Mike Ranquet. A method in the storm. 1996.

Collection

Snowboarding's Golden Era

Description

It’s pretty rare that I took a camera up the mountain on a stormy powder day in the 90s. First of all, it was pretty much impossible to get anyone to stop long enough to set up a photo and second of all it was pretty unlikely that I would either get a decent photo or that the photo would ever run. So this shot of Mike has become one of my favourites. This was taken on Whistler, on Seppos I think, and I also think we were riding with Bas that day. I would have taken a really small kit, probably one lens and a body, and worn it inside my jacket. Honestly, it’s not fun to ride like that and the risk to the camera is pretty high, but I guess a visit from out Washington friends made it worth it. This is just 100% classic northwest snowboarding, with Ranquet’s super skate style popping a perfect method between some trees. Some photos just take you right into a moment. This NFT comes with an unlockable file to print a 12x18 version of the photo as well as instructions for the best practices for printing. This ensures that if the NFT sells to a new user, they will also get the add-on value.
