No rest for the weary. I was in Cleveland last week working on a campaign video for a US Senate race. Had one night in my own bed and then was off again. Spent last weekend in Santa Rosa filming pro cyclist Levi Leipheimer during his Gran Fondo ride. Lyn and I enjoyed a thrilling day wrestling the Red and a tripod on the back of a couple of motorcycles. Thumbs up to Bill and Chad our excellent moto drivers. Thumbs down to the angry rancher who used his truck as a weapon, driving over my tripod bag and stopping literally inches away from a *very* expensive camera. I’ll tell you the story over drinks sometime.
I’m home for a week now, long enough to catch up on some last minute editing before I fly off to Colorado to shoot a wedding. Can’t wait to see the fall colors in that part of the country. I leave you with a few iPhone shots from the last few weeks of whirlwinding.

(This is not spam) Boy, you have been busy! Love the escalator shot. Look forward to hearing more about the farmer… my pointer is on the refresh button…

The guy you said ran over your bag reminds me of a motorcycle trip I took once. Riding out west, could have been Oregon, man in pickup drives by, cuts us off as the road narrows. I was riding with 2 other bikers, one follows the man in the truck after this incident. His girl on a small Honda and I stay behind because she can’t keep up with my Kawasaki 900. The next day (we camped and waited in the next town) Tim rides by and tells us the story of following the pickup for hours, there was a bb pistol and a shotgun involved. No shooting, however.
Today it likely would be a different story.
