FIND 52PHOTOS2012 HERE!

Welcome to 52Photos, a year in images 2011. 52Photos started in January of 2010 as an effort to capture 2010, one week at a time, through the eye of a camera lens. I've enjoyed the process immensely, and have been thankful for all the amazing feedback I've gotten as a response to my images, stories, and thoughts throughout the year. I'll be continuing with the blog through 2011 with a slightly new look, but still providing 52 images and some thoughts to go along with them. Technical to abstract, social commentary and just plain fun, you'll find a mix of topics, variety of images, and hopefully, something you will enjoy following along. I've had a number of people ask "where can I buy a print??". The answer is an easy one... select images are available by clicking here. Of course you can just send me a message too, I'd love to hear from ya!

Do Not Try This At Home

Week 7


Malaka
February 21, 2010

Today I watched up close as guys took 400lb motorcycles and threw them around like they were the old BMX style bicycle I had growing up. A buddy of mine stunt rides, and we connected, hoping to get some good pics of he and his fellow riders doing their thing. We did....

They scoped out an empty lot where they'd be able to ride and me shoot them without any trouble. One of the first images I got, the above photo let me know I was in for a show. It was both powerful and graceful, and a testament to the amount of skill it takes to stunt. I shot with my 24-70 2.8 pretty much the whole time. I was close enough to the action I didn't really need a longer lens, though I may try to have a longer one with me next time to give me a little more range.

I can't wait to go shoot them again. Today's weather was off and on rainy, leaving the guys doing "safe" stunts. Totally looking forward to seeing what happens when they have dry pavement and the confidence that comes along with it.

Until next time....
