SC Take 1 – B&W

Today I share with you quite a few images from my recent trip to southern California. Before I share the images, I want to let folks know that I am still processing my thoughts. Part of that process is working through the images and memories. For me personally, the images tell my experiences better than […]

The Crew @ Fish Creek Canyon wash

This is probably my favorite image as well as my favorite group shot from last week. I took it toward the end of second day. We were tired and weathered already. We paid for every mile up to this point. The moment captured above we stopped to not only rest in the shade, but take […]

Home

Just a very quick update that I have made it home from my little vacation and journey. Off loading pictures as I write this. I went into this trip with a pretty solid plan for the ride and a vision for my images. Despite that, this trip didn’t turn out as planned in terms of […]

Headed Out

I am taking a break here @ ImagineGnat. I am headed out to test my mind, my body and my equipment. Time to learn something new about myself, my world and my gear. See you all on the 29th or 30th back here.

Friday Ride Stoke

Today’s message is simple. Go find that road that you haven’t been on and you don’t know where it leads. Find out where it goes. Learn something new. Have a great day and weekend folks.

Autumn Hangs On

Fall and autumn colors are really trying to hang on. Last Friday morning I got out early with a plan to ride Lebanon Hills. As I was heading over, I got distracted by a small lake on the side of the road. I’ve not bothered on stopping because it is on a part of the […]

Why I Do It

I had planned on a second installment of Random Thoughts on Gear today, but yesterdays ride was too good not to share. The images below are all from yesterday. It was one of those perfect fall days that started out well before sunrise. In prepping for an upcoming trip, I also decided to carry some […]

Random Thoughts on Gear

I spent the weekend at home with the kids and preparing for an upcoming bikepacking vacation. Whenever I am prepping for another trip, I spend quite a bit of time thinking about gear. Today you get some ramblings in no particular order. My bike – In reviewing this trip, I wrestled with what bike to […]

A Soggy Day

Sunshine on Friday. Rain on Saturday. What will Sunday bring?

Fall Singletrack

I wrote yesterday how I was home with the kids. Perfect day with two bike rides. Early AM ride at Leb followed by a great ride at Murphy with my kiddos! Glad we got out because today looks gloomy. Hope your weekend is off to a great start. Time for coffee………

Friday Ride Stoke

Today’s ride stoke comes from a not so little, fall gravel ride my friend Ben Witt and I had a few weeks back. It was a glorious fall day and we headed out in the early morning with a plan to return home sometime later that afternoon. On the roll out we caught some incredible […]

Barns for GT

Just getting back at my friend GT for all his barns for Jason posts this year. And just for good measure, here’s a windmill for my internet friend from the UK, Paul.

2012 Film Project – Olympus 35EC

Earlier in the year my friend Rob sent me a box containing 3 old cameras. I’ve written about two of them; the Olympus 35RC and the Canon QL17. This month I am writing about the Olympus 35EC. Of all the cameras he sent me, this one was the most pristine condition and in all honesty, […]

10 and Over

Well, on Saturday my twins turned 10! Hard to believe. They are growing up to be wonderful little people. It also marks the end of the fall sports season. We’ve got a few weeks of respite before heading back to swimming and soccer. So…In honor of this big occasion, here are just a few pics […]

One final boy birthday party tonight and our weekend is complete. Hope you have all had a great one […]
