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.

Pentax MX, a fast fifty, and whatever film you an scrounge up as you wander through the rubble.

I’m loving the fast AF of the V1 and the pretty darn good image quality in a small package aspect of it. I’m just not feeling the user experience though. Feels good in hand, but I feel like I’m operating a computer not a camera. Having long reach in a small package is really nice…

[This is the first post in a series. The second, “The Case Against APS-C” can be found here. The third, “The Case Against Micro Four-Thirds“, can be found here. “The Case Against 1″ Sensors” can be found here.]Let’s get one thing out of the way – full-frame cameras off better image quality than APS-C, Micro Four-Thirds, CX…

The exposure range (thanks Ctein) of the…

I haven’t been spending much time with the Nikon 1 V1 lately. Which makes sense since it was really purchased for a single reason – rigged motorcycle photos. Riding season is over, of course so cameras smaller (Pentax Q) and larger (Pentax K-01) have been getting more play. Even the K-5 has been pretty dormant;…

Will someone please tell the phone makers that placing the flash close to the lens is the primary cause of red-eye?, a photo by john m flores on Flickr. I just noticed this, and realized that most camera phones make the same mistake of placing the flash close to the lens. I’d love to see…

A bit of shameless self promotion here…actually it’s as much about Pentax cameras as it is about me, because Pentax has a lineup of cameras that fits my needs to a T. The Feb 2013 issue of RoadRUNNER Magazine is out, and the cover features a photo that I took with a Pentax K-5 with…
