Inaugural escape
Shem Roose
The mood on the drive to the mountain this day was pretty somber. It was gray, cold and the inauguration of Donald Trump was happening. When I got to Stowe I met up with my friends Jesse Huffman, Tomas Ruprecht and Nathanael Asaro. We loaded into the gondola and discussed the absurdity/reality of a real estate crook and TV personality being our President. As we approached the top of the gondola line, the clouds began to break so we decided to hike to the top of Mansfield. When we reached the top we stood there admiring the inversion of the clouds and soaked in the silence before riding down to the barrage of media outlets covering the events of the day. Pictured: Jesse Huffman (left) Tomas Ruprecht (right).

"Bike Trial in the Pacific"
Bárbara Ramos Villalobos
Bike Trial is a discipline of mountain biking in which the rider attempts to pass through an obstacle, natural or man-made, without setting foot to the ground with a special bicycle (for instance, it doesn't have a seat). It's referred to practicing parkour, but with a bike.
"Bike Trial in the Pacific" was a photographic project that I had been planning since March of 2017 and finally came to be in March of 2018. The main objective was to take advantage of nature and turistic spots that one can find in Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, México making it a great challenge to overcome for "TtBoy", a bike trial rider from México City who was unfamiliar with Puerto Vallarta and had never seen the multiple places where he could practice his sport. This is the result of this adventure.

"Conquering the Cross"
Bárbara Ramos Villalobos
This picture is part of a photographic project called "Bike Trial in the Pacific" that was made in different spots of Puerto Vallarta's Bay. The project consisted in taking TtBoy, a bike trial rider from México City who was unfamiliar with Puerto Vallarta and its multiple locations so he could practice his sport.
Here, TtBoy is at "Huanacaxtle's Cross". This is where all the idea of "Bike Trial in the Pacific" came to be. Since I visited this place for the first time, I knew that I had to do a photographic project here.It was going to be a challenge, specially for TtBoy, but once he said he could pull it out, everything came out pretty amazing. This was the only place TtBoy had seen previously in pictures because it was the most dangerous and technical spot of "Bike Trial in the Pacific". The seawall's were pretty hight, the wind was with all its might and the space where he could perform the trick "Track Stand" was pretty small. He was extremely concentrated so he couldn't make a false move that could end up injuring himself. The main purpose of the project was to conquer this spot. At the end, the battle was won.

The pressure of being watched while preforming can be intense. Having all eyes on you can be a daunting feeling. This skater has all eyes on him. Venice Skatepark, California, has a luscious color scheme of orange pink and blue, and I wanted to hold that true through this photograph.

Being a swimmer for 16 years changes your perception of pools and makes it a little bit different than everyone else. Through centric ideas of how one moves through water and how water holds around the individual; I want to demonstrate perspective, and show a different side to competitive swimming.

I was taking behind the scenes images at Brooklyn Nets media day at the Nets practice facility in Brooklyn. I noticed the huge window along the practice gym floor with some of the Manhattan skyline visible through the window. I waited for a player to shoot around during their down time to capture a silhouette image of a player showing the NYC skyline in the background. Nets rookie Rodions Kurucs started working on his 3-point shot with an assistant coach and I captured this image.
