Softies Jump Jam Part 1

So stoked that I was able to attend the spring Softies Jump Jam! It had such a good vibe and some insane tricks were thrown down over the big lines! Thanks to GHY Bikes and everyone who helped make it happen. Keep an eye out for when the next part goes live in a couple days!

Duthie Group Ride

Riding with a group is almost always more enjoyable then riding alone. Last weekend I was fortunate enough to join a great group of riders on one such ride at Duthie Hill! Here is a few select images from that day. If you were a part of the ride head over to my Facebook page to see if I got any images of you! Thanks to GHY Bikes for putting it together!

Reflections and Moving On

It's strange looking back over the last three years and how I really didn't have the slightest idea of what was going to happen. Three years ago I was starting my senior year of high school just focused on graduating. Two years ago I was preparing to go back to school after getting back from a four month adventure to Alaska with my family. One year ago I had graduated from Hallmark Institute of Photography where I met a very special woman. Now I'm married to that very special woman and living half way across the continent in Seattle. We haven't been living in Seattle for very long though. We recently took two weeks to move from Michigan. With our camping gear and basic necessities back into our car we drove all 2200 miles plus side trips in two weeks. We stopped whenever we wanted seeing friends and amazing places along the way. The following images are just some of the things and places we saw on our trip.

Lake Michigan Windsurfing

One of the many great things about living in northern Michigan is the lakes around us. Whether you simply enjoy relaxing on the pristine beaches or getting involved in one of the many adventure sports on the water, we proudly have some of the best lakes in the world right outside our front door. Windsurfing is a relatively unknown extreme sport in this area with athletes far and few between. Any opportunity I get to photograph a windsurfer I gladly take. The wind on Lake Michigan was perfect this day; a strong, offshore, consistent wind was kicking about two to three foot waves. Below is the series of images I took of Chris Righi windsurfing on the big lake.
