Back in the saddle

I finally got back in the saddle after taking some time. It seems I have an internal ride barometer that keeps me centered and grounded. I needed some time away from the bike to come back to it motivated. My ride wasn’t spectacular in length or difficulty nor did it feel very good physically. In […]

Friday Ride Stoke – Fish Creek

Here Andrew and Ben head deeper into the canyon. This was still the glorious part of the canyon where we could still ride. I like this shot quite a bit with the canyon wall, the curvy road, blue sky and the rock. Even though I know what comes after this, it still makes me want […]

Color

No words today. Just posting something a bit different. Having fun with light at the Minnesota Science Museum.

Why I do it – The People

Not long ago I posted this, Why I do it. It was a post declaring why I do what I do. Why do I spend hours of time and my own money to develop, maintain and keep my blog going? Well…That little post got me going. Why I do it is going to be a […]

Looking Back

Last night spiraled out of control for me (In a good way!) As a result, I spent the evening processing about 20 images for a non cycling publication to review. But, since I did spend the evening working on photos, I thought I’d share one that I ran across that jarred my memory and got […]

2012 Film Project – 2 months & 3 rides

It seams I have fizzled a bit on my film project. It’s not that I haven’t been thinking about it nor is it because I no longer enjoy film. Nope. Not at all. I just was planning for my trip to California and knowing I was not going to shoot film on that trip, I […]

Friday Ride Stoke

One more picture from California. This is at dusk outside of Idylwild, California. We started heading out at dusk. This shot is just below the Speed of Light Deflector. Love the color and depth in the sky. Riding sweet singletrack doesn’t hurt either! Have a great one. I’ll be back next week with more from […]

SC Take 2 – Color

Today I share a similar story to take 1 in B&W. While these pictures tell a similar story, I am guessing you may get a different feeling from this set. Partly due to my intentional experimentation with processing as well as these images show a bit more difficulty and suffering than the first set. Anyway, […]

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 […]
