Unadilla 2010

Went back to Unadilla last weekend.  Working through my pics as fast as I can. Teaser for now – ‘I see you…’

Aleks Moto

My good buddy Aleks asked if I’d get a few shots of him on his dual sport motorcycle. I said ‘no prob’. So we went out one afternoon as the temp neared 100(!) and got some fun shots.

Funny name, great race venue!  I covered it for cyclingnews.com.  The race report, with my photos, can be found here.  Sue also did a follow up piece with a few of my photos on Krista Park, who lives out of an RV!  How neat is that!?  (article is here.)  Sometimes I feel like I live [...]

This is Drifting – Formula D, NJ

This is drifting. Monster pic post from Formula D @ Wall, NJ.  Let’s go!

Are Philly Fans the Worst Fans in Sports?

Maybe. They threw snowballs at Santa Claus decades ago.  They vandalized a mobile broadcast booth recently.  And when I was there to photograph the TD Bank Philadelphia International Championships, I saw this:

Plattekill KHS Gravity Open – Pro GRT #2

Backtracking a bit, I shot the Plattekill KHS Gravity Open (Pro GRT #2) in May.  That’s a mouthful, eh? Camped overnight between the practice day and the finals. Getting good use out of the side of the Voncooper van.

2010 Tour of the Gila Photos

Quick and dirty post this morning.  Finally had a chance to sort through some of the photos I took during the 5 stages of the 2010 Tour of the Gila.  Camping and photo editing don’t go together so well… First off, cheers to the event organizers for putting on a heck of an event.  Great [...]

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 [...]

Doe, A Deer…

I’ve posted several pics about the weekend I had celebrating my buddy’s 30th, what with the house, snow, beer, hot tub, etc.  What I failed to mention were the deer that had taken up residence on the edge of the property, nestled under some snowy pine trees. So one afternoon I broke out the 70-200, [...]

DSLR Music Video

The Noises 10, ‘You’re Never Gonna Be That Good.’ The Noises 10 “You’re Never Gonna Be that Good” from Ramon Boutviseth on Vimeo. Everything but the slo-mo was shot on a DSLR. A D90.  Chew on that for a minute and enjoy the song and video.  I did.  Maybe you will, too.

Stress

After posting my video short, ‘Beer Run‘ on s2ki.com, a poster mentioned that it reminded him of Claude Lelouch’s 1976 film, Rendevous. Short Movie Rendez-Vous of Claude Lelouch, in Paris in 1976 On an August morning in 1976, French filmmaker Claude Lelouch mounted a gyro-stabilized camera to the bumper of a Mercedes. He drive at [...]

Snowpocalypse S2000 Beer Run

Testing out a new camera mount.  If you’ve got 5 minutes that you don’t necessarily need back, check it out.

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. [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Kaaterskill Falls and Gravity East at Plattekill
Kaaterskill Falls and Gravity East at Plattekill

This post is going to be long.  If you want the cliff notes version, here it is, taken from my Facebook status update – “My weekend by the numbers: 900 miles driven. 1/2 ton of stone and 1 shed moved. 2 waterfalls hiked. 1 bonfire attended. 500 photos taken. Countless beers drank. 9 hours slept [...]

New Lens, CP Finale, Gravity East

Lots happening in the last week for me.  Took delivery of a new lens… …and went and shot the final race of 2009 in Central Park on Saturday morning with it.  It was the CRCA Club Team Finale.  Good weather, good racing (though I hear there was an altercation after the race, boo!) and good [...]

Redline Time Attack at Englishtown
Redline Time Attack at Englishtown

It’s been an extremely busy week for me and there are no signs that things calm down any in the near future.  I guess that’s a good problem to have! I was granted a media pass to Round 6 of the Redline Time Attack @ Englishtown Raceway in NJ on Sunday, Aug 30th.  Saturday’s event, [...]

Floyd Bennett Field – Aug 25, 2009
Floyd Bennett Field – Aug 25, 2009

I stand corrected.  Tonight wasn’t the final round of the FBF series, next week is.  Although, I’d have been fine if things ended tonight as the light could not have been better!  No clouds in the sky and a bright afternoon/evening sun made for some great light. Cat 5, breaking away: 3/4′s w/ a helicopter [...]

Mengoni Grand Prix and Lou Maltese Memorial
Mengoni Grand Prix and Lou Maltese Memorial

Shot two races this weekend.  Both in Central Park, which is ‘home’ to me.  On the upside, it’s tons easier for me to get to.  Conversely, it’s larger than Prospect Park, so the riders do fewer laps, which means fewer photo ops.  Can’t have your cake and eat it too, right? Saturday morning, 6:15am, hiding [...]

Unadilla Pro National Motocross Weekend
Unadilla Pro National Motocross Weekend

This had to be one of the most fun shooting experiences I’ve had. A friend of mine has almost 30 acres of undeveloped land in New Berlin, NY.  So we went camping up there the same weekend as the 2009 Unadilla Pro National Motorcross Championship (pronounced you-na-dill-uh.  I was mispronouncing it for the weeks leading [...]

Al Toefield Memorial Road Race
Al Toefield Memorial Road Race

Craig and I went to shoot the Al Toefield Memorial Road Race in Prospect Park on Saturday.  The race started at 6:30am.  Getting into the park from lower Manhattan at that hour proved to be a giant pain in the butt as the subways are running on wacky schedules at that time of night/early morning. [...]

Happy Belated 4th
Happy Belated 4th

My gf and I spent the 4th of July vacationing in California.  The plan was to do several days in LA, then drive down to San Diego, then up the coast all the way to San Francisco. We made it, and the drive was spectacular.  But that’s not what this is about.  Nope, this is [...]
