I guess this is sort of news. Although, it seems this sections is really only about unsubstantiated rumors and not so much news. So we can pretend that this has yet to be confirmed if everyone wants!
I have been selected to be one of the few photographers for the
Teva Mountain Games in Vail, CO. I will particularly be in charge of shooting the paddle sports events and the Bouldering World Cup. This event is a big deal in the outdoor sports community and draws a lot of top caliber and pro athletes. Especially the World Cup, which is one of the biggest climbing competition events in the world. I will also be a
judge for their annual photo competition that they do at the event.
I'm super excited to be shooting this event for the Vail Valley Foundation, which is who puts it on. I've known about this for a while, but just realized that maybe it's at least a bit newsworthy. I hope that by seeing a Pentax on the front lines of a sporting event, maybe some people will take a closer and less biased look at the brand.
For more info, you can check out the
blog post announcement I made a while back, and the
follow up post to that. Thanks everyone, and wish me luck!
