Image No. 11 of a 30 day project

I'm a day late posting this shot. I decided to watch that 

zombie show instead of processing a photo.

Is this thing on?

It's been almost a year since I posted anything here... that sucks.

I recently pulled out the camera gear, called a few friends and made some images happen. 

Check out more images at my old web site: kinetic-images.com 

Hopefully it will not be another year before I post something again. 

clemson DH

I went to my first bike race of the season a couple of weekends ago. It was a very wet and muddy race in the Experimental Forest at Clemson. The morning of the race, it started to drizzle as I walked from the hotel to my truck. By the time I made it out of the parking lot it was a steady rain. It prettymuch poured aaall daaay long. It was my first trip down for one of the Clemson Freeride races and I was a little eeyored by the weather. I took very few photos throughout the day. It was just too wet to get out the camera gear, but it was still an enjoyable trip.

It was about 11:00 am when I checked my phone and saw a pic message of the subject for my image of the day. It wasn't until about 11:00 pm that I started setting up the shot though. My buddy Merritt, owner of Re:Cycles Bike Shop, brought his new hotness over to my place for a late night shoot. He has a polished black market killswitch, freshly built with all kinds of shinny polished bits. I was stoked to get a photograph of it in it's still virgin state.
This bike is sick!

Here are a few shots from an engagement shoot with a couple of good friends that ride bikes and just pretty much have a good time where ever they go.

The High Country

A few weekends ago I went to the high country to check out a down hill race at Beech Mountain. It was the first DH race held at Beech in 10 years, from what I understand. This was the first in a three race series the resort is hosting this summer. More info can be found at the series web site. I went up for the weekend to check out the new track and more or less just hang out. I took some photos but I did more talking and dorking around than anything else. So here are a few shots I was stoked on from my weekend.

First Post!

Well I guess it’s about time I post something on this here blog. I mean, I signed up for it like 11 months ago or something... Anyway, I plan on updating this thing as often as I get time to do so. I might be a little too optimistic by saying this, but i would like to update it several times a week. But who knows? I’ve been pretty inspired here lately and I hope to make this blog one of my outlets for my creative fix, photography.

I’ll start with the subject “bikes”. I like to ride them and I have many, many… many photos of people riding them. So here are some of my fav's from the last couple of years.
