My 2012 Film Project

For 2012, I have committed to shooting film. Not all the time. I have to shoot at least one roll of film, get it processed and print the images. It’s been a fun experiment. I’m going to make this post a sticky and I will be updating it each and every month with links to […]

Leap of faith

It’s Friday and the fact that I made it through this week is nothing short of a miracle. 90% of things are good but I’ve got a few things going on that are just not that fun and take about 99% of my mental energy. They make me ask questions in my head that I […]

Up North – Random Moments

Other than a photo for Friday, today is my last post writing about up north. It was a great time with great people. While the primary reason for this entire trip was to ride fatbikes, we also took time to hike and explore and the beautiful surroundings we were in. It isn’t always just about […]

Up North – Ride #2

When I set this fatbike vacation and trip up, I had a specific goal, or shall I say experience, in mind. That being provide a big, big day of riding, a trip up to Carlton Peak & Tofte Peak, a trailside cook out and a ride back to our base camp cabin. I wanted to […]

Up North – Ride #1

We arrived in Duluth, MN around noon at the meeting place, the Tot Lot on Canal Park road. Eki was there already as was Ben. After some brief intros Farrow showed as well. I was excited to ride the beach but given the 12+ inches of fresh snow on the ground, we didn’t really know […]

Up North – Ride #3

I finally am getting my images and thoughts processed from this past week up north riding fatbikes (Salsa Mukluks) with friends. It was an incredible time. I usually do recaps and stories in chronological order, but this time I’m just doing them as they come to mind. I’m starting with ride #3 simply because it […]

A hard look back

Rest stop at north woods shelter Last night I finally processed all my images from the past week of riding fatbikes with friends in northern MN. You know what, I am mostly disappointed with my pictures. Sure I got a few really good ones, and one so good I don’t know what to do with […]

Portraits from up North

We made it back to Minneapolis from the great white north. Awesome time on fatbikes. Great friends. Amazing scenery. Lot’s of stories to tell. I’ll get to that. Today I’ll share just a few portraits. I’m working on my portraits and I’ve found a combo of camera and lens I really like. I’ll tell you […]

Fatbike Heaven

One more Mukluk ride before heading home. We could not have asked for better weather and conditions. I am pretty sure I got a few good images to share. Stay tuned.

Blog Holiday

I am out this week. Taking a little R & R and at the same time hopefully finding some photo inspiration. The shack I’m hiding out in doesn’t have internet or cell service and that is a good thing. I’ll be back Thursday or Friday.

Fatbike Friday

Today’s post is inspired by our friends at Fat-Bike.com. They have put a number of links to my blog. Now it’s time to link mine to theirs. Thanks guys for the Fatbike Friday. Hope you like my edition. It’s also appropriate because I am headed north with a few friends for some Muklukin’ fun on […]

Enjoy the Leap

Hope you take the extra day this year to do something you’ve always wanted to do or put off because you don’t have enough time.

Old vs New

I’ve had some time to think recently and I don’t know about you, but when I have time to think it is sometimes dangerous. Sometimes free thinking is close to being unhealthy. Over the past several days I’ve been wrestling with this notion of old vs new. For me personally, I’m wrestling with the cost […]

Up North on fatbikes

Recently, I had some friends come from Japan for work. They were here for Frostbike. I wrote about it on the Salsa blog last week. It was a great time. One thing I realized when identifying and pulling content to my new website is that I often don’t write or feature any content from work. […]

Nikon D7000 Impressions

Originally posted October 11, 2011 A while back I wrote about selling my higher end Canon 7D kit and moving to a Nikon D7000 with some cash back in the bank. Beyond that, I haven’t said much about it. Part of that was because I was focused on my small camera situation and looking to […]
