As i mentioned in my previous post Kumi Yama had a photography contest included in it this year. Alongside my other work i also took part in the competition and now the results are online for people to see.

We had to submit four images depicting different themes; Rising Sun, Reflections, Gang Spirit and Pixel V’s HD. The first three images had to be presented digitally untouched as they were shot (which makes me rather sceptic of some of the other entries) where the final image was up to our interpretation.

The voting process is done by the public which makes it feel a little like a popularity contest with the largest number of Facebook friends having a certain heavy influence on the outcome. Regardless of that fact here are my four submitted images.

Rising Sun. Pretty simple shot of Japanese skier Kentaro Tsuda on the kicker.

This weekend was my third visit to Les Deux Alpes for the annual Kumiyama event. As with previous years this Ski, Snowboard and Photography competition was Japanese themed and it carried so much more significance after this years earthquake back in March.

As with all the other years, this one was so much fun and a great success. I blogged about event over on the ESPN Freeskiing blog which you can check out and also took part in the photo competition, which i’ll give you more details about over the coming days.

Until then remember the motto, WE RIDE FOR JAPAN!!!!!

A few things to take into consideration when thinking about snowboarding in the summer:

1. You have to consider what to Wear. Yuya was along the right lines but Kiichi thought he was going surfing.
