53 On March 7th

It’s been a seriously crap winter in the Northeast this year (if you define a crap winter as a warm one with no snow, as I do), so I’ve been spending more time on my bike than normal during this time of year. During today’s ride, I realized that I don’t share any of the [...]

Tuesday Nights @ Floyd Bennett Field – 7.27.2010

This week was even windier than last week.  But I want to focus on how expansive and empty this place is.  Really, it’s an abandoned airport runway… From Tuesday night, 7.27.2010 @ FBF.

Tuesday Nights @ Floyd Bennett Field

There really isn’t any break from the wind on an abandoned runway. From Tuesday night, 7.20.2010 @ FBF.

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.

Tourmalet

It was raining when I climbed the Tourmalet in 2006.  It’s supposed to be raining tomorrow when Stage 17 of the Tour finishes atop it. I can’t wait.

Massanutten Hoo Ha
Massanutten Hoo Ha

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 [...]

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 [...]

All In

Here’s a snippet from a blog post by Bill Strickland of Bicycling Magazine, He’s all in, which was the only way he was ever going to get in. Most of us say we would do the same, given the chance. And that’s probably right. But you’re not given the chance. You have to go out [...]

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 [...]

19 Most Dangerous Roads in the World

I like cars.  I like bikes.  After seeing these photos of the ’19 Most Dangerous Roads in the World’, my first thought was, ‘I wanna ride/drive these!’ Mind you, I have a bit of experience with the winding, twisting roads of Europe.  And, if I’m being perfectly honest, what I want to do is to [...]

SRAM Bokeh, eh?
SRAM Bokeh, eh?

I have a confession. I have an addiction. I’m addicted to magazines. :-P After finishing up some photos for Jae C Maie, I headed into NYC to visit with some friends.  While I was up there I wandered into the Barnes and Noble on 86th St. It’s a) brand new b) huge c) teeming with [...]

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. [...]

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.

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 [...]

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 [...]

Catch Kissena and Miles’s 2nd Birthday
Catch Kissena and Miles’s 2nd Birthday

Went and shot what’s probably the last race in Prospect Park for 2009 Saturday morning, Catch Kissena.  The format goes, the Kissena team heads out first with a 2 minute head start, the rest of the field has x laps to catch them.  Fun format to close things out on. One benefit of 6:30am race [...]

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 [...]
