Okay, lost the camera, waiting for a new one. It was a toss up between the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX5 and the Canon S95. I’ve been a Canon user for many years, still use my trusty 20D DSLR all the time, but I decided to go with the LX5 this time around. More on the cameras … Read more
Well, today when I went to download photos from a mountain bike ride, I couldn’t find my camera. The reason I couldn’t find it is because I set it on the roof of my truck when the ride was over and I drove away without taking it off the roof. Pretty stupid, but it happens … Read more
Summer is finally here and what a great day to start it off. Sunny and the low 80’s. The wind finally died for a few hours so we woke up at 2:30 AM and headed up to one of the high lakes. Not the highest lakes yet, they are still snow bound. Maybe next week … Read more
Looks like tomorrow morning the wind will be calm for a few hours so we must grab the opportunity to try and get a little kayak fishing in. I’ve got some photos from the North Bonneville Disc Golf Association Amnesia Open on Sunday and a couple photos of a new trail I came across today, … Read more
Here is a Super 8 movie from the water of surfing the south side of Oceanside Pier in 1983. This was some of the first water footage I ever took, testing out one of my camera housing designs. Surfing in the video are Sonny Miller, Allen Carrasco, Wally Inoyue and Chris Olivas.
The photos from the Mt. Hood Cycling Classic are up on the WatermanAtWork website.

We are accustomed to a lot of rain up here in the Pacific Northwest, but this crappy spring weather is really starting to get old. After a night’s worth of heavy rain and a morning thunderstorm, the mud was so slippery, the second I got a couple feet out of my driveway, my truck slid … Read more
I’ve uploaded a video coming down Fir Mountain Road off of Fir Mountain in Hood River. Pretty healthy climb up and fun downhill. Check that downhill speed, no guard rails.
The past couple days have been beautiful, a real break from the record bad spring weather we’ve been having. It’s been sunny, with a bit of a cool breeze, but 60 degrees seems like mid summer in Austin compared to the previous few months. Even though there is a 100 pound killer cougar out there, … Read more
