My ride with NCC

Last weekend I was down in Dekalb, Illinois on behalf of Salsa Cycles to support North Central Cyclery . That sounds a lot like work and technically it was. However, I try to find time to ride whenever I go on work trips. Makes work not seem as much like work. This past weekend was […]

Alaska Dreaming

So…About a year ago I was in Alaska on a fatbike beach tour as part of Reveal the Path bicycle film. This past week down in Dekalb, IL I saw the movie again. The Alaska segment of the film made me smile and really got me thinking and remembering my time up in Alaska. Someone […]

Heading to Dekalb, IL Reveal the Path Screening

I am headed to Dekalb, Illinois to support my friends and one of my favorite bike shops ever, North Central Cyclery. As you may recall Salsa Cycles, my place of employment, partnered with Mike Dion to produce Reveal the Path bicycle documentary. NCC and a few other Salsa dealers in the area are promoting a […]

Scenes from Minnesota’s North Shore

Yesterday was my favorite post of the year and it seemed to have struck a chord with many. I received a quite a few emails & comments as well as a few reposts on Facebook. Thank you all of you. Today I want to share a few less personal images and focus on the beauty […]

Savor Every Moment

At some point in each and every one of our lives, we probably get a slap in the face or wake up call that really makes us remember why we are here. Sometimes it is something tragic that shatters your world. Other times it is something so joyous that we are overcome with happiness. It’s […]

Up North – Entering the BWCA

I finally broke down and put a temporary fix in place for my full hard drive. I just have not had the time to solve my hard drive issue and get my complete data set up the way I wanted it, so I put in a temp solution just so I could get to these […]

Chasing light in the MN Arrowhead

Well, we are back. Where we’re we? We were in Northern MN enjoying our family as well as the immense beauty of MN’s Arrowhead Region. More than once I found myself chasing the light as the sun dipped to the horizon. I am super pleased with the imagery captured on this trip. I think it […]

Union Station – Ogden, Utah

Whenever I travel, I try to find some time to explore the community a bit. I like to head into the heart of a city or place on a walk or bike ride with my camera. No real mission in mind. I just like to see a new city and give my mind freedom to […]

Out West

Just a short one today as I am finishing up some business in Utah before returning home. I am also headed out for an early morning shoot that I am very excited about. I have a couple of special spots scouted for a new bike from Salsa Cycles. Should be a sweet morning. I will […]

Living Life – Japan

Today, my tribute to living life is about work, riding and finding motivation. A couple months ago, I traveled to Japan for work. It was an incredible journey. I haven’t talked much about it, but this week words finally started coming out. I am going to share a link to something I’ve written over on […]

Big, Big Country on Film

I shared a few weeks ago this post on riding in the Big, Big country of North Dakota. It was an amazing ride that day in a beautiful landscape. All those shots I shared were taken with a digital camera. But, my digital camera wasn’t the only camera I carried on that ride. Nope. I […]

Big Big Country – Riding in North Dakota

Some of you know that from time to time my wife, kids and I get back to North Dakota to visit with family. This was a special trip, one I’ll share a bit more about later this week. Every time we go back, I try to bring a bike and I try to get out […]

Tokyo Sanja Matsuri Festival – Sony E Mount 50mm f1.8

I am finally getting around to putting my thoughts and images together from my recent trip to Japan. Today I bring you some images from the Sanja Matsuri Festival held in Tokyo. Before I get into the images, I want to share a few bits of information about my trip and the images I will […]

Clouds – Kyoto, Japan

I spent much of yesterday at home filtering and editing pictures from Japan. Every single time I come back to my computer I find another image that piques my interest. This morning I bring you one of those. I did not see this one yesterday in my filtering process. Lesson learned. Sometimes you don’t see […]

Home at last

I made it home from Japan last evening. Just started the huge photo dump of several thousand images. It was a big trip with big memories. It is going to take some time to recover from this one. More to come in the coming days and weeks.
