MotoGP Trophy Desktop
MotoGP fans will likely recognize this item from the intro of the official race feed. Each year, the new MotoGP champ’s section is installed on the trophy, which is displayed at the non-fly-away rounds in Dorna’s mobile suite of offices. I saw it for the first time at Silverstone and grabbed a few photos of […]
Lorenzo Desktop
It’s shaping up to be a season that will be remembered as one dominated by a single rider: no one seems to have much of anything for Jorge Lorenzo in 2010, in terms of a sustained challenge for this year’s title. Fastest at FP1 at Brno today, and looking good to continue to build his […]
Rossi Desktop
You’ve asked for desktops, and here’s the first one: Valentine Rossi coming through the Corkscrew at Laguna Seca with the special Faces Fiat Yamaha livery. This is a hi-res 1920×1200 jpg for large monitor and smaller. Download it here!
Product Review: Acratech GV2 Ball Head
For years I’ve been using the Manfrotto 488RC2 ball head with only one complaint: when used with a large lens, the single screw quick release plate tends to spin because it has insufficient strength to support that much weight. For landscape work the Manfrotto has been fine. It pans and holds all of my gear […]
Hanging Loose
Even paradise has its ups and downs when you’re there with four kids, 5, 2, and five and six months, all of whom are off their usual schedules for sleep and meals but who don’t want to slow down to take a nap. Still, Oahu’s North Shore has a lot to offer the vacationer who […]
Sunrise, La’ie Point
My daughter and I got up at 5:30 this morning to drive up the coast of Oahu about 10 miles to La’ie Point. She sat in the car and played a game on my iPhone while I set up and marveled at the light rays as the sun rose above the horizon. When the scene […]
Resting Turtle
After a big dinner here on Oahu’s North Shore, the extended family went on to look for the locals’ favorite shave ice place, while the photo nerd chose not to waste one of a handful of sunset opportunities and passed on the famed syrupy coldness. I jumped in the rented (insert non-sensical and unpronounceable VW […]
Half Dome Conquered
On my recent photo trip to Yosemite with friends Tyler, John and Suad, I got the idea to hike to the top of Half Dome, as more or less a Because It’s There thing. My wife, L and I had recently watched a Discover TV series about an expedition on Everest, and while that multi-month […]
Find Your Face
Ok, Twitter and Facebook friends, I took a few moments Saturday to photograph the Fiat Yamaha bikes before Jorge and Vale went out for FP2. Some of you sent me your own photos to help me find you but I just didn’t have time to search while the teams were getting the bikes ready to […]
Day of Stars 2010
For those of you coming to the USGP at Laguna Seca this weekend, please check out the Riders for Health Day of Stars auction on Thursday afternoon. I just received the first of several 16×24″ metallic print gallery wraps I’m contributing to the auction. Ben Spies and Colin Edwards still to come!
