Ski to Sea Adventure Race

Over the past few weekends Bellingham and Whatcom County hosted the very popular 99th anniversary of the Ski to Sea  races.  These races consists of a 94 mile 7 legged muti-sport event competition including c.c.ski, downhill ski, runner, road bike, canoe, mt. bike and kayak starting on the slopes of the Mt Baker Ski area and concluding on the shore in Bellingham Washington historic district known as Fairhaven.  I had the honor of working with the official photographer for the Jr Ski to Sea and Ski to Sea Jon Brunk.  I had a great time at both the events, worked hard with a great group of dedicated photographers and returned with some images I really enjoy.  Here are a few images from both the races

Nature Found Me!

My mom always asks me how I got so interested in the nature.  I didn't grow up camping, hiking or with any real influential person urging me to enjoy the worlds natural wonders.  Honestly I am not  sure what prompted this liking to the natural world.  What I can say is that every morning I wake up I am thankful for another opportunity to explore, photograph and share the complex and unique natural environment that surrounds me no matter where I am.  Check out some of the things that found me on my journeys.Tim Chandonnet Photography

Creatures on the Beach

I Made a trip down to the beach the other day in the pouring rain.  With the high winds the night before and the extreme low tide I thought it would be fun to hunt for some washed up creatures.  Check out what I almost stepped on...

Larrabee State Park Bouldering and Rock Climbing

Well it was about four o'clock on a sunny Monday April 19th when my phone rang.  It was a good friend of mine offering me the opportunity to tag along on a small climbing outing at one of my favorite places to photograph in Northwest Washington, Larrabee State Park.  Located along Chuckanut Drive at the base of the Chuckanut Mountains, Larrabee S.P. is strewn with breathtaking views of the San Juan Island and rock formations reminiscent of weather battered sandstone in the dessert southwest.  Having been on my buddies case for some time about getting out with them and shooting some climbing photos there was no way I was going to pass up this chance.
