On the last night in the apartment a little time was spent capturing the nightlife below. This glimpse shows the heart beat of a city at night moving along in a methodical pattern of lights and movement. Just a few short time lapse examples from Casa de Matt. This view will now belong to another.
Along the final length of the 101 highway the road winds up the coast, eventually wrapping inland to find views of the Olympic Mountains. The coastline in Northern Washington has some incredible gems to explore. About 15 miles west of the 101, just outside of a well known town thanks to the infamous book series turned movies of werewolves and vampires dealing with teenage love, waits Rialto beach. Find a spot for the car, throw on a pack, and begin the slow hike up the beach. Continue reading
Early Fall in the Redwoods National Park is an incredible time for many reasons. One the summer crowds are gone, two the weather is cooperative, three the wildlife comes out for final preparations for the winter months. Five people crammed into my Subaru for a long weekend of hiking and camping along the edge of the giant redwoods of Northern California. Continue reading
Because of the high cost investment it takes to get a slider I decided to put some effort into creating my own version. After a few hours of research online, checking out different DIY versions of slider, I came to the idea for this one. Continue reading
The days are short and the dry days we get up in the northwest usually bring some cold with it. A high 30s day on the lot was spent riding and shooting with fellow Masshole Matt St. Gelais. One thing about growing up in the Unpredictable New England Fall and winter means cold weather will not deter us from getting on the bike. It hurts to fall and you need to keep moving to keep all fingers and toes from locking up, but it is worth the extra effort. These are a few of the shots we got from the session. Continue reading
On November 25, 2011 roughly 150+ people took to the streets of downtown Portland to bring light to the brutal massacre of millions of animals for fashion and financial gain.

Late fall is showing it’s head and winter is around the corner. That means a significant lack of sunlight to enjoy. These are the times for night sessions and also one of the best times to play with lighting. It’s hard to justify the height of this manual without a brief description. The barrier stands about 6 inches over handlebar height. An awkward curb gives a bit of lip on the way up, but then there is the stop sign and cement pillar to contend with also. It had been a while since we shot a photo so it was a good night for everyone.
Here are a few photos from the Enchantment Lakes Basin Backpacking trip taken on September15. The weather was perfect and the views were jaw dropping. Here is just a glimpse of what we encountered on our journey. Continue reading
A couple weeks back four of us traveled up the east side of the Cascade range in Washington State on route to one of the best known backpacking areas in the country, Enchantment Lakes Basin. Anthony Buglio, Josh Darling, Kjell Moline and I left the Stuart Lake Trailhead on September 15 in search of landscape that is rarely witnessed in this world. This video is a glimpse into the three day trip. Thanks guys for one of the best experiences in my life.
Having been in this game for as long as I have means I have seen trends change, companies come and go, and new generations of riders making their way up the ladder. Watching someone come up from early days is a great experience. The absolute love for cruising on two wheels is shown on their face. The raw excitement of discovering what you can do on a bike for the first time; its like adding fuel to a fire. Sage Howard is one of the local Oregon guys who is developing some real good bikes skills and a style that is his. This shot was from a sunset session at the now infamous dinosaur park (Tigard Park). He was leaning some of these out with consistency so of course I wanted to capture a moment.
