Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Bikes: looks like a specialized crux now

My messenger bags usually have a padded bottom and padded back and even then the camera stay inside of another camera bag. my favorite prime lens sits inside of bubble wrap. In 6 + years maybe 7, I have only ever droped one slr while riding and it was my fault.Plus I don't throw my bag around.

So my camera is usually safe in my bag. I carry my camera every time I go out.

And carelton is right, there is a post your pics thread in foo. That would benefit from some of the amazing pictures that are turning up in here.

Love this. Reminds me of Winogrand's Leica:

I used it A LOT. I snapped that photo of it before I lost it. I think I left it in a taxi.

Here is a reference pic of how small it is:

Traveling on bike with an SLR is a pain in the butt no matter how you look at it. I hate to say it. I'm speaking from experience. When I shot BMX, I would have to carry my SLR while riding to different spots with the guys doing tricks. I used one of those backpack SLR case things that looked like a school backpack. It sucked. You had to get off the bike and lay the bag flat on the ground to get access to the camera body and lenses.

My advice. Find a small camera and learn how to make great photos with it.

I don't take my work seriously. I just have a 35mm SLR I like to mess around with. most of the fun comes from developing the pictures in the wet lab. If you dig my pics let me know

first thing I ever developed in a dark room, a photogram of muhammad ali



my favorite bike related picture





first multiple negative project

I agree.

No reason for anyone to be a dick about something they don't agree with. Plus there is no such thing as "wrong" white balance, unless you're going for a specific look and you got it wrong in that case. One person might like a certain look while another will like something completely different.

Personally mucky, I don't care for the color tones in your photos, but you didn't see me whining about it. You might like it and that's fine, doesn't mean everyone has to.. to each his own..

His photos do seems a little warm, but it works. It looks great, so there's no reason to bring it up. Sometimes it isn't about having the most technically perfect image, but instead the one that just works the best.
