Tal Roberts
TAL ROBERTS got his start creating still images by hitting the pause button when the tricks looked just right on the classic skateboard videos of the mid-1990s. Though he didn’t use a real camera until years later, the desire to document his passions was still intact. Originally from Gig Harbor, Washington, Tal has lived in Ketchum, Idaho, since 2005 and continues to focus on making pictures of his friends having fun. (“Fat Bikes Shift into High Gear,” p.84; “Terrain Mania,” p.86; “Profiles in Excellence,” p.112).
julie bramowitz is the former arts editor of the Idaho Mountain Express. Before moving to Sun Valley, Julie was the research director and a features contributor at Vogue. Her writing has also appeared in The New York Times and Interview, among other publications. She is at work on her first one-act play while awaiting ski season. (“Chill Factor,” p.54; “Fools for Love,” p.134).
TESSA SHEEHAN moved to the Wood River Valley at 5 years old and, after studying journalism and mass media at the University of Idaho, she circled back home. Today, you can find her traveling the world, exploring the Valley’s mountain trails, volunteering at local events, at a local yoga studio or listening to live music. Through it all, she has a camera hanging on her hip, waiting to catch the next fleeting moment of life in Sun Valley. (“Belly Up to the Barre,” p.72).
KIRA TENNEY works as a freelance writer, whitewater kayak instructor and yoga instructor around the world. Hard to pin down in one place, she can be found anywhere from the Tibetan Plateau working on the development of river tourism for Last Descents, to Jinja, Uganda, teaching a community yoga class before kayaking the Nile. Inevitably, you can always find her back in a place that she considers to be one of the best in the world, and that’s home sweet Sun Valley. (“Ben Verge,” p.116).
