After spending the day in a couple of planes I was really happy to finally make it to Pittsburgh., PA.

This shot was actually inspired by a Shawn White AMEX magazine ad where he is captured mid-air over his hotel room bed wearing his snowboard.

To get this shot I set up my Canon 10D on the floor with a 6 second exposure, and then had my Olympus SW770 fire its flash with its timer in the dark. I had to jump at the right time to get the shot. I didn’t want to use the on-camera flash because I wanted my shadow to help define the space, but I don’t yet have a separate flash unit – so the Olympus filled in.

Sorry about the goofy smile!
