Shop Talk: the story behind the photos, week 5

As previously stated, this feature is created in response to the questions and comments about our in store wall photos. Continuing on with our weekly blog feature, we bring you a little background on the behind the scenes of the photo from the snowboarder/photographer who brought us these epic photographs.

This weeks photo is of Sean Genovese doing a frontside 900, near Alyeska Alaska. This Photo was taken by Sean Hoglin.

Sean is a local Canadian pro snowboarder who spends most of his season travelling around chasing the snow in the lower 48 (the USA) and Alaska with the Think Thank productions crew. Not only is Sean a pro snowboarder but he is a true example of a DIY (do it yourself) snowboarder, he is part owner of the aforementioned Think Thank productions with legendary northwest shredder Jesse Burtner, and part owner of the local snowboard company Dinosaurs Will Die with Jeff Keenan.

This photo was taken on a Think Thank productions film trip to Alaska, the interesting part about this photo is that it was taken midday, and what looks like a cloud in the background is actually volcano ash from the eruption this past year. Soon after this photo was taken the sky went black from the ashes, so needless to say, no more shots were taken on that trip.

To see these shots check out this years Think Thanks release “Cool Story”

Stay tuned for next weeks “Story Behind The Photo”

If there is any interest in purchasing a copy of this or any of the other store photos, let us know and we will get you in touch with the photographer.
