What a day in Breck at the men and women's snowboard half pipe finals! Man can these riders fly. After the short but helluva hike up to the pipe and fingers well on their way to freezing, the sun providing us a bit of warmth, it was time to catch the action in the pipe. The best way to describe it is with pics, so check these out and pretend you are flying with em.<br /><br />Gretchen Bleiler, Kelly Clark, and Elena Hight captured 1st, 2nd, and 3rd respectively and Danny Davis, Shaun White, and Scotty Lago captured the titles for men's finals.<br /><br />After getting a few autographs and some great pics of my youngest son with Gretchen Bleiler and Danny Davis (compliments of my husband, the one and only, Ken Pishna) sorting thru the pics and catching a run on my own board, I'd say it was a day well done!<br /><br />One last note - walking thru Breck tonight, who did we run into but the famous Shaun White himself, Indian head dress and all - no kidding on the head dress thing! No pictures allowed and I didn't even get a chance to sneak one, but it was pretty cool to see him out and about just being a typical snowboard freak!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.pishnaphoto.com/blog/uploaded_images/IMG_3649OwenGretchen-707298.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="http://www.pishnaphoto.com/blog/uploaded_images/IMG_3649OwenGretchen-707237.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Enjoy and see ya!

It's the first day of the Winter Dew Tour for me and snowing like crazy!! I did manage to grab a few shots before the blowing snow cancelled the rest of the day's events. Here are a handful for your viewing pleasure and then be sure to check out www.pishnastockphotos.com in the next couple of weeks.<br /><br />The photos here are from the snowboard pipe women's open qualifier and the men's practice.<br /><br />Keep checking back here at the blog - slopestyle event is tomorrow and the finals of the superpipe will be amazing.<br /><br />I personally think these riders are insane - but maybe I'm a bit jealous that I never learned to fly.Pishna Photohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02780812334722152971april@pishnaphoto.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2503446256506478457.post-5052544552274529732008-12-12T15:04:00.003-07:002008-12-13T18:43:19.199-07:00Keep your eyes on this blog - there will be plenty of thoughts and pix on MMA and snowboarding. And speakin' of: the Winter Dew Tour is coming to Breckenridge, Colorado December 28-21, 2008 and I plan on being there with camera in hand to capture the likes of Shaun White, Gretchen Bleiler, Danny Kass, Mason Aguirre, Lindsey Jacobellis, and many more!Pishna Photohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02780812334722152971april@pishnaphoto.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2503446256506478457.post-60279384122588813602008-12-12T11:19:00.002-07:002008-12-12T11:36:49.423-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.pishnaphoto.com/blog/uploaded_images/DSC_2406_2B-762710.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="http://www.pishnaphoto.com/blog/uploaded_images/DSC_2406_2B-762682.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>This is Cassie (doberman) and Peaches - what an adventure to try to get the two of these to sit still for a shot together! They were the cutest things and very sweet but it would have been easier trying to take pictures of two 2-year olds who just learned that their legs can make them run, not simply just walk =) I love this photo - Cassie is very obviously wondering what she has done to deserve this camera torture.Pishna Photohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02780812334722152971april@pishnaphoto.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2503446256506478457.post-63599725675583338902008-12-12T10:43:00.002-07:002008-12-12T10:49:36.931-07:00So I guess this better be a great post to keep you all entertained as this is my very first one on my brand new blog. Have fun on this journey with me as I fight to build my business: photography, personal satisfaction, inner peace, and all the crazy turmoil of life.Pishna Photohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02780812334722152971april@pishnaphoto.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2503446256506478457.post-11042828315929164152008-12-11T07:36:00.004-07:002008-12-11T09:45:22.249-07:00This is a blog post.
