Well, I am not really sure how to start these things, so I guess I will start by welcoming you to my photography site and blog. I imagine this will just be the place were I can ramble on about what I have been shooting recently and life in general. Having never been very good at keeping my travel journals, I hope this will be a little different, as it is a bit more interactive and I hope to hear from all of you out there who have taken interest in my photography and care to send any questions or comments my direction. I am going to aim for weekly updates, so check back occasionally to see what I have been doing. For those of you who have visited my old site, you will notice there have been drastic changes in the layout. There were a few reasons for this, but mainly, I tend to get tired of looking at the same thing day in and day out, and thought it needed a refresh…plus I have always liked the flash interface.
For this first post I am only going to post one image that I shot recently. The photographer is me, and the rider is me as well. I devised a way to mix my two passions, and it turns out that I came home with some really cool images. In this shot, I am cruising along on some of my local trails at about 20-25mph. I was hoping to convey the feeling of speed with this image and I think it worked out well. With the ground streaking by, the angle of the horizon in the upper right corner and a touch of motion blur in my hand and cables, I can almost feel what it is like to ride this trail just by looking at the photo. I hope you feel the same way. Thank you for looking…
