Destination Unknown

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.

  • This is a photo of a motorcycle, because I’ve been blogging and posting about tennis and lions and birds (oh my!) that my blog is like, “WTF man? Where are the motorbikes?!”Rider is Joe Gresh of Motorcyclist Magazine. Camera is Pentax Q with 01 Standard Prime @ 1/640s, f/3.2, ISO160.I’ll probably submit this with my…

  • World’s #1 Ranked Women’s Tennis Player Victoria Azarenka @30FPS with the Nikon 1 V1

    [Click on animation to view larger (720p)] Here’s another example of what the Nikon 1 V1 is capable of, this time featuring the current #1 women’s player Victoria Azarenka. As with Roddick, I could not shoot at 60FPS because Azarenka’s serve takes more time than the V1 has buffer (half a second @ 60FPS). Likewise,…


  • Andy Roddick at 30FPS (Nikon 1 v1)

    [Click on the animation to see the larger version. It’s totally worth it.] Andy Roddick announced his retirement a couple of days ago. This will be his last US Open. The crowd at Arthur Ashe Stadium applauded him several times. He will be missed. You can’t blame him – his whole life has been playing…


  • Sun Setting over the Manhattan Skyline, as seen from Flushing, Queens., a photo by john m flores on Flickr. Taken from the “cheap” ($65!) seats at Arthur Ashe Stadium during the US Open 2012 with the Nikon 1 V1 with 1 Nikkor VR 30-110mm f/3.8-5.6 lens @ 47.5mm, 1/160s, f/5.6, ISO100.

  • Nikon 1 V1 with 10mm f/2.8 @ 1/15s, F2.8, ISO800. As much as I like the Pentax Q, it would be a struggle to get a shot like this, partly because the AF is not up to the task (I guess I could zone focus) and partly because I don’t have this focal length (27mm…
