Juniors Featured Photographer –
Bob Eastaugh
Although Bob Eastaugh has photographed all the club’s junior and FIS races for more than twelve years, he will not routinely be photographing the club’s races in 2024-25. He may choose to photograph some racing this season on a limited basis.
He will continue to sell his race photos. Use this link to see his 2023-24 race galleries: https://bobeastaughimagery.zenfolio.com/f1008655119 Visitors can view images from past seasons without charge, and a few print samples remain on the RTC bulletin board. His website host has begun archiving older galleries, but they can be un-archived on request. He also enjoys creating 3-to-5 shot merged sequences of racers. He doesn’t routinely offer them because they are complex and hard to price, but he welcomes inquiries from anyone who might be interested. The galleries hold samples. And some, especially parents, like highly cropped Racers Faces shots.
He donates any race photo sales net proceeds to the club’s Juniors program. His photos have publicized racers, the sport, and the club in the Anchorage Daily News, Ski Racing Magazine (Media), the News-Miner, the Empire, the Race Place Catalogue (cover), and elsewhere. He has worked with the club in various capacities for more than 50 years and helped found the Masters program in 1973.
