2010 Cyclo-Cross Nationals – Bend, OR

2010 Cyclo-Cross Nationals - Bend, OR

It’s snowing in Portland today and that reminded me of the time I went to Bend in December to see the 2010 USA Cyclo-Cross Nationals. Cold, wet, mud, all combined with fierce competition to make this a truly exciting event to watch and shoot. I shot it for fun, but I like how these shots [...]

Finish Line (Redo) | OBRA at PIR

Doh! This was suppose to post today, not yesterday. Mea culpa. Anyway, I love the very warm tones from the last shots of the day. Nothing better than a late summer sun. Sad to see it go. And so concludes my little photo series of OBRA bike racing at PIR. If you’d like to see [...]

Today I’m starting a 6 days of shooting in a row. Each day is either for a different client or in different location all over Oregon and Washington. When it rains it pours!

Fast Track | OBRA at PIR

I have a very busy week coming up, so not much time for commentary. I like this shot though. A rider ahead of the pack. No crowds cheering her on. Just sole determination to push herself and stay in the lead. A strong metaphor for life in general.

Sauvie Cyclocross

Since I retired thought I would retire my old photoblog (ides-of-may), I decided to start posting personal work on this blog instead. These posts will be photoblogs that aren’t quite full projects or client work;  more like mini photo essays. It’ll have the same flavor as before, just a gallery of images rather than singles [...]
