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. […]

Up North – A quick getaway to winterwonderland

Last Friday after the kids got home from school my wife, kids, dog and I headed up north for a private get away. I think it was our introverted tendencies reacting to hosting Christmas at our house. We wanted a quiet place, away from all the rig-a-ma-roll of the city. We arrived late in the […]

After a couple years of wondering on this blog, I have finally found my way and created a new vision for where I want to go here at ImagineGnat. The background here is that I left a job a few years ago that had my personal identity wrapped up in my work and the brand […]

Krampus Kleaning

I have a couple of friends that think I don’t maintain my bikes. While they may be dirty and occasionally make some noise, they generally work pretty darn well. But….To show them that I do in fact work on my bikes, here are a few pics from spring cleaning. My Krampus needs to be prepared […]
