A.E.LANDES PHOTOGRAPHY

When most people are enjoying their hot chocolate and fire inside, there are those who forgo conventional wisdom and play outside in the snow and dirt in Spandex. This was Plum Grove Cyclery’s Snotcycle 2010 out in Leesburg, VA (and no, I didn’t pick the name). The race went on as it snowed harder and harder, and by the time I was done photographing, my hands were no better than if they were made of wood. I threw on the flash for some snow-sparkling effects, and had a great time with Greg (another guy wanting to stand outside in the cold with a camera) along the way.

Here is a quick look at the Plum Grove Cyclery: Snotcycle 2010 Gallery.

Joy Wu, director of the You Are Beautiful campaign of Centre County, PA, approached me early in the spring to ask if I would cover this huge promotional event. It was a great opportunity for me, as forty vendors showed up to display their craft at a Spikes Baseball game. If you check out the gallery you will see (that’s right!) a AA baseball mascot getting a back massage, a few ladies getting roses from the vendors, and various pictures of Joy having a great time with everyone.
