A hard day at the office was had by all; a hot day, humid out in the fields. The festival site is coming together nicely and folks are starting to gel nicely together. Plus it now includes 2 VW campers! Babe and I have family close by and a spot for Putter & Knitter is […]
Year: 2015
Skipping ahead to SVFF 2015
I know I’m behind with my blog and I hope to get caught up soon with tales and photos of the trip to Leadville. I stepped out of the camper just now to see this and thought it was worth posting… The only lens I have with me is a 2.8 40mm “pancake” and I […]
25 Years of MTB History
I’ve been working on this for a year and it’s finally gone live today! Have a look and let me know what you think! The interviews were done during and after the 24th edition of the Mont-Sainte-Anne World Cup while the photos are an assortment of recent (mine) and historical (Tom Moran for the most […]
TO2015 Pan Am BMX and MTB Action
What an amazing few of days! First the opening ceremonies, then the BMX race action which was won by American Felicia Stancil and Canada’s own Tory Nyhaug. Then a MTB double header with Emily Batty and Raphaël Gagné winning another 2 gold plus a silver for Catharine Pendrel. Loved being there to cover it all. […]
TO2015 Opening Ceremony
The games are now officially underway! It was a blast to be at the opening ceremony, lots of great photo opportunities. Being inside the Pan Am Dome there was no opportunity to get to the fireworks on the CN Tower, there are lots of great photos and videos on twitter though… just do a search […]

TO2015 Pan Am Games are on!
Well, it’s happening! The city is struggling to figure out what hosting a major games means and it will certainly be quite an adventure. I went down to the “MMC” (all of the venues have an abbreviated code, this one is for the Main Media Center) to get my credentials validated and pick up my […]
Next Up: The Toronto2015 Pan Am Games
When I retired from IBM back in 2011 (yes, it really has been over 4 years) and started out on my Next Chapter I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I only have to look back at some of the early blog entries to be reminded of that. I’m always up for […]
Westy Camping at last!
I knew I’d been neglecting my blog for some time, looking at it today as I sit to write an entry shows that it’s been two months to the day. I’ve commented before about going for a month between posts, I think this is a new low-water mark though. I could say I’ve been busy […]
Babe is Back, it Must be Spring
I didn’t have a chance to write up anything about getting my camper out of storage other than a quick post to Facebook. Let me fix that. Late last year we got together with our friends from Turbo Training Marilyn and Michael to see their new place and have dinner together. Yes, the same delightful […]
2015 CONTACT Photography Festival
I mentioned an exciting upcoming event a couple of times, saying that I’d provide an update when it was officially announced. Well it is now official. Peter Kraiker Photography is presenting an exhibit of 18 framed limited edition photographs, all of them directly in the cross-hairs of my two passions. Photography and Cycling. I’ve called […]
