When looking back at the end of a year It’s easy to get hung up on all the things you wish you would have done, wouldn’t have done, would have done better, or would have done more of but we can’t forget to celebrate our highlights and achievements. They are what help us keep the fire burning as we move forward and keep pushing.

2015 was an awesome year and a wild ride. Check out my end of year blog post reflecting on all the great things that happened.

Happy New Year everyone!

Portrait of Dario Pegoretti, one of the most iconic bicycle frame builders in all history. 

Last month I had a chance to travel to Italy with Above Category to visit and photograph the man himself. To see the full article on the visit, including my write up and a huge dump of photos, check it out here.

Birgitta tried to tell me she is totally un photogenic. I think this shot from an impromptu portrait session says otherwise.

I put up a little blog post the other day on this little portrait series I posted last week.  Check it out for a nice Sunday read where I talk about my friends, bike races, technical camera dork stuff, and pushing yourself to actually take action on making your ideas happen.

The homie, Chas, is probably one of the most seasoned Red Hook Crit racers out there. I nabbed this shot of him packing up his Cinelli workhorse just before his flight to NYC. I’ve been riding and racing with Chas for years and right now he is definitely in the best form I’ve seen. He’s gonna have to work on his wheelie game though if he’s gonna beat Buffington.

Girls are dudes too, and Erica is one of my best dudes. Shot here in her office (aka backyard) as she preps to leave for the Red Hook Crit. Kill it my dude!
