Dan Brown is no stranger to the slopes. He’s been a professional photographer in the industry for a number of years, with his experience eventually leading to his current position at Line Skis. At this year’s edition of Line Spring Break, Dan was lining up a shot and got a nice little surprise attack from Jon Hartman. “It was an example of a classic ‘what not to do,'” explains Dan. “I had just taken a photo of Will Wesson gapping over me as to get the proper ‘base in your face’ perspective. I was repositioning myself when Jon Hartman came in like a bat-out-of-hell and assaulted me with his ski. Needless to say, that will be a point of discussion we’ll have during his contract negotiations.”
We can all have a good laugh because Dan was able to escape without any major injuries. However, he said “it should be a lesson for any photographers who had the same thought that I did: only stupid people get hit by skiers in the terrain park.”
