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.

I never thought that I’d say this – I miss writing. The agonizingly painful process of laying down words, stringing them together with spaces and punctuation and duct tape and hoping that it makes sense. It’s never come easy to me – ask my wife whenever I am under deadline – but it’s also singularly…

The GH2 goes to work, originally uploaded by john m flores. Enough playing and mucking about with video, time to take the GH2 and get some paying work done. I did a simple shoot the other day at a shoe store. I built their website and now update it with photography as the next season’s…

Camden Mayor Dana Redd at the Citizen’s Campaign Camden Call to Service, 04/01/2011, originally uploaded by john m flores. The Pentax K-x got a workout last night, shooting an event in Camden NJ.

Slice, originally uploaded by john m flores. My adventures with the GH2 continue, now with the addition of a Metz 50 AF-1 flash. I’m no strobist, but I do like to supplement available light with on-camera fill, preferably bounced off of some diffusing surface. I had good luck with a Metz 58 AF-1 on my…

Greenery, originally uploaded by john m flores. Have you ever looked at something that you’ve seen a million times with fresh eyes? More playing around with Pentax lenses on the Panasonic GH2, this time the vaunted DA35 F2.8 Macro Limited. It’s a cracking good lens, although some have noted that 35mm requires you to get…

Mossy, originally uploaded by john m flores. There is green in the world – you just have to look hard enough. Taken with a Tamron 90mm F2.8 Macro (Pentax mount) mated to the Panasonic GH2 via a Fotodiox adapter. This is the longest lens I’ve used with the Fotodiox adapter – it doesn’t inspire confidence.

Pentax K20d and DA* 50-135 F2.8 are indeed weatherproof, originally uploaded by john m flores. And so the GH2 continues to rock my world and force me to rethink my toolbox. First it shoved the Canon G10 to the sidelines with much better IQ for not that much more size. Now the Pentax K20d has…
