It’s AgriCultural Photography Contest – First Place!

January 10, 2015 Leave a Comment

Marni Mattner Photography was awarded First Prize in the Open Professional category of the Colorado It’s AgriCultural Photography Contest, featuring photography related to Colorado’s agriculture. Over the past 6 years I have had the pleasure of photographing more than 20 family dairy farms for the Western Dairy Association, and this particular image really resonates for me with what I’ve seen in that time in terms of the love these families have for their work, the land and the animals they care for.

Rosy Blu (And More Importantly: Michelle)

January 20, 2013 Leave a Comment

You’re about to meet one of my very favorite people in the entire world – my little sister, Michelle. And today is her birthday! So in honor of her loveliness, I’ve created a blog post just for her. She is one talented lady – she has her own handmade Etsy Shop (Rosy Blu Handmade) and vintage Etsy Shop (Rosy Blu Vintage), plus the fabulous Rosy Blu blog with all sorts of great tips for good living, good eating and surrounding yourself with only BLU things (beautiful, loved or useful). Here’s a photo I took of her near her garden for her blog – and let me assure you that photographing your own sister is one of the most fun things to do in life.

Hueco Tanks, TX is one of the best bouldering areas in the country. It’s a great winter destination for climbing, with sunny desert weather. Here are a few shots I took of the Cassin Domino bouldering crash pad, along with some of the local scenery.

2012 ISMF North American Ski Mountaineering Championship

February 12, 2012 Leave a Comment

Here are a few highlights from the grueling 2012 ISMF North American Ski Mountaineering Championships, held in Crested Butte, CO this year. C.A.M.P. was a sponsor of this randonee ski race, where the athletes use skins to go uphill, plus alpine ski downhill. This year, the race added a new component, mountaineering, on a ridge line overlooking Crested Butte. The event was held over a two-day period, with a sprint race the first day and endurance race the second. These athletes are incredible, hiking 5000+ vertical feet on their skis, plus tackling the technical mountaineering on the ridge line in ski boots and effortlessly descending icey double blacks. The first place winner completed the second day’s endurance course in under 2 and a half hours!
