New gig. Nice new space and 2 monitors. The Mac snob in me has to learn how to get along with a PC. I’ll live.

Grand Rapids Marathon

Grand Rapids Marathon

Not to be completely outdone by Geoff’s crashing picture the Grand Rapids Marathon is slowly becoming one of the big time running events. No shirts required.

 

Down Goes Kuyper!

Geoff was having a great day riding in 3rd place and about to make his move when he slid out.

 

Grand Rapids Marathon Expo

Grand Rapids Marathon Expo

Steph and I spent the day at the Grand Rapids Marathon Expo. While a long and tiring day it was a great experience and we talked with some really interesting people and got people turned on to Soigneur. (we sold lots of product too, even some shirts)

Grand Rapids at Night

Grand Rapids at Night

I was downtown and working on a project. Long exposure photography is really fun because when you get it right the results are fantastic. However it’s not as easy as it seems and you have to mess with different exposure times to get it right. Amazing how much stuff was going on in the sky and it seemed like a clear calm night.

 

Grit

I took this picture about 2.5 years ago at the Tour of California and it’s probably my most requested picture to have printed of all my cycling photography and this week was no exception.

 

Touch Football

We had a visitor in the house today and he was as confused as we were about he got in.

 

33 Dive

33 Dive

Cam doesn’t get many chances to carry the ball – ok none. Saturday he got his chance and he made the best of it. 7 yards up the middle. He keeps that up he’ll get more chances.

 

More bread

More bread

Some of the best pictures happen around the table. I just wish I could be more subtle with the camera so Mr. Potato Head would show me his Angry Eyes.

 

Capture

Capture

I’ve created my own cult of little photographers. It’s great to see what they capture. Not at all what I would but great all the same.

 

Jersey

As long as it’s this nice out it doesn’t matter that it’s October.

 

Goal Posts

Goal Posts

Our front lawn is a playing field for some sport on any giving day. Today it was soccer and my poor fake Adirondak chairs were the goals posts. At least they don’t use the landscaping anymore.

 

off-season

off-season

This picture has off season written all over it: hairy legs and mud. If there were beer in the shot I would have had the off-season trifecta.

 

Cross is hard

Lucky for this guy the ground was really soft.

 

Pocket Aces

Pocket Aces

The boys and I meet up with a friend and his boys and we play Texas hold’em. While there are chips they have no monetary value and gambling isn’t the point. That said Luke was the youngest at the table, and no one thought he knew what he was doing. We couldn’t have been more wrong. Not only did he win this pot with 3 aces, he eventually cleaned out the entire table.
