Does Sam need an agent?
Tom sent me this photo of Sam en route to winning the J2 GS last Saturday at Brighton. I am in awe at the flex she has on her outside ski and that she can remain upright with her backside only inches off the snow. I sent the photo to a buddy in the UK who likes to photoshop ski photos. He spent some time trying to lighten the photo and improve the contrast (he's the one who convinced me to buy the Nikon D80 with the 18-200 VR lens). One thing is for sure, in both versions of the photo Sam looks FAST.

I'm saving my money for either the Vancouver Canada or Sochi Russia winter Olympics to cheer on Samantha Emmett. Way to ski fast!
ReplyDeleteEven though Sam can ski a whole lot better than I do I am thankful I can still enjoy whatever gets me down the hill - bad knees and bad back or whatever else applies. The job with Photoshop was a lot better than I could ever do - thanks for sending it along.
ReplyDeleteHoly Cow Sam! I agree with Chad...I'm going to start saving my money now for the Olympics!
ReplyDeleteI've already told anyone who will listen that I have a cousin who is the next Picabo Street!
ReplyDeleteIn the March 10th issue of SPORTS ILLUSTRATED there are three pictures of Lindsay Vonn, this years winner of the women's World Cup, that look like carbon copies of the picture of Samantha that Tom took at Brighton. It's almost scary to see how closely they resemble each other in a tight turn.
