Daily Inspiration #360 @ SteveHuffPhoto.com

Kind of a crazy afternoon yesterday. I submitted 3 photos to http://www.stevehuffphoto.com as part of his daily inspiration series. Since I have never really shared my photos other than here, I was a bit nervous. Within minutes of submitting, I got this note back from Steve Huff himself. These are great! I will post them […]

A Redwood Tree in an Apple Orchard

Somewhere along the way, I have lost my path. While I still feel I’m moving forward, I somehow feel it’s not the intended direction. I sort of feel like I’m going down a gravel road on my bicycle with a very, very strong side wind and rather than fight against it, I’ve let it push […]

The Coffee Ride(s)

Well….I think I started something new today. I’m calling them the coffee rides. Ben Witt and I have talked about it before and today we made our inaugural attempt. What is the coffee ride? It’s a casual early morning no drop group ride that starts and ends at a coffee shop and could involve making […]

50th

I posted earlier in the week that the Gnat family was in North Dakota. We were back for a special reason, that being celebrating my wife’s parents 50th wedding anniversary. It was a special surprise mini family reunion. Celebrating a 50th wedding anniversary is special and every member of the immediate family made it home. […]

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 […]

Left out

I got in late last night from North Dakota. Our family gathering was great as was my big ride in the big country. I thought we’d get in earlier yesterday and that I’d have time to process a bunch of images. But…That did not happen. I am cooked and my mind and body feel like […]

Happy Father’s Day

Happy Father’s Day fathers! Have some fun with your kids today!

Big Country Sneak Peek

Just back from a big ride in the big country. Beautiful day on the bike. Crushing wind. Stunning countryside. I can’t wait to process all the pics. More next week. Time for dinner!

Random Thoughts and Images

I’ve written before about how busy life is right now. It’s still going strong, but I’m starting to feel a change on the horizon. It’s a long ways away, but it’s at least visible. Not much time to write, but I have been taking pictures. Here’s a brief snapshot of what I’ve been up too. […]

Fat XC – Oh Yeah!

I’m several days into my fat XC project and I gotta say I am pretty darn pleased. I rode both Saturday and Sunday at Lebanon Hills and tonight I showed up at Murphy for a largish group ride put on by Ben Witt of Milltown Cycles. I had planned to go slow to have fun […]

Schools Out – Time to Ride

Last Friday marked the final day of 3rd grade for my twins. Amazing kids. Crazy how much they’ve aged and grown up in this past year. All joking aside, they are incredible kids and Jen and I are really proud of them. This past weekend also marked the first weekend in a some time where […]

Riding Bikes Rules

I couldn’t wait until tomorrow. I’ve got more of these coming, but I just had too much fun riding bikes this weekend. Hope you all had a great one too.

My 2012 Film Project – May – Japan

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 loaded 5 rolls of […]

Getting Fat to Get Lite

Maybe it’s because I have seen Reveal the Path movie 5 times since last Thursday and all I can think about is beach riding on my Mukluk in Alaska, but it’s June and I find myself dreaming of riding fatbikes. So much so that I am going to commit to riding my fatbike as my […]

Things that matter

OK…I took an unexpected break from writing and sharing pics. My schedule, once again, got to me and I just had no words that were worth writing. We also had some friends in town. But, I did manage to spend quite a bit of time thinking. It was good and it was needed. One of […]
