09-24-2013 Well, maybe there is no need for such drama. I took this photo five years ago as a personal assignment. I wanted to illustrate how it feels to ride a bicycle on a busy city street.

College football is a blast

Riders, like Kenny Roberts above, … Continue reading Blur + Detail = Action! (Part 1)
Independence Day – 2009
July 3, 2009 Happy 4th of July! After the Sacramento Rivercats game ended on Friday night, they had a pretty nice fireworks display at Raley Field.

I included one of the towers of the Tower Bridge because I wanted a stationary and recognizable object … Continue reading Independence Day – 2009
Getting There on Two Wheels
