Cipher Imaging's Trajectory



		JAN 30 2012			Snow Sculpture Contest The results are in! First of all, congratulations to ALL the sculptors who came out and showed their skills this year! We had perfect weather and great conditions. We also had record numbers across the board. Koch Hazard Architects, a perennial favorite, took Gold and People's Choice while PAAW (Prairie Artists Against the Wind) took Silver and Stockwell Engineers took Bronze. Koch Hazard did a three-piece sculpture and you can see it below. Along with that image, be sure to scroll through and see some of the other entrants! More great photos can be found at www.funski.org!



		JAN 25 2012			FunSki 2012 I just got back from 6 hours of sculpting! The staff out at Great Bear created an 8-foot-tall block of snow near the firepit. It was quite a challenge! It turned out pretty cool, though, as you can see below. For the past three years I have been carving the 'marker block' for the events out at FunSki. This one is the tallest I've ever done. Please make sure to come check it out this weekend - maybe even participate in a snow sculpture of your own! And if you can't make it out, check back here next week for some of the creations!



		JAN 23 2012			Return of the "Para-Blox" It's that time of year again! If you were making your way around downtown Sioux Falls over the weekend, you might have noticed that the "Para-blox" have once again made their appearance. This weekend (January 27th & 28th) the 23rd annual FunSki takes place out at Great Bear Ski Valley. If you haven't done so already, you should register your Tube Race team, Snow Sculpture team, or any other event. You can find more information at www.funski.org. Every penny raised goes to Childrens Inn, a private non-profit organization founded in 1977 that provides 24-hour, free services for women and children who are victims of family violence, elder abuse, child abuse, neglect, or sexual assault.



		JAN 09 2012			Sioux Falls Woman Magazine: Home Feature I've been working with Jared and the Sioux Falls Woman Magazine crew now since September of last year. The current issue's "Home Feature" showcases Jennifer Dumke's home and you can get a sneak peek at it below. If you're not near a distribution point, you can find the online copy here. I've already shot the Feb./Mar. issue and you'll be seeing that later this month!



		JAN 06 2012			Dakota Kitchen & Bath Advertising Campaign Keep your eyes open for the continuation of the Dakota Kitchen & Bath advertisement campaign this month. "Home Ideas," "Sioux Falls Woman," and "Etc Magazine" will all feature the ad posted below.



		JAN 02 2012			Be Bold 101 Normally I'm not a big fan of New Years Resolutions. There is one thing, however, that I know I have to get better at: updating this news/blog page more often! Many of you noticed that I was horrible at it in 2011. Eight posts the entire year?! Yes, I can do better than that - and I will. I recently came across a book by Nicholas Bate entitled "Be Bold 101." He's an auther of 9 acclaimed books and is passionate about supporting people to ensure they realise and release their true and full potential. Below are a few of my favorites that I'm also going to try to apply in 2012. Thanks for all your patience and here's to a brilliant new year!
