I took these photos last September, but kinda sorta forgot to post them. So I am proud to present the most tardy Cross Vegas Cyclocross race photos ever. This annual Las Vegas cyclocross race is unusual in that the pro races take place after dark. This makes photographing the event an interesting challenge. I traveled...
Some snaps from a quick photo shoot on a scenic day in the Colorado Rocky Mountains.
The fall colors were at their peak last week, and I was determined to capture some magazine portfolio images before the snow started to fly. In the coming months I will be transforming this blog into a portfolio website for my travel, lifestyle and adventure sports photography. I will be specifically shooting images with a...
I went paddleboarding for the first time today on Boulder Reservoir! It ruled. The Cloud Whisperer was able to manifest a brilliant sunset. Life is good.
Full gallery of Valmont Bike Park Photos on Facebook. There is a new biking game in the town of Boulder, and it’s called Valmont Bike Park. This is a public park where riders of all ages and abilities can come out and play and work on their skills. I’m an old school BMX kid from...
My previous blog post left off with my quick trip through Big Bend National Park. There was no time for delay, as I was prioritizing getting a mountain bike ride in on this day. My first intention was to ride the Contrabando Mountain Bike Trails in Big Bend State Park. But, everything seems to take...
Life is like learning to ride a wheelie. There are many things in life that we wish that we could do, or that we could do better. I’ve always wanted to learn to ride a wheelie, ever since I was a little BMX punk in the 80s. Why didn’t I know how? Simple. I never...
Today I went back to the original place where I first rode a mountain bike. I can’t believe that it’s been almost 20 years! Back in the day, the trails at Morris Bridge were a hodgepodge of unmarked and unnamed trails through the swamp and forest. Today there are trail maps, pay stations, and a...
On the way back from Salida I actually managed to get on my mountain bike and ride part of the Colorado Trail; the Kenosha Pass to Georgia Pass segment. Yes, I said part of it . . . I didn’t get up early enough to make it to the top. That’s my excuse and I’m...
A large chunk of the crew recently moved into a big house out in East Boulder. At the housewarming party my friends at Green Guru brought out a big stash of their vinyl supply to make a giant slip and slide! I lent my photo skills to capture some of the water sprayin’ body flingin’...
Here we are at the grand finale of Steve and Mel’s Great Sand Dunes adventure! In case you haven’t been following along, so far we’ve seen: Chapter 1 – Sunrise Landscapes Chapter 2 – Afternoon Planning Chapter 3 – Dune Camping & Night Shots Having checked out the appetizers, let’s dive into the main course;...
June 5th was National Trails Day, and I lent some photographing skills to help promote the creation and maintenance of our local trail network. Boulder Mountain Bike Alliance hosted a big trail building day at Betasso Preserve. In case you didn’t know, Betasso is getting a brand new loop, called the Benjamin Trail, that will...
I did my first two rides in the high country this weekend! The trails are running sweet in Ned, with the exception of the higher stuff which is still clogged with snow. I got turned around on School Bus by snow drifts. But I did ride the new Re-Root section of Root Canal. It’s pretty...
I was invited to play with a sea kayak yesterday, so I immediately jumped at the opportunity. Zihuatanejo Bay was pretty chopped up in the late afternoon, so I wasn’t about to attempt any photos while on the boat. But I did take a beach break and snapped a photo of the boat and some...
I headed up to Keystone today for my second day on the slopes this season. For the most part the mountain is a man-made, icy, Strip of Death. But it is fine to get the ski legs going, I’m going to make an attempt at getting some powder telemark turns in addition to snowboarding. I...
Here I am on the ski lift at Copper Mountain for Opening Day 2009! I think this is my first Colorado opening day, as I’m not usually a fan of battling the crowds on the Ribbon of Death! But, my friend Doug from Elevation Outdoors scored us some tickets, so I thought it would be...
This post is an oldie, but a goodie, so I’m going to recycle it! I haven’t been posting any mountain bike pictures because I don’t have time to ride any more, so let’s just reminisce about the good old days of unemployment! Back when I bought my first camera (a Canon 20d), I pulled it...
I hired a new employee. His name is Steve. Steves are cool. I was explaining to him how RadioPoppers PXs work, and that I can shoot off-camera flash way over the camera’s synch speed using High Speed Sync. To show my point, I took this shot of him at 1/8000 of a second. Because I...
It has been a hectic July for me workwise. Sad to say, I haven’t done a single ride! But I’m rectifying that this weekend by doing some rides up in Keystone. Here is a shot from the Colorado Trail high above Keystone. I lugged the tilt shift along and had a great day taking some...
