Last year some VW friends went on about how great the Shelter Valley Folk Festival was and I thought it would be worth checking out. Early bird tickets were gone and camping spots weren’t available any more in the main area so I decided to volunteer. Andrea and our friend Liz bought tickets and came […]

Ah, Le Tour!
What an amazing event the Tour de France is… always filled with drama and excitement and surprises. Of course I’d love to be there again to cover it, perhaps next year. I am very fortunate that I have lots of flexibility during the week so I’ve been able to watch some of the key stages […]

A New Background
I’ve been experimenting with changes to the blog and have decided I’m not ready for the “dynamic” version Blogger has available so I’m just making little changes including a new background. If you like it you’re welcome to download it to use as a desktop or screensaver. This is Baie Éternité in the Saguenay Fjord, […]
A Full Calendar
It’s been a busy summer for me and it shows no signs of letting up any time soon. After the swing through NY & Quebec this past weekend was a trip up to Sudbury for a new venue in Ontario mountain biking. A few days camped next to a lake (first in Port Carling and […]
Windham NY, and Home (Part 3)
The parking lot was incredibly dusty, as was the course… as I sat writing this in a campground just west of Utica I could see a layer of dust on everything inside and out. I knew what I’ll be doing during the week. Friday in Windham was relaxing. I wander the courses to see where […]
And Now for Mont Sainte Anne
It was a great few days after the MTB Nationals wrapped up as I took my time heading down to Mont Sainte Anne. I had a short week with no commitments before Friday and being at MSA (or so I thought). First let me wrap up a couple of things from Saint Félicien. On Sunday […]

Wet and Wild @ Hardwood
What a difference between the race conditions at Mansfield and those for the Trek Store Canada Cup held this past weekend at Hardwood Ski and Bike! I’m just finished processing my photos (3,127 not counting iPhone pics and video interviews) and have delivered all the galleries and interviews so I can now spend a little […]
Dusty and Dirty @ Mansfield
The event is called Epic, it’s 8 hours long, and this one was dry and dusty! I didn’t have a chance to go through these photos – which were taken this past Saturday – until last night because I was a little distracted with a Canadian in pink. When I did get the chance to […]
Grand Prix Cycliste de Gatineau
With the 2012 Olympics just around the corner the ITT and road races held this past weekend in Gatineau QC were both important and well attended by the elite women’s field. Greenedge, Tibco, Specialized-lululemon and many other teams sent their best talent with an eye on gaining important qualification points. While the World Championships are […]
Back to my (new) usual
What a treat it was thinking in the context of photography as fine art rather than story telling. Although I hope my images tell a story regardless of my intent or the context of presentation I am aware of the difference I feel about the expression and so I assume it reflects what others see […]
