ansel was a major inspirational factor in my photographical educationalisms, his methods are ingrained in me My cousin did a workshop with Adams in California. He invited a few of them to his house and showed them his darkroom and such. Did a few proofs - ripped one in half and threw it into the microwave to dry it. My cousin asked if she could have it. Signed and framed in her living room now. Rowell was one of my hero's. He was a runner, would get up before dawn, run 10 miles at high mountain altitude to some location just to bracket a few shots during the "Magic moment" just before/after dawn. Many National Geographic cover shots that way. Died in a small plane crash. Check out his book Mountain Light. https://books.google.com/books/about...d=rOjbAAAAMAAJ |

Back home for a bit. There are hills in N. Florida. I live in the boonies but there's a 7 mile greenway that takes me into town. Fun gravel trails that are doable on a road bike, real fun and curvy. ft. terrible porch

The Panama Canal is in the background of us posing with the bikes. |
I'm usually a fan of unorthodox architecture but that building makes me want to punch something. maybe I'm just grumpy.

Can you tell me what that is in the seventh picture? It looks like some kind of Hindu shrine or memorial?

Just a few from this past weekend...finally got to ride the mountain bike again.
https://speshuled.smugmug.com/Bikes/...91039318_n.jpg I was trying to be all cool and slide my back tire, unfortunately, I just ran into a cactus. https://speshuled.smugmug.com/Bikes/...89738_n-X2.jpg Me picking thorns out of my wheel, woohoo for tubeless. https://speshuled.smugmug.com/Bikes/...0046061-X2.jpg https://speshuled.smugmug.com/Bikes/...0035599-X2.jpg My buddy took his cross bike out...I was very impressed at his bike handling skills. I have 2.2" 29er tires and I was washing out in the soft sand and he stayed upright the entire time. https://speshuled.smugmug.com/Bikes/...0035821-X2.jpg https://speshuled.smugmug.com/Bikes/...0035854-X2.jpg https://speshuled.smugmug.com/Bikes/...MG_7569-X3.jpg |

Fat biking in Whistler. The conditions were not that great for the biking, but the scenery was incredible. And, that truck in the parking lot was too cool not to post.

beard is on point also There's a couple of full moon road rides near me but I've never heard of mtb one. I'd love to take it out at night though, this summer for sure. |
More shots from the local greenway that I use to get into town. About 10 miles of trails like these, and a few water stops too. Very convenient and a nice place to ride because it's not very busy most of the time I'm riding it (evenings and night on weekdays). I rode to a shop I used to work at and hung out there for a bit, got ****ing poured on when I went home though. Cold rain too :(. Also, dead snek.
