I like taking pictures

I have put off posting pics for a bit. I haven’t sat at my computer. I haven’t filed them away. I haven’t tweaked them in Lightroom. I haven’t carefully processed these. Nope. I am slipping. But….I like taking pictures. Actually, I love taking pictures. I just don’t know what to do with them once I […]

Gnational Lampoon Vacation

I know I have only had one post in almost two months. Yep, I stink at this. As I always write when I have these gaps, it isn’t, or wasn’t, intentional. I either have nothing meaningful to share & no good images to go along with the words OR I have been traveling and out […]

Summer ’17 – Photo Dump

I know it’s been a ghost town here at Imaginegnat.com. Today, someone I share a common love of photography with asked me if I was still shooting and still planning to maintain my blog as he had checked back weekly for over a month without updates. Sorry folks. I am good but I have been […]

Morning, Noon and Night

Just a quick post today of a short photo project I did this past weekend while up north. Nothing too special, but I was enamored with the view and the idea of possibility while looking at the scene below. I also loved how quickly the scene changed with the weather. This is why I carry […]

Gravel by Sunrise

While I am sitting here drinking coffee and processing images, a large number of my friends are riding Dirty Kanza. There was a brief moment where I was planning to go down there to do photography, be in the community and support my friends. In the end, I decided to stay on the path I […]

Living Life to the Fullest – May Image Dump

While I could write several different stories this month and I considered it based on the pictures below, I instead decided to just share what my month has looked like. Its been good. Real good. As I wrote last month, I am slowly taking my life back from my imbalance of work, home and self. […]

Fragments of my life – Getting My Life Back

This past month, I have made it a priority to get my life back. The last few years my work pressure has gone up immensely and chasing my active and amazing kids around has become nearly a full time job. This has left little time for me and as a strong introvert, that can be […]

Some time away with friends – Spring Break 2017

I know, it’s been silent here. Like most posts I have written in the past year, I start with I have been busy. This past month has been no different. We did, however, take a much needed break to Mexico for Spring Break. We went back to the same area we went two years ago […]

Gnat Image Dump

It’s been a bit. A long bit. I am ok though. Just busy. And I mean really busy. Life is good but at times a bit chaotic. But I am living life and living out my work hard play hard motto. I don’t have too many words right now. Trying to be a good father, […]

A dream come true – Shooting the Aurora Borealis in Iceland

Greeting folks. I am slowly getting back into shooting after over two weeks home. I have a shoot this weekend that I hope will yield something worth sharing. But, before I move on from one of the most amazing photographic experiences of my life, I wanted to share this post about shooting the Aurora Borealis. […]

Iceland Photo Trip – My top 15 personal favorite pictures

I think it was two, or maybe three, years ago that I wrote down for my new year’s declarations that I was going to do a dedicated photography trip that did not involve cycling. This past July when I had a bike trip cancelled later in the year, a couple of my friends and I […]

Some Time Away from the Bike

I am almost afraid to write this here on the blog. I fear public ridicule. Honestly, it feels a little bit like a confessional, anxiety going into it and relief coming out of it.So here goes. I HAVE NOT RIDDEN MY BIKE IN OVER A MONTH! There I said it. But, not all is lost. […]

That’s a Wrap – Bring on 2017

And just like that, 2016 is almost over. What a blur. 2016 was an incredible year for me and my family. It was filled with the highest of highs and some pretty low points. Thankfully, the highs outnumbered the lows and my family is strong and good. As I look back on the year, a […]

Imaginegnat’s Best Images of 2016

As we prepare for another new year, I took a moment to look back at my blog posts and my instagram feed to find my most popular images. This is a mix of my personal favorites as well as supporters favorites. It was quite a year. I know the year isn’t over yet, but I […]

A quick trip to London

I am still amazed that airplanes can get off the ground and it’s possible to get on a plane and wake up somewhere else. That somewhere else can be near or far. Recently, the combination of a formal invitation to an event and cheap airline deals resulted in my wife and I making a last […]
