Mutiny: Come Together

BMX. Texas. Mutiny. And even a Flag Hatchet shirt makes a cameo (thanks Mikey!). Got some time to burn this morning? Watch this and when you’re done, peep the gallery here.

I Don’t Know What I Love More…

This bike, or this Camera. I’ve been using the hell out of both as of late and while there’s not enough medium format content to make it an official Recent Roll post, there have been some gems coming out of this lens. The biggest challenge has been using this Distagon T* 50mm with its dual focusing rings. That and general exposure. Shooting with a Hasselblad has really changed the way I look at film photography. I don’t see myself picking up my AE-1 for a while.

See some more recent shots below…

I Hope Everyone Had a Great Weekend…

… that looked a little like this (after riding, of course). Bottoms up!

San Antonio Midnight Crits

Photos by David Rangel

Down in San Antonio, there’s an event called Midnight Crits. It’s a flash-mob style race series, where the details are posted to Facebook the night of. These races take place on random nights, on a .6 mile course, as people battle it out for 16 laps. David’s got a Flickr set up from the second race, so head over and check them out.

My 4th of July

Like everyone else today, I can barely function. Each year, the 4th of July proves to be a great time. I’ve yet to blow off any digits, or shoot my eye out and so far, the only damage has been to my bank account. I spent the afternoon at our local digs, the Yellow Jacket Social Club and enjoyed the festivities. Dogs, dudes, babes, beer, bourbon and a lotta randomness ensued. Check it out below and if you have any cool photos from your afternoon, share them in the comments.

Recent Roll: 100 Miles of Fun

A century in Texas can be boring as hell if you don’t plan accordingly. It’s easy to get stuck alongside a busy highway for miles on end if you’re not careful selecting your routes. When I wanted to put in a hundred or so miles a few weeks back, I had a general idea of where I wanted to go: Pedernales, Johnson City and past Hamilton Pool. Most of the roads were desolate, with minimal vehicular traffic and climbing over the hill ranges provided some excellent descents into the river valleys.

One of my favorite routes is the switchback over the river right outside of Hamilton Pool. It’s this really sharp right, over a worn-down bridge and then a steep, switchback up, landing you at the base of one of the few Cat 3 climbs in the Austin area. Four of us went out in high spirits and under the cloudy skies, we had a blast. Until the sun came out and scorched us all. This Recent Roll is dedicated to fun with friends. We totalled 110 miles and about 5,500′ with an 18mph average. Not bad.

A Few Races This Weekend

This weekend brings about the CBNC Revenge of the Nerds II and the Where the Hell is Waldo 3 event in LA, NYC and San Antonio. Check that out below.

Another Day Another LOW

At this point, I’ve lost count of how many LOW‘s I’ve photographed. But at least this one is on entirely different turf. Josh’s LOW is the first one in Texas. Fancy that! More to come…

Justin Taylor: True San Martian

Justin Taylor is the most insane person I know but AJ breaks it down best:

“1.He can drink more beer than you
2.He can get hit by a car and sleep it off in a bush
3.He can drop kick two frat guys at once
4.He can break his hip and not know it for 3 weeks.”

Truth.

Recent Roll: CBSP Ride B&W

Excuse the lack of updates today, I’m slowly recovering from a week of madness in SF. These few stragglers were left on a roll of Neopan 400 during the Colorado Bend State Park ride we went on last month. Black and white really captures the looming skies and textures of the ride. I’m digging these!
