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.

Lawn furniture, originally uploaded by john m flores. One of the myths of M43 is that the sensor is so small that you can’t really get out-of-focus areas.

Broken Angel, originally uploaded by john m flores. Oh broken angel how the years have taken their toll! I’m afraid that you won’t make it another season before to dust you shall return.

Save the Date, originally uploaded by john m flores. You might think that in this day and age – it’s 2011 for heaven’s sake! – that God’s message regarding the end of the world would be Tweeted or Grouponed (End of the World – 100% off!) rather than lettered onto the back of a hulking…

Nate, Outside, originally uploaded by john m flores. I haven’t shot the 14-140 much, primarily because it’s been a cold, dark winter and the lens isn’t that fast. But the sun did come out the other day, so I took the 14-140 out as we had out lunch in the backyard. As you can see,…
