  • Icarus in Lycra, originally uploaded by john m flores. Lance Armstrong, 2004-07-21 on L’Alpe D’Huez If Lance Armstrong was as clean as he claims, he was one step away from complete and total vindication. One. Step. Away. For a man that beat cancer and fought his way to victory in the Tour de France seven…


  • Curiosity didn’t have to fly all the way to Mars, Southern Utah would have been far enough.


  • Two angry Italian birds (a 2012 Ducati Multistrada 1200S Touring and a 2012 Moto Guzzi Stelvio NTX) sit in the tall grass on the Kancamangus highway and stalk their prey. I’m going a little Snapseed crazy. I just love the simplicity of the interface; it’s such a refreshing break from complexity. This was originally shot…


  • Pentax Q + Moto Guzzi Stelvio NTX + Mount Washington Auto Road + iPad + Snapseed = Awesome. Took the Q on its second big trip, this time to the mountains and countryside of Vermont and New Hampshire. It’s second nature to hang it around my neck and snap photos while on the road. The…

  • This is a two-wheeled SUV. But unlike the porcine four wheeled rigs driven by soccer moms, this thing really hauls. It puts the Sport back into SUV. For reals. Taken with the Pentax Q with the 01 Prime, my current go-to motocam. I hang it around my neck and ride.


  • Never noticed this before. Will have to test with other cameras.
