I know; I know: . But hear me out: for the Great Give this year, I’m raising funds for . I won’t bore you with the details here, but if you go to the link in my bio, you can read all about how this scrappy little independent video store reinvented itself as *not only* a place to find *actual physical media* (including a handful of VHS tapes!) but as a performance venue, a coffee shop, a community hub—the kind of third space that big corporations are trying to drive out of our lives where they can’t turn them into profit centers. The Netflix algorithm will “recommend” something for you but it can’t tell you whether it’s really worth your time. Starbucks doesn’t bring in a musician on Saturday morning to play a free concert for toddlers and their parents. Dunkin’ doesn’t host a poetry reading by local authors and another one for high school kids. If this kind of thing is important to you, please consider making a donation (small or large!) to my fundraising page. And small is fine! Every little bit helps. Donate $10 and I’ll send you a high-res file of your choice. Donate $25 and I’ll include an 8x10 print. What’s that I hear? You want to go *even bigger*? Thanks for reading!

Like I said, I don’t know that much about photographing downhill but I spent a couple of hours at the race at today trying to figure it out. If you raced before 1:00, you might find yourself in there somewhere. , as usual!

A student from my day job is competing in the race at today so I took the opportunity to see if I could learn how to photograph downhill. Mad respect to people like who make it look easy *and* amazing. I’ve got some stuff from the morning categories that I’ll get out soon but now I’m off to a birthday party for my niece’s dog.

I’m a little late getting to my 2025 year in review but better late than never. Another fun year; I’m very grateful for the support of the shops, teams, promoters, clubs and racers this year. Two of my big passions are cycling and photography and I’m lucky to have found a way to bring them together. Thanks for having me out to share the fun and for the many courseside burgers, cinnamon buns, snacks, and drinks! Looking forward to 2026. If you’re looking for photography services for your race or event, I’d love to talk about I can meet your needs. DMs are open and there’s a contact form on my website. Happy New Year!
