From the desk of the TW SNOWboarding Photo Dept.

Welcome to the TW SNOWboarding Photo Department. This time of the year is always exciting. Fall officially starts at the end of the month, ASR has brought us several movie premieres & several visitors, and we’ve been shipping new issues of the mag on the regular. All meaning that we are that much closer to welcoming a new shred season.
Recently, Nick Hamilton and I have dusted off and fired up the ole’ light table to peep & select a couple timeless slides from snowboarding’s history.
While we spend a lot of time editing photos & organizing them for upcoming features, its real cool to mix up our days work with visiting photographers. The details they share are amazing, funny, and add much more character to images. It’s nice to hear the story behind the photos, rather than just call them super dope and send them to production.
Over the summer some of the contributing photographers that have stop by to say hello and share insight into their season have been, L-R, Mike Yoshida, Dean Blotto Gray, and Joel Fraser.
Check out almost any issue of TWS and they’ll feature some of these photographers’ best photos.

It was awesome to finally see the snowboard movies we’ve all been anticipating; These Days, That’s It That’s All, Down With People, Double Decade, etc., etc.. The Transworld staff knew that we were the lucky ones to see this many movies within the four or five nights of ASR (Action Sports Retail tradeshow) here in our own hometown of San Diego. With that in mind, last week we announced a TWS online premiere of These Days (that happened on Monday) to give you shreds a complete taste of the movie. One time, that was it. Now to see These Days you ‘ll have to go online or go to your favorite shop to buy a fresh copy and watch it everyday!
Liam Gallagher & Joe Carlino welcomed 6500 viewers that logged on to TWSNOW.com, showed the movie, and when it finished they even stayed around to answer questions that kids posted on the comment boards.
With all the movie premiers, super dope photos, & industry visits it can be a challenge staying focused at our desks…but the visits don’t happen everyday, so when they do stop by we’re all stoked to catch up.
This week John Cavan, Rome TM & Cinematographer also came through and entertained us with an exclusive office viewing of ROME’s No Correct Way. All in the photo, foreground to background & left to right: TWS Associate Editor Ben Gavelda, TWS Associate Art Director John Antoski, TWS Videography Joe Carlino, John Cavan, Mathieu Crepel, Rossi TM Matthieu Giraud, Xavier De La Rue, and TWS Senior Editor Joel Muzzey.
