TODAY! (yesterday)
The TODAY show is taking a winter break from their NYC studio and brought the whole team to Sugarbush ski area here in Vermont yesterday to broadcast the show. I was fortunate enough to photograph it for the Burlington Free Press and had a blast documenting the hoopla and meeting the cast and crew, who were all so friendly.
I briefly met the whole TODAY show gang, but my favorite was Ann Curry. As I told the metro editor of the Free Press, she was the kind of person I felt I could be pals with.
Here are a handful of my favorite published images and outtakes from the day.
Ann Curry, Natalie Morales and Al Roker joke around before the camera rolls.

Hoda Kotb has her first snowboarding lesson.
You snowboarding fans will recognize this Vermont celebrity. It's olympic gold medalist Hannah Teter.
My pal, Mike Riddell was in a ski wear fashion show. Everything was going great until...
...oh, thank goodness...he's just showing off the board shorts under the pants! 
Nice work, Mike!!
