This weekend had back-to-back races and I was able to get out to them both and shoot my first events of 2014. I’ll start by saying it feels great to be back. Got to see lots of people I haven’t seen in a while, get caught up a little, and practice my “art”. And it […]

RVV! The Second Monument in the Cycling Calendar
Ahhhh…. the Tour of Flanders, what a route! And what a race. This year looks like it will be “kind” from a weather perspective, the cobbles will be as hard and harsh as ever though! It’s now 4 years since I rode them, the memory of the route is still very much etched in my […]
2013 Cyclocross Season Wrap-up
While I didn’t get to cover much of the cycling season this year I feel like it did end on a high note and I’ll take as a positive sign for the season to come. On top of my own distractions there was also the late-season doping revelations that took some of the fun out […]
First Drive, First Photo Shoot Since April
It felt really good to get out for the weekend. This past weekend was the Canadian National Mountain Bike Championships up at Hardwood Hills and it marked my return to being a snapper. I wasn’t able to get up for the Eliminator on Thursday but did have the pleasure of covering the Elite races on […]
Down to nothing but finals @ Louisville
All the prep is over, now it’s finals (and a few consolation races). The weather came in as predicted, sirens and PA systems warning everyone that there were tornadoes. And lots of rain and wind. For the CX Master Worlds it meant a beat up course (waterlogged and wind ravaged) that needed a 2 hour […]
Heading to Louisville…
I had originally planned to head to Louisville for this coming Friday, to cover the Elite CX races on the weekend. Instead I’m heading down on Tuesday and will be covering the Masters races as well as the Elite. It will be my first time visiting Kentucky too so I’m glad to have almost a […]
First Magazine Cover
I found out about this a few weeks ago and it came as quite a surprise. Today I got to see what the cover looks like and it was still a huge surprise even though I knew it was coming. So without further ado here’s what it looks like. This photo is from the Pedal […]
Mud
What would a cyclocross race be if it didn’t have mud? While the provincial championships was run on a mostly flat, mostly dry course there was one section that was anything but flat and dry. I’ve put up a small gallery on Facebook and a larger gallery on my website. Here are a few shots […]
Yet more photos
And of a bike race no less, imagine that. I got some very positive feedback on the digital enhancements I did for a small gallery from the previous race so I went with the same adjustments for a larger set. I didn’t use it for all of them as I wanted viewers to be able […]
Cyclocross season is well under way
I missed a few of the early races, finally got to cover my first one last weekend and I thought I got a few very good photos. I have a full gallery up on my site and a select gallery went up on PedalMag.com. I also put a few up on Facebook and that gallery […]
