Carlos Blanchard knows that contrary to popular belief, film is most certainly not dead. There is a feeling about film that simply cannot be replicated in digital; the physicality, the thought of capturing a single moment that will never happen again, and then the anticipation while you wait to receive the negatives after development. It is a much more thoughtful process than digital, which is why we chose to feature Carlos’ work. The moments he has immortalized on film have feeling, emotion and a timeless quality that inspires us to not only go snowboarding, but to go out and shoot. This is snowboarding as Carlos sees it, we hope you enjoy.

About Focal Point:

This photo essay series was designed to exhibit the countless photos that do not make it into the incredibly competitive pages of snowboarding magazines. Photos can be published or unpublished, taken 10 years ago or last season. Photographers are given up to 17 photographic categories to meet, each with the goal of showing a different aspect of life in snowboarding. All captions are written by the photographer.
