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.

Once upon a time I took a photo of an Aprilia Tuono motorcycle at New York’s famous Hawk’s Nest, a twisty bit of asphalt high above the Delaware River. It ended up being the lede photo in my story for RoadRUNNER Magazine. I also posted it on my Flickr, where it became one of my…

So I now have a Sony Smartwatch 3 on my wrist. I bought it to track my runs (with GPS), monitor my heart rate (with a Polar H7 Bluetooth heart rate monitor) and listen to music while I run. After some teething problems it’s working out quite nicely. I’ve also been playing around with the…

Just got back from Daytona’s infamous Bike Week, a late winter celebration of two wheels in one of the warmer places in the country. For this trip I had the BMW C650GT scooter, along with a heated jacket and one piece suit from Aerostich. I also had my ever-reliable Boblbee Meg Aero backpack to carry…

[photo: Apple] It’s a well known yarn that several years ago Apple was split between those that liked skeuomorphism (Steve Jobs, Scott Forstall, others) and how it made otherwise cool and modern devices warm and relatable to large swaths of the population and those that looked down upon their mid-century modern noses at it and…

Just published the Kindle version of ESCAPE 01, the first in a series of illustrated short stories. If you like motorcycle travel stories with a twist, give this a try. The iBooks version is made with iBooks Author and has a fancy layout and all of that. The Kindle version is not as elaborately designed…

The ceaseless march of technological progress makes camera gear made just a few years ago seem hopelessly inadequate if you listen to marketing materials and people on camera forums prattling on about which camera/brand is best as if they are talking about sports teams. It’s an odd dichotomy–photographers bristle when people suggest that their photos…

Story deadline, which means a lot of gnashing of teeth and rubbing of hands as I try to: Figure out what to say, Figure out how to say it, Choose the photos, and Do the 100 other little things that are required. As my wife always reminds me, I stress out every time I have…

Next time you’re in Barnes & Noble, saunter (or sashay, your choice) over to the magazine rack and pick up a copy of the Feb ’14 issue of RoadRUNNER Magazine. My Vermont dual purpose story, “One if by Land, Two if by Sea, Three if by KLR” is in there, and it’s one of the…

I should have never borrowed the Sigma DP2m from my brother. I was quite happy in my ignorance, shooting what I thought were very nice Pentax lenses on very nice Pentax bodies. But then I made the mistake of borrowing the Sigma and running a little backyard test against my brandy spankin’ new Pentax K-3…
