Kort Duce, who has attended the Summit, was photographing the 2011 Yamaha line of snowmobiles for Yamaha in central Wyoming.  The ad agency and Yamaha group along with Duce and another photographer had just finished the shoot when at 4 a.m., the main lodge that was the project headquarters, burned to the ground.  With all Kort’s equipment — and three days work.  With quickly borrowed cameras and computers, the entire group had to start from scratch and do the entire shoot over.  Kort, who was staying in one of the nearby cabins to the lodge, probably takes his equipment to bed with him now . .
