My 2012 Film Project – May – Japan

Originally posted on ImagineGnat:
I’m excited to share my May installment of my 2012 film project. I went into May with a great plan. I would bring my film camera to Japan and use it shoot some non work, street and portraits. I rented a 50mm Zeiss 2.0 lens to shoot available light only and…

Brap!! The new old whip

May 15th tomorrow and my local dirt trail is FINALLY opening! I am ready. Braaaapppppp!!!!

Small Camera. Big Picture. Yashica T4 film camera.

It’s been quiet for a week over here at ImagineGnat. While it may appear I am not alive and kicking any longer, I am doing well. Springtime has sprung and both home and work are super busy. However, that isn’t the reason I have been absent. I’ve been shooting film and if you can remember […]

April 2014 Image Dump

April was a busy month for me and the Gnat family. Lot’s going on. I finally finished Big Blue (my new Fargo Ti) and did my best to get out as often as I could. April was still cold though, much colder than normal but I made it work anyhow. On the family front, we […]

Getting back to my roots – Fargo, Friends, Coffee & Film

About a month ago, I wrote the following sentence in my Catching Up – Where Have I been post – “I just think it is time to start getting back to the things that are important to me”. The list of things that of what is important to me is fairly short in all honesty. […]

Friday Ride Stoke – 1 mile

I am back today with a Friday Ride Stoke entry. I’ve been riding quite a bit more and while I may not have something super for every Friday, I certainly plan to post Friday Ride Stokes when I do. Today is one of my favorites. I call it 1-Mile. I have ridden past this spot countless […]

My Ultimate Salsa Fargo Project – Big Blue

Ok…I’ve been working on this project for over a year. After many road blocks and u-turns, it is complete. I am finally spilling the beans on my custom painted Salsa Fargo Titanium adventure bike. With that, I introduce you to Big Blue. Before I get too far, I want to put out a disclaimer in […]

Spring bike racing photo project

Despite the snow happening at the moment I write this, it is spring here in MN. Spring means cold, wet and early season racing. Here in MN we get anxious to get out. Many train all winter for THE START of the season. Last night kicked off the Minnesota State Fairground crit series. Some folks […]

Small Camera. Big Picture. Fuji X20.

Today I am introducing a topic that I expect over the year(s) will become a featured column here at imaginegnat.com. I often get the question “what camera do you use while riding” or “how do you carry your camera while riding?”. These questions come up a lot and quite honestly, the answer to those […]

First Reveal – Project Fargo Ti

Still a work in progress and I still need to remove the brakes but here is the first reveal of the direction I went with the project. Took this late last night. Pretty stoked to finish this week. Few final tweaks as well as a few final component selection and it is complete. Only took […]

A Day In The Country – 04-06-14

While I had high hopes to share some thoughts, images and experiences with my Surly Krampus, I just never got to it because I got distracted by the incredible weather outside. I could have taken another hour to finish my new Salsa Fargo, but I did not have time. My window of opportunity would have […]

Image Dump – March 2014

One of the things I do at the beginning of each new month is review the previous month. Looking back helps me move on and also gives me a chance to re evaluate some images that I may have passed over. I shoot a lot because I like learning. I take a lot of images […]

My All-City – Moving on

Before I get into today’s topic of moving on, I want to say thanks to all of you for your kind words about my return to blogging. For anyone that has blogged, I bet at one point they ask the question “Is it worth it?” or “Does anyone really read this stuff?” This past week […]

Catching Up – Where have I been?!

Well here I am back at http://www.imaginegnat.com. It’s been over a year since my last post. I’m betting some folks may have a few questions so let me get a few questions as well as a few answers out of the way. Where have you been? Oh my, that is a big question. Well….Since the […]

Campagnolo Peanut Butter Wrenches

I have been interested in Tumblr for some time. I’ve played around with it as a visual and creative diary. Much like blogs and other forms of social networking, it sort of has it’s own culture and group of folks that follow it. I find myself using Tumblr more and more to research specific tags. […]
