Richmond Speed Skating Oval

by Ron on February 6, 2009

An Olympic hopeful training at the brand new Richmond Speed Skating Oval near Vancouver.  This venue will be used for long track speed skating in next year’s winter games.

I thought this scene epitomizes the typical Olympic athlete’s life.  Long hours of training by themselves in relative anonymity.  It is kind of ironic, if he does make the Olympic team as expected, millions of people from around the world will one day watch him skate on this same ice surface.   On this day, it was only Janine and I, along with his friendly girlfriend.

What happened to my living room????

by Janine on May 30, 2008

Folks, this is why I don’t take pictures and you should use a tripod!  Even with Ron taking care of all the camera settings I still managed to take a soft picture.  Anyway, the real reason for this post is because I found this very funny.  I stepped out of the house for literally no more than 2 or 3 minutes and I walked back into the living room to find what you see in the picture.  Ron had completely torn the living room apart and set up shop.  He had just received his latest “toy” and was like a kid at Christmas.  I could not believe he had managed to totally rearrange the room and set up that fast.  It made me laugh.

When you reach this beautiful little setting, you are very close to the Subway.

Biking Russian Lakes - Resurrection River Trail

Author:  Janine Niebrugge

One great thing about shooting the Chugach National Forest this summer has been the opportunity to explore new areas.  I have found most people feel the need to travel away from home to recreate and vacation.  Or tend to frequent favorite areas over and over.  Ron and I are no exception.  We have our favorite trails right here in Seward and we do them over and over again.  So this summer we have ventured beyond our backyard and have had a blast doing so!  [click to continue…]

Ron’s other half.

by Janine on August 18, 2006

I am the “behind the scene” part of the business and I like it that way.  People always ask if I photograph as well.  I am quick to answer, maybe too quick, No.  I have no interest in photography whatsoever.  I don’t even know how to use Ron’s camera’s!  But I enjoy the process of photography.  Being out in the field and experiencing nature first hand.  I love when we explore the backcountry hiking, boating, kayaking and camping.  I enjoy identifying the plants, flowers, birds and wildlife.  I am technically Ron’s “assistant” when we are in the field.  But I often forget those duties and fall short of being the ideal assistant.  But I think I make a great companion :) !
