Recent Adventure Photography: Fall Mountain Bike Photos
I miss fall in New England. There’s a reason so many make their way to Vermont, New Hampshire and western Massachusetts to experience the kaleidoscope of colors that blanket the rolling hills and quaint towns. But thankfully, here in the pacific northwest, we too can experience the magic of fall. And I suppose it could [...]
Why You Should Always Shoot in RAW
In a perfect world we photographers would always have perfect light. The world isn’t perfect. And so occasionally there are going to be times when you simply can’t do anything to improve the (light) situation…so you just need to shoot and hope for the best. This is often the case if you’re outdoors, on a [...]
Mt St Helens Pictures
Where else can you mountain bike on the side of an active volcano? The mountain bike trails that skirt the site of past Mt St Helens eruptions are truly one-of-a-kind. I don’t know of any other place in the US, if not the world, that offers such a unique and inspiring ride.

Mountain Biking Vietnam
Located at an elevation of 4500 ft (1500 meters) Dalat, Vietnam, provides a much needed respite from the searing heat seen elsewhere in the country.

Gear Report: Lowepro Slingshot 200 Camera Bag
I love outdoor gear. My ‘office’ is crowded with bikes, skis, soft-shell jackets, etc…but really, when I look at it all, I’m pleased that all of it gets used. Very little of it collects dust. So as much as I would enjoy contributing to our ailing economy by buying even more stuff, I’d much rather [...]
Moss Is Your Friend
There are many reasons to live in the Pacific Northwest, even if it does rain a bit here and there. Sure we have moss sprouting from the roofs of our homes, but now I know that’s a good thing.
Mosses cannot survive in polluted air. Like the lichens, they need a healthy atmosphere to survive. [...]
A Look Back…the Chilean Bike Odyssey
It’s hard to believe that it’s been nearly 5 years since I embarked on, and survived (barely) my little bike adventure down in Patagonia, Chile. The route, a whole lot of kilometers from El Chalten, Argentina, to Puerto Montt, Chile, would eventually take me just under a month to complete (with 2 rest days.) It [...]
Cycling & Bike Tour Photos
I’m not sure I could survive without my bike. From short rides along the shore of West Seattle, to epic month-long bike tours in Chile, I love to ride. Here are some photos I took along the way.
