The Photography of Tom Zittel
Two season’s ago I was hanging out in the lodge at Echo Mountain for some contest that I was announcing or judging and these two dudes started showing me some photos on their laptop. As I’m looking through all of these photos, I start thinking to myself “damn I really need to go these spots”… “Who the hell took these”… “These dudes are gnarly”…”I really want to shred”.. etc.. Isn’t that what a good snowboard or skate photo is supposed to do? A good snowboard photo should inspire you to ride and do something different and new, and that is exactly what Tom Zittel’s photos do. Tom does an amazing job at capturing snowboarding through his own unique perspective and can make something awesome out of nothing. He is one of the radest and most hard-working individuals that you will ever meet and he will make sure that you walk away from any session with a great photo. Tom grew up in Golden Colorado and now spends half of the year shredding and shooting with us and the other half with his lady friend across the ocean in England. His attitude is dope and his photography speaks for itself… enjoy.
