Paradise Redux

Photographs from my recent travels in Mexico; to Mahekal at Playa del Carmen, and on to Pedregal at Cabo San Lucas. 

There is incredible beauty there, and wonderful people.

Enjoy the view!

The sea. To be on that boat, with the salt breeze in your face
and the sun on your skin...

Mahekal. The drink options are perfect. I will have something tall and cool.
Then maybe a beverage...

A perfect day for a sail. Or to simply sit and watch a boat.

El Farallon, at Pedregal. This may be the best place for dinner, anywhere.

My favorite pool, at El Fuego, Mahekal. The best night swimming anywhere.

There are few more dramatic entrances than the incredible tunnel to Pedregal.

This place. This time. Perfection. Pedregal.

The perfect cocktail non-lounge, at Pedregal.

Sun... water... a cool drink... yes, please.

It simply does not get much better. Pedregal.

Pedregal. Yes.

Pedregal yoga. Om...
The perfect way to start the day.

A YEAR IN THE SADDLE

A YEAR IN THE SADDLE

A personal project, mostly about riding one specific bike at the velodrome over the course of a year. Great fun to ride, and to photograph. Enjoy the view!

Paradise Found

Mahekal

These photographs are from a recent shoot for Mahekal Beach Resort, a remarkable place in Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo, Mexico. A beautiful location on the Caribbean coast, staffed with wonderful people. It was an amazing experience... I will definitely be going back!

The Velodrome

This is the latest book in my series "Bike Stuff."

I've combined my location and action photography with my portraiture and studio work to create a volume about the amazing place that is the velodrome.

Small World

The View From Very Close Up

E C U

{Extreme Close Up}

I was inspired by my recent project for Speedplay Pedals to explore the world of close-up photography. 

My goal was to create evocative images of everyday objects. The detail is absolutely amazing; there is a surprising beauty in these images. I have found that sometimes the best way to tell a story is to get really close.
