Guest Post–More Inspiration From Bosnia
The third of my wife’s posts from her trip to Bosnia. Enjoy! Cause for Celebration We had no idea to what to expect walking into a packed room in the community center in Kakanj, a village about an hour away from Sarajevo. The room was overflowing with excitement, standing room only, as Alexa and I […]
Guest Post–More Big Ideas
Another guest post from my wife, reporting from Sarajevo, Bosnia. The Start of the Big Idea Everything is an adventure when one is discovering a place for the first time – the morning breakfast selection, how to turn the shower on, what to do when a phone charger blows out, the right pronunciation of the […]
Guest Blog–Sarajevo Philanthropy
Here’s a special treat, friends. My wife is in Bosnia this week doing… Well, I’ll let her explain: The Golden Hands This week I am in Bosnia on a volunteer assignment with Women for Women International. I first learned about the organization about a year ago on Oprah. The organization helps women who are victims […]
Light Painting
A few months ago I enjoyed a day with Dave Black, a veteran sports photographer, as he gave a small seminar on lighting techniques. Dave is quite an amazing photographer, not only for the breadth of his sports coverage, but also for his expertise in lighting spaces that you might think could not be done […]
It’s Okay
My nearly six-year-old daughter wanted to come with daddy last night to photograph the sunset here at Lake Tahoe. We’d scouted the location at mid-day, which is highly recommended compared to trying to find your way over rough terrain by starlight.

Twisted Pine with Star Trails
It seems to take several comments from friends about how I have’t posted on my blog for a while to move me to do so. Got another last night via Facebook, so here’s what happened when I ventured into the frigid wilderness. North Lake Tahoe is in that “shoulder” season between the warmer weather and […]

Sometime the Biggest Battles Happen Off the Battlefield
In my capacity as a journalist in the MotoGP paddock, I do my best to refrain from sympathizing more with one rider than another or becoming a fanboy of anyone in particular. In fact this is often pretty easy, because behind the scenes glimpses into the riders’ personalities when they are temporarily out of the […]
Milky Way Over Lake Tahoe
Last night after the sun had gone down, the sky was so clear you could see the gases of the Milky Way even with the light pollution from the town here on Lake Tahoe’s north shore. I took a short drive to the east side of the lake where it is properly dark, and made […]
Pedrosa Wallpaper
If I’d known how popular these hi-res desktops would be I’d have started offering them to you all sooner. Thanks to all who’ve emailed to ask for a copy of the Lorenzo and Trophy images–that small bit of give before the take has cut down as intended on the photos showing up on websites rather […]
