Over the past few years I’ve collected thousands of frames of time lapse digital photography in my travels. Time lapse photography is the process of shooting a series of photos with a brief delay between shots, then playing them back at hight speed.
Part 1 - Nature
Part 2 - Driving
Folks have been asking for photos from Hawaii. There photos have been up but a little hard to find. Click here for the photos.
With less than 24 hours to go before the start of the Tour de France in Strasbourg comes the news that a number of the top contenders have been implicated in Operation Puerto, the Spanish investigation into illegal use of performance enhancing drugs and other techniques. As many of 58 riders may be involved at this point and 9 have been kicked out of the Tour. Among them are Jan Ullrich and Ivan Basso, the two favorites, and Francisco Mancebo (last year’s 4th place finisher). I’m shocked and saddened, especially at the implicated involvement of my perennial underdog favorite, Ullrich.
I’m still excited for this years Tour and what’s now a wide open field of contenders. I’ll be following along on OLN. Saturday’s prologue promises excitement with the return of David Miller and the American time trial specialist David Zabriskie. I’ll be on the edge of the couch cheering them on!

Over the recent Presidents Day Weekend I took a trip to the magical lands of southern Utah and northern Arizona. My main goal was to explore the slot canyons around the little town of Page Arizona, but I also ventured out to Monument Valley at sunset and Zion National Park on the return home (via. St. George Utah). A full page of photo highlights.
Today I updated the U2 Concert Photography Portfolio with additional images. All of my best U2 images are now available for purchase as fine art digital prints!
Another new photo from our recent trip to Yosemite. This is the last photo of the weekend, shot during the last moments of the sunset on the foothills of the Sierra, along side Highway 140.
Sara and I spend this past weekend in Yosemite, hiking in the snow and shooting lots of photos. We shot a ton of time lapse movies. I’m hoping to have those online soon. Until then, a photo of a tree along the Merced River.
Lately we’ve been working on a DVD of our trip to Paris from July, complete with an hour of video and lots of photos. A friend sent this over, a film of high speed driving in Paris. Something to aspire to for our next trip.
