Ski Bum Poet

I have been watching this short YouTube clip go viral around the web over the past four days. It’s an episode that played out on the Alta transfer tow.

When I first saw it less than a week ago, there were 80 views. And as I type this post it’s closing in on 100,000 views, Google is serving ads while it plays and apparently it was on Anderson Cooper/CNN last night.

I must say it’s a pretty athletic move he does…what with balancing off the ground like that All I can say is that dude is probably glad no one can see his face. I wonder if he’s seen it yet? Glad you weren’t hurt my friend, and thanks for the laugh. Enjoy:

Well actually, it’s been over a month since I’ve posted here. Sorry, I always seem to do this. Get bogged down with a busy stretch of work, or as the case this time, with major life events like having a baby. Owen Greeley Marcoccia was born on March 25th, 2010 in Park City, Utah. Everything went perfect. Check out Danette’s birth story for the details if you’re interested.

It goes without saying that this past winter with a pregnant wife, a 2.5  year old, plus a demanding business that’s cranking…I haven’t been able to ski too much in the last few months. Been joking with folks recently saying that I plan to come out of ski bum retirement someday, but have to take care of some business like financial security and kid raising first

At any rate, just wanted to check in and announce the birth of my son. I am very fortunate, and very happy. Check out the slideshow below. It was an impromptu shoot in the evening the second night Owen was home. Evening light was hitting Mom and Baby perfectly so I snapped some shots. Then my sister Danielle took some of all three of us…
