20 years ago, I started a second career as a motorcycle journalist, and I’ve been lucky enough to see many of the beautiful places in the world and publishing stories and photos of my adventures. I’ve started documenting my bicycle adventures in a similar fashion, and will be sharing those stories here. Please join me.

And so a scant few days after posting the rumored Pentax K-3, I find myself wondering it it’s time to move away from the Pentax K-mount. A number of things have happened in the last six months to bring me to this point. One, I’ve really grown to like the Nikon V1 and am considering…

The rumor mill is on overdrive right now, speculating about the highly-anticipated (to Pentaxicans at least) K-5 replacement. Everyone’s been calling it the K-3 assuming that the number four bears some taboo in Japan, and this early spy photo suggests that will be the name. But looky here, is the K-3 really smaller than the…

I’ve got a bookshelf full of primes for four different systems–Pentax K, Micro Four-Thirds, Nikon 1, and Pentax Q. I love them dearly, appreciating the diminutive size (when compared to zooms), and photon gathering capabilities. And I also really appreciate their zeitgeist, a notion of elegance and simplicity made manifest in glass, metal, and plastic.…

The slow, inexorable decay Just took delivery of a used Panasonic GH2 from fellow photog John Griggs, aka Entropic Remnants. He’s moving away from Micro Four Thirds to Fuji X, so I took the GH2 off of his hands for a fair price. I now have two GH2s and will use them primarily for video.…

Took the Nikon V1 to the Central Jersey Jazz Festival. Last year it was the Somerville Jazz Festival, but they’ve teamed up with New Brunswick now and have beefed up their lineup and marketing. This year’s crowd was much bigger, but it was still a really fun, low key event, with everyone sitting in camp…

I’m currently down in Hatteras NC (OBX) with a 2013 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid. Hyundai was kind enough to loan us the car for a one week review, and our first thought was, “let’s put some miles on this puppy.” So we filled the tank in NJ and 13 hours and 481 miles later we were…

Nikon’s been in the news a bit lately, primarily because of it’s reduced forecasts and admission that their 1 Series cameras aren’t doing as well as they had hoped. That’s really a shame, because I’m really warming up to the V1. Go figure. On my last trip, the V1 was paired with the Pentax K-5,…

[Sorry for the long gap between posts.It’s been a busy summer with motorcycle stories among other things.] A couple of years ago I bought an Apple iPad 2 stuffed with the maximum 64GB of memory to backup my photographs when on the road. With the optional camera connection kit (two white dongles that let you…

You know that copy of Epyx’s Summer Games for the Apple II? I’m here to confess that the game that kept me up late way past my bedtime in 1982 was a pirated copy. That’s right, I somehow got a hold of the tools to unlock the awesomeness of the game (and the superlative graphics)…

A Pentax K-5 with the DA* 50-135mm F2.8, a Panasonic GH1 with the 100-300mm F4.0-5.6, and the Pentax Q with the 02 Zoom were used to create these photos. Can you guess which is which?
