Kicking off 2024

Kicking off 2024. It’s already off plan but it’s all good! While I didn’t accomplish all my goals I had for week 1, here’s a preview of one of my personal projects; My 2024 Film Project

Bikes of 2022 – All the others!

Recapping my favorite bikes I rode in 2022. Gravel, fat and mountain bikes. I also share a sneak peek at 2023 and a few hints at projects in the works.

The power of the bicycle

This is a quick photo story of last week’s mini Minnesota Ramble. But the ramble is truly secondary to the deeper meaning of this post. This post is about the power of the bicycle. What you can do with it as well as the power it has bringing people and communities together. Over the course […]

Fragments of my life – In search of light

I was on a shooting high for about 3 weeks. No matter where I looked, I felt I could see a shot in just about everything. Then it all went dark. Nothing. I shut it all down and just went in search of light. I rode my bike. I shot only when I saw something. […]

3 Trails – 1 Day

I needed a little ride stoke today. I’ve been on a personal high the 1st two weeks and my energy level and output has taken a toll. If I can’t ride, the second best thing for me to do is to go down into my own little creative space in my basement and work on […]

Goodnight 2015

As 2015 comes to an end I share one last shot from 2015. It’s fitting. It’s sunset on one of the final days. It’s everything I love about being outside; being out in the woods, friend(s), bikes and photography. Thank you all for a great 2015. Here’s to a great 2016.

Fragments of my Life – December 2015

I am making one final post and push for December 2015. December has been a high note for me both personally and photographically. I’ve also prioritized riding and I’ve been getting out more. The result? More photos and an overall positive end to the year. My web metrics don’t lie either, with my newfound vision […]

First Tracks

Our winter here in MN hasn’t been great if you like snow. Thankfully we got a dusting on Christmas night. I made plans to ride in the morning, well below first light, as I knew the trees and the ground would be covered in soft snow. The beauty did not disappoint. But the real beauty […]

A much needed day in the woods

It’s been quiet around here. I know it. I was sick last week and I had two days where I was in bed until about 3:00 in the afternoon. Ugh. Didn’t do much really. Slept. Thought about a lot of things. Slept some more. I did get a post up on my Fuji X 365 […]

MN River Crawling

I finally have come out of my desert rambling dream and accepted that I am in Minnesota and I need to both prepare and embrace the next several months of winter. As a break in, my buddy John and I got out to ride over our Thanksgiving holiday weekend. As we headed out I found […]

Desert Ramble – The Route & Favorite Pics

Before I get started on today, I just want to say thanks to everyone that checked out my postcard and portrait project I posted on Monday. Based on stats, it is the most popular thing I have ever done on my blog. Ever! Wow. Thank you all so much for taking the time to view […]

Desert Ramble – The People!

After a week of exploring the desert southwest with 9 others and after 17 hours of driving, I am back in MN. I left the desert tired & inspired and returned to snow. Crazy. Yet, even with snow I can’t curb my enthusiasm for this past trip. While it didn’t go as planned, it took […]

Up north on film

Just 1 month ago I was up in northern MN riding Salsa Mukluks with friends. When I scanned these images two nights ago I was shocked. Not because of the images themselves, although I do like them quite a lot, but because of the SNOW! Wow. Just one month ago we were riding in a […]

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 […]
