Last night I shot a photo booth gig at the Boardroom. It was for the launch of ARIES 2010 which is archiving some of the history of snowboarding. Over the last year Trevor Graves has been collecting pieces from a bunch of different people that were involved in the beginning of the sport. The range of gear, images, trophies and prototypes can’t even begin to be explained, it really is a remarkable collection of snowboarding culture. Dano showed some photos from the early days of his career and explained a little of Canada’s history in the snowboard world. He then introduced Terry Kidwell, with his invention of the kick tail and his skateboard style we can pretty much thank him for freestyle snowboarding. If you ever get a chance to view the collection don’t pass it up.

Kidwell quiver.


Images from the ages.


Boots from the beginning to now.

Lately Dano has been on a tear. Between his blog the book he is about to release and his upcoming show this weekend at Blake Jorgenson's Gallery who knows what he is going to do next. If you're in town stop by and check it out and stay for the after party with two of Canada' s best, "Vinyl Ritchie" and his all 45's set, and the Alien and his next level turntable skills.
