Last February, in an effort to ditch the rain and see some friends we made plans to go to Tucson. At the last minute, we were thrown onto a five-person mountain bike team and all of a sudden we were competing in one of the greatest races in the country: 24-Hours in the Old Pueblo.… Continue reading 24-Hours in the Old Pueblo

Dayshoot 30 Exhibit at PDX
On July 15th, nearly two hundred photographers fanned out across Oregon to make pictures of this incredible state as part of the Dayshoot +30 photography project. The intention was to create a ‘visual time capsule’ for the Oregon Historical Society much as photographers did on July 15, 1983. I raced around a little bit and explored… Continue reading Dayshoot 30 Exhibit at PDX
Mount Lemmon
Leo and I were off exploring last week when it snowed in Tucson. We wandered through the university campus, dodging stunned and amazed phone-wielding students as they communicated to the world that white flakes the size of raffle tickets were falling from the sky. We passed the morning looking at Native American baskets, the W.… Continue reading Mount Lemmon
Cyclocross in the New York Times
A few days have slipped by since the New York Times ran a photo page with a stack of my cyclocross images from the past few years. I’m flattered and humbled by the placement, the comments and the high fives. Thanks for looking. Thanks for riding. I’ve shot many assignments and pictures have run in… Continue reading Cyclocross in the New York Times
More than a Kid’s Bike
They stood out from the seasoned bike builders and designers not because of their attire, their hair style or their choice of materials they used in the bike they designed for Oregon Manifest. It was the fact that they were 10, 11, 11 and 12 years old. The Folk Engineered/Discovery team from New Jersey that… Continue reading More than a Kid’s Bike
Cyclocross in Oregon
It’s almost like the holiday season and the urge to decorate and celebrate a few weeks earlier each year. There have already been several cross races and yet the big series is still weeks away. Yesterday’s race Pain and Suffer’n is an annual test of a racer’s ability to plow through pulverized hay fields and… Continue reading Cyclocross in Oregon
The Tape
I met this very nice photographer at the 2010 USA Cycling Cyclo-cross National Championships. We greeted each other, smiled about the fact that we’re both named Tim. He told me he shoots a lot of surfing and that sounded quite nice given that the temperature was hovering in the low 30s and it was starting… Continue reading The Tape
Good Cheers and Good Hugs at the Cyclocross National Championships
Just because riders are racing for the top spot on the podium, a medal and the stars and stripes champion jersey it doesn’t mean that these folks are hardened and seasoned tough guys. Things got a bit emotional at the finish line this past Friday morning. And when you’re just barely a teenager and competing… Continue reading Good Cheers and Good Hugs at the Cyclocross National Championships
Cyclocross winding down, but ramping up
Sunday was the last race of the Cross Crusade cyclocross series here in the Portland area. It’s been a wet and wonderful time. There are just three weekends of racing left here in the area…but one of those includes the National Championships over in Bend. So while things are heading toward a seasonal calm, those… Continue reading Cyclocross winding down, but ramping up
Splish. Splash.
Hillsboro 2009 My photography pal called me out: “Dude. You remade your own picture!” Guilty, I thought. I couldn’t resist shooting the watery slop of a puddle the racers were slicing through last week at PIR. And yes, it’s the same idea as last year’s image from the Hillsboro race. But, hey, they were going… Continue reading Splish. Splash.
