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 […]

Living Life

I’ve mentioned before that my life is full. There is little down time in our family. That’s not a complaint. We try to make do with what we have been given. We are thankful for the opportunities we have and the people that have been put around us. All in all, we are having an […]

Living Life

This week on the blog is dedicated to living life. While I am not in the physical condition I want to be in, I am constantly reminded that there is more to life than riding and taking pictures. For me, those are certainly big parts of my life but they paint a very incomplete picture. […]

Friday Ride Stoke

Today I am starting a new series. I am calling it the Friday Ride Stoke and I hope to bring you a single ride photo every Friday. There will be few words. Just a single image to get you stoked to ride over the weekend. It may not be every Friday if I don’t have […]

My 2012 Film Project – June

I am now 6 months into my 2012 film project. For first time readers, I set out this year to shoot at least one role of film per month for the entire year of 2012. You can read about my ongoing project here. I wanted to do this for several reasons. First and foremost, I […]

Film in motion

Today I bring to you a few images that are symbolic of what I had in mind when I started planning my film project back in December 2011. I not only wanted to learn from shooting film, I had a specific vision for shooting film. Today, I will share with you several images of shooting […]

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 […]

Hot, hot, hot!

As I wrote earlier in the week, things are feeling a bit more normal. This includes riding. However, the weather isn’t exactly ideal. It is HOT!!!!! Did I mention it is hot out right now? But what’s a guy to do when this is the time you have to ride? Well….you ride. And ride I […]

The Coffee Ride – Take 2

Every once in a while it all comes together as planned. Ben Witt and I have talked about the idea of a coffee ride for some time. The idea is simple. Meet for coffee early in the morning. Ride bikes. Check out new places. Go to work. Last Friday marked our second attempt and it […]

A new day

This past few weeks have been good to me. Gone are the every day chaos that resulted from my choices. Each day is a new day and better than the last. I have been riding my bike. I have been seeing sunrises again. I am inspired and shooting more. I am experimenting with shooting film […]

Take some time to dream today

Tokyo – Final Hours

My friend and coworker Kelly Mac sent this image to me this week. It made me smile. It was taken in the final hours of the Salsa Japan Tour 2012 while out walking in Tokyo. That’s a chocolate covered banana on a stick! Oh….and a cold Asahi. I loved every minute in Japan. Enjoy your […]

End of Season

Last evening was the last game of the spring season. Both my kids were in soccer. I am so proud of both of them. It was so fun seeing them, and their teams, progress this year. It is amazing how much faster each year gets. I did not have time to go through all the […]

Morning @ Murphy

Yesterday, I got some saddle time at Murphy with Benton. We met early (6:00AM) not expecting to see anyone. I figured we’d be doing the cobweb sweep. Thankfully someone else was crazy enough to be hitting dirt at 6:00AM and he rolled out a few minutes ahead of us clearing the trail. It was a […]
