Opposites, Black Market and Brighter

Funny that I stumble across trailer’s for Black Market’s Killswitch promo and the trailer for Brighter on the same day.  Opposites attract, eh? This first one, Black Market’s Killswitch promo, I’m digging the both the opening sequence and camera on the bike, showing the suspension articulating…would love to see more of that in bike videos [...]

Cannondale/Cyclocrossworld.com Promo
Cannondale/Cyclocrossworld.com Promo

The Cannondale/Cyclocrossworld.com CX team used a few of my images, and one from Lyne @ Podium Insight (great one of Tim Johnson in his Nat’l Championship kit) for a poster to promote a party they’re having to celebrate a crazy successful 2009 season. Link to the invite is here.  Link to the pdf is here. [...]

Bonus Car Photo

Went to visit Charlotte, NC for the first time last week.  A friend of mine got engaged and he and his fiance just bought themselves a house.  I figure that warrants a visit.  On the ride down I started playing around w/ the camera (it’s a long drive).  Got this shot somewhere just outside of [...]

Maybe You Heard About the Snow in DC

Being that I’m a sports photographer, getting to location is of paramount importance.  So, when not flying, I need reliable, all-weather transportation. It should come as no surprise then that I drive a RWD convertible sportscar.  Huh? I said I was a photographer, not practical, hehe. Like the title of the post implies, we got [...]

Bike Rumor Pic of the Day

My muddy ‘cross pic was the pic of the day on Dec 14th.  Sweet!

Capitol Cross 2009

On Saturday the DC Metro area got between 2-3″ of snow, some suburbs registered a bit more.  Regardless, it made for a picturesque and MUDDY Capitol Cross 2009.  The USGP Finals were in Portland, OR this weekend as well – as much as I wanted to be out there, from what I was hearing (and [...]

Bonus Photo!

Forgot to add this as part of my Whitmore pics, so I’m giving it it’s own post. Jeremy Powers leading Tim Johnson.  I’m digging the colors, their expressions, and the fact that they’re both at the same point in their pedal strokes.

Whitmore Super Cross Cup in Southampton

My buddy Craig and I shot the Whitmore Super Cross Cup in Southampton, LI on Nov 21 and 22.  Full write-up about the races (along with some of my photos) can be seen on CX Mag (day 1 and day 2). I just want to share my favorite shots with you. Off camber, downhill, right [...]

USGP of CX @ Mercer

I had the opportunity to shoot the USGP of CX @ Mercer for CX Magazine in November.  This shoot was a lot of fun for me as I’m ‘local’ to Mercer.  I was born and raised 20 minutes down the road, and worked at a bike shop (Halter’s) that had a location not 5 minutes [...]

Unadilla MX Photos Are Up

Like I mentioned earlier, Unadilla has added some photos of mine to their website (thanks!).  They’re a bit small/low-res on the site so I’m resposting the same here, in higher quality.  Enjoy! Full set from the weekend can be seen, here.

Redline Round 6 Photos In Print
Redline Round 6 Photos In Print

I mentioned it before, here, but that doesn’t make it any less exciting to see your own work in print.  So here are the scans of the article that my photos appear in from the November 09 issue of Performance Auto and Sound magazine (pasmag.com). Table of contents.  p104, that’s me! Big thanks to Laura [...]

Getting Caught Up

I feel it’s terribly cliche to whine about not being able to update one’s blog.  So call me cliche.  This is my ‘catching up’ post.  Catching up, as in, I’ve been really busy! October’s been a historically busy month, and October 2009 proved no different.  Packed up the car at the end of the month [...]

Fifth Street ‘Cross and Goat Milk

Last Thursday I tagged along with Jay and Larry to Fifth Street CX.  It was a bit of a hike for me, but well worth it.  The race goes like this, you can go the long way around the course (4 lap race), or take the shortcut.  But to take the shortcut you’ve got to [...]

Unadilla Gallery Photos
Unadilla Gallery Photos

As I mentioned earlier, I approached the Unadilla MX facility to see if they’d like to host a gallery of my photos on their website.  They’ve agreed, and the photos should be published within the next week or two.  In the meantime, I’m making the same photos available to you, right now. Clicking on any [...]

Performance Auto and Sound Redline Gallery

More published photos to report. My pics from Round 6 of the Redline Time Attack have been posted at Performance Auto and Sounds website.  You can see the pics, here.  I’ve been told that a selection of these will end up in print in a fall/winter issue.  When they are, I’ll let you know!
