out and play just bring your skates and a helmet and you can get in on the friendly action.  Check the website for details.

Thanks to Laura for the photo 🙂

Red Bull Open Ice

The game was once pure. Without cushy indoor arenas. Without concession stands selling year-old licorice. Without the steady drone of Euro-techno music.

We’re taking hockey back. To the frozen pond. Where players can experience the roots of the game. Where pur skill takes center stage. And where yetis make fresh kills in the background.

It’s called Red Bull Open Ice. And it’s a two month open invitation to participate in this beautiful game. Want more? We’re wrapping up winter with a 2-day tournament at the end of February. yes, the hockey gods would be proud.
