Riding with my daughter

This past few weeks have been amazing for me and for my family. Our schedule has been just slightly less than full tilt. I’ve been riding and preparing my gear for my fall fatbike tour. I’ve also been riding with my kids. This past week was also mountain bike camp/school for my kids. They spent […]

River Bottoms Domination

For the 3rd Friday in a row, I was able to pull of a Friday Dirt To Work River Ramble. It is so unbelievably great that I can ride this valley into work and even more great than I get to ride to work with many of my friends (and coworkers). It makes what I […]

Ride more….Shoot less!

This past week has been a revelation for me. Despite being a solo dad for almost a week while my wife was in London, I somehow had one of the best weeks of riding that I can remember. Even though schedules were a bit crazy, I found time to do what I love. Dang it […]

Friday Morning River Ramble

I finally got out to the Minnesota River Valley. I’ve been itching for some longer time in the saddle. I knew due to the flooding over the past couple of months that the river bottoms would be muddy, sandy and filled with debris. I got exactly what I planned for and hoped for. It was […]

Ride Stoke

Sometimes pictures say more than words. This picture may be my personal favorite shot of the year and I just want to share it. Get out and enjoy your weekend.

Shooting the All City Championships Bandit Cross Race

For those watching, All-City has worked it’s way into my heart and when I look into my bike arsenal, I find that I now have 3 All-City’s in my quiver. I simply love steel bikes and I love what All-City is doing. (Disclaimer Alert: I also work with All-City). I started following what A-C was […]

Souris Valley – North Dakota big country

I am a little behind in my posting but the memories of my trips and my rides are fresh and at the front of my mind. When I need to escape the hustle & bustle of the city, as well as my stress from work, I often escape to my memories of the Souris River […]

A much needed morning in the country

While I should be going through my images from June for my June Image Dump post, I am doing a quick post about my ride in the country yesterday. It was muggy. It was wet feeling. It was foggy and moody. It was just awesome. I really needed that. The recipe for life depicted in […]

Storm Rolling In

Today I bring to you the first of a series of my favorite pics. I’ll be posting a few images that I love or are super popular on my Tumblr blog. I am super proud to share the first. I call this one “Storm rolling in” and I took it last weekend up in Duluth, […]

My favorite places

I grew up in MN. Trips to Lake Superior were special. I remember the first time I saw Gooseberry Falls. I remember the first time I tried to swim in Lake Superior. I remember the first time at Split Rock Lighthouse and the endless supply of skipping rocks. I could go on and on with […]

Riding with my son

Last Friday I had this great plan. I was planning on working, riding my bike then going to take photos at the pro cycling race that was in town. Somewhere around 5:00 my plan was foiled when I realized I left my camera bag at work in my workspace. Dang it. Fortunately, my neighbor called […]

Father’s Day Fargo Ride

For the second time in a month, my son’s second day of his soccer tournament (Unfortunately, his Sunday Championship game day) got cancelled due to weather. While that is terrible news for him, it was great news for me. I made coffee and quickly headed out in the dark, cold, windy and rainy morning. As […]

May 2014 Image Dump – Wow, what a month!

As I sat down tonight to review images and memories from May, I knew I had a busy month but until I looked at the images, I didn’t realize just how much I did. I had to trim the pictures quite a bit or we’d have to break these up into two posts. I really […]

Thursday Night Lights at the NSC Velodrome

Inspired by my internet friend Wade (SAMOBIKER), I finally got out to the track to spectate and take some track racing images. What a night. Could not have been a better opening night. The infield was packed and I had a blast. I won’t bore you with words. I will just say if you have […]

Small Camera. Big Picture. Yashica T4 film camera.

It’s been quiet for a week over here at ImagineGnat. While it may appear I am not alive and kicking any longer, I am doing well. Springtime has sprung and both home and work are super busy. However, that isn’t the reason I have been absent. I’ve been shooting film and if you can remember […]
