Sandbox Catalog

Sandbox was founded in 2004 by Kevin Sansalone and a group of close friends in their hometown of Whistler BC.  They started the brand with a series of snowboard films that captured a new style of film making with well rounded riding that is a huge part of the snowboarding culture in Whistler and Western Canada. Later they started the Sandbox helmet brand in 2007. The helmets are quickly becoming one of the leaders in helmet style, design and function, and Sansalone is a legend.

I shot some lifestyle, action and product up on the Blackcomb glacier and in the studio last summer for the catalog and website.  We got to enjoy the full Whistler weather experience, of sun, rain and snow, in a 5 hour period.  Epic.  Here's how they turned out.

sandbox premier

Sandbox movie 'Day and Age' and the new Flow movie premiered last weekend at Millenuim place in Whistler. It's looking pretty fantastic. The afterparty was a Garfs, where Dom and Kevin rented a photo booth slash makeout room. Little did most of us know that both Sandbox and Garfinkels get digital copies of those photos. Haha.. Can't wait to see those. I shoot some 'red carpet' photo and drinking entertainment.

A couple people got pretty lose, to say the least. Alice takes the cake tho. Apparently little Griffin, aka Kevin Griffin's bro, got up to take a leak and came back to Alice in his seat. Grif kicked her out so she layed down in the middle of the stage. Of course the crowd yelled 'dump em out' and before long 'they' were out. Sansalone dragged her out. Thanks for the entertainment Alice!!

Apologies for not being able to get the photos in order.. switching blogs next week..
