On the piste with Catherine Pata and Maude

My first photo shoot.
Olivier and I spent the day skiing around Flegere with Catherine and Maude and playing the guitar. We were all dressed in Victorian costume so that they could shoot a storyline for their photography degrees.
I don’t have a link to their portfolio, but they kindly did some publicity photos and sent them to us.

First gig as a skiing guitarist

I blame John Waywell.
Amanda, Olivier and I (collectively “Le Mot”) were asked to play at a mountain refuge where it was strictly ski in and ski out on gnarly black runs.
I was discussing with John how to get the equipment in and out and he said
You absolutely have to ski in playing the guitar.

So I did.

By the time I’d negotiated the Italian bowl I’d drawn quite a crowd and the gig went really well.
2 photography students who’d followed me down asked us to do a photo shoot the next day……..photo 8
