  • In Defense of Pretty Pictures

    As someone who take pictures with a very critical eye, it’s easy to put not only by own work but the work of others under a very critical magnifying glass. As the ups and downs of life pass by like the ebb and flow of the tide it’s refreshing to take a step back and just enjoy a pretty picture for what it is. Doing so is a sure fire way to lift one’s spirits, regain more level headed thinking and remember why I took an interest in photography in the first place.

    Here’s to all the pretty pictures! Thanks for the inspiration and positive energy.

  • Pictures emerge showing widely-leaked Fujfilm ‘X-T1’

    xt1leak_1.jpg

    Last week, Fujifilm teased a new, apparently high-end X-series camera. Inevitably this has lead to a flurry of new rumors, much speculation about the camera’s specification, and now a slew of product photographs courtesy of Japanese site digicame-info.com, apparently showing an ‘X-T1’. At this point, we’re not sure whether Fujifilm will have anything new to announce when the camera finally gets officially launched. Click through for a taste of what’s (probably) coming up.

  • 10 Pictures from 2013 Missouri River 340 Race

    My Sea Wind canoe on the shore of Kaw River 20 minutes before the race start.

    Missouri American Water MR340 is a paddling race across the entire state of Missouri – 340 miles nonstop in less than 88 hours from Kansas City to St Charles. The 8th edition of the race took place July 23-26, 2013.

    It was my 7th MR340 race, and the third one paddled self supported in Sea Wind canoe designed by Verlen Kruger. This year it took me 62:21 hours to finish – 38th place overall and 19th place in men’s solo division (142 boats), see race results. I had a pretty good race. Sea Wind allowed me to to run long river sections up to 12 hours of paddling without any stops.

    Here is a selection of 10 pictures from the race, all shot with Pentax Optio WG2 camera. I will be writing more technical reports and commentary in my Fitness Paddling blog where you can find a lot of information on previous MR340 races starting from the very first one in 2006.
