Travel Part II: Argentina by Bicycle

04-20-2012

In 2008 I worked for Backroads—The World’s #1 Active Travel Company. The first trip I shot for them was an all-guys private trip riding mountain bikes through the north country of Argentina. I didn’t have a blog yet at the time and by the time I did it never seemed to make sense to post about it. But, I think I’ve found a good excuse—I leave in ten days to photograph a Backroads trip on Mallorca, Spain with the same group of guys (plus a handful more). To gear myself up for all of the cycling, eating and drinking, er um…I mean working, I am posting this retrospective of that first trip four years ago.

BEP Hawk Photo on the New Wendell Berry Book

04-20-2012

Counterpoint Press published Wendell Berry’s New Collected Poems this month. I am honored that the amazing book cover designer—Gerilyn Attebery of Attebery Design—chose my photo for the cover.

 

The hawk flew into the big picture window of my parent’s kitchen a couple of years ago while I was spacing out at the kitchen table. It knocked itself out cold, so I quickly ran outside and wrapped it up in a towel. I held it for about twenty minutes while it slowly came to. I distinctly remember being mesmerized by the talons, while I wondered if it would survive. Once it came-to it hopped out of my arms and over to the fence post about a foot from where I was standing. I then flew into the house to grab my camera and was able to get three or four shots before it flew off into the trees. I received a copy of the book from the publisher a couple of weeks ago and meant to photograph it, but I ended up giving it to my parents since it has their front yard on the cover. The printer did an amazing job with the printing. You can get the book at this link on Amazon.

 

Puppy Love

03-24-2012

A little bit of cuteness to break up all of the sports and travel….On January 10th I picked-up a stray dog who was starved and frightened. I didn’t want her to get hit by a car and I wanted to have her scanned for a microchip to see if she had a home. Home ended up being with me. Two and a half weeks later she gave birth to seven adorable puppies. They have taken over my life for the past seven weeks and six days. They turn eight weeks old tomorrow. All of the puppies have found lovely homes, including one in mine—Bruno.

Travel Part One | Road trips are Rad trips

01-16-2012

Take a road trip. Eschew interstates and major highways. Stop for everything that somewhat grabs your attention. Allow for plenty of time to soak in the weird and the beautiful. Take tons of photos. A recipe for happy.

While putting together a submission for Lonely Planet Images I decided to do a series of blog posts. Here is part one in my series on travel.
