| Nearly
all of our Holiday card photos are taken in November, but this one
was lots different.
We've been skiers since the late 1980s,
and in January, 1997, we took the Amtrak trip to Big Mountain in
northwest Montana. It was a new ski area for us, and we enjoyed
the train ride and the skiing immensely.
This resort had a professional photographer
available to take memento pictures of visitors' skiing experiences.
But we engaged the photographer, Kathy Sullivan, to take our Holiday
card photo.
We asked Kathy to take us to the edge
of a double-black-diamond ski run, where we'd pose, blowing our
horns off into the abyss. Kathy found us just what we were looking
for, and more! The run was named Bighorn!
 So
we had our Holiday card photo taken ten months early!
And at right, you can check out one of
the poses we decided not to use. All told, we probably spent two
hours with the photographer. She was a real gem. See her
company’s web site if you like. |
