Putting in at the Lake Washington Rowing Club dock. Seattle, WA.

Two Singles, Sculling. Seattle WA.

Rowing in a Double. Seattle, WA.

Sculling in a Single. Seattle, WA.

There are only few things that I wake up for at 5am:

1. Getting first tracks on fresh powder.

2. Attempting a summit while mountaineering.

3. Shooting images of rowing.

Today I met with the wonderful people at Pocock Racing Shells (as well as Chip Davis, the head of Rowing News,) down at Lake Washington, to go out on the skiff and shoot new rowing images.

The weather was much improved over the dark dreary early morning shoots that I did last September.

This time I could wear a t-shirt and actually see well enough to manually focus

I’ll be going out on the skiff as much as possible this summer as I create more unique rowing imagery as well as a few short HD videos about Pocock and the rowing lifestyle.

I’m really looking forward to it!

(too bad I don’t actually know HOW to row, maybe after I master my mountaineering skills?)
