20 years ago, I started a second career as a motorcycle journalist, and I’ve been lucky enough to see many of the beautiful places in the world and publishing stories and photos of my adventures. I’ve started documenting my bicycle adventures in a similar fashion, and will be sharing those stories here. Please join me.

Hey Pentax, I’ve got a new advertising campaign for the K-01… “Pentax K-01 – the Pontiac Aztec of Cameras” Funny, huh? I crack myself up sometimes. Now I’ve gotta admit that the K-01 is almost universally derided by the online camera commentscenti. Most of them have never held one in their hands and are ignoring…

An ancient, crappy Pentax K20d with a seriously deficient APS-C sensor took this really awful photo. I really should just burn it.

Pentax Q, late at night, after the opening of a friend’s photography show. A bunch of us, mostly photogs and other visual/creative types, are having a beer and some ribs at Dinosaur BBQ. The Q sits quietly on the table until it’s called upon, then it’s all ISO3200, manual focusing, and just trying to grab…

Pentax Q @ ISO3200 in a Mexican restaurant lit primarily with holiday lights shaped like little jalapeño peppers. The Q really hits a good spot for me – a small, camera that I can carry everywhere. I am rediscovering the idea that the maniacal pursuit of “image quality” is a rabbit hole and can actually…

Ok, I’m sitting here at my desk with like a million things to do and two million lame excuses not to do them. “I know – instead of getting some work done, I’ll conduct a memory card test! That’s the ticket – some guy on the Internet asked about what memory card to buy for…

I gotta tell you, I love my little town. As a kid, I used to come and watch theTour of Somerville, the oldest bicycle race in the country. It was fun, but the town seemed to lack something…a spark. That spark was the vibrancy of downtown commerce. A mall had opened up about a mile…

Logan playing soccer, a photo by john m flores on Flickr. Oh, Panasonic 100-300mm f/4.0-5.6! You are such a zoomy lens yet no bigger than a can of soda. You reach across the soccer pitch so easily and throw the background mildly out of focus. And you lend a hand in holding steady. So nice,…

And I’m not damning with faint praise. With the 30-110mm lens, I had nearly 300mm of reach and lightning fast AF in the palm of my hands. I actually chuckled to myself as another adult showed up with his iconic white Canon L zoom, thinking to myself, “I’ve probably got more reach and faster AF…

On top of Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado, a photo by john m flores on Flickr. That’s a 2012 Victory Cory Ness Cross Country Tour. That color is “Gold Digger Pearl.” No joke. And that’s a 5 frame HDR. The side of the bike facing the camera was in shadow – as you can see…
