Stupor Bowl 16

Another year another edition of Stupor Bowl pix. It was a year to remember with the long course, new snow and cold temp. Here is a few shots from the day.

Summer 2012

On this cold day in January I thought it only appropriate to reflect on the JPS family vacation this past summer. Tettegouche state park was the backdrop for the annual family/friend get away. Camp grounds are reserved a year in advance for us and a few select friends. Nothing relaxes the soul like sitting by a water fall all afternoon reading, swimming, snacking, talking with friends and throwing rocks. Take a look and stay warm.

 

It's been a busy year.

It has been a busy year. Here are just a few of thing we have taken on over the last few months. It seems as if table top has taken over JPSPhoto. Working on some motion pieces that will be available soon.

Summer 2011

 The summer of 2011 has come to an end. Summer started with the new addition of the family finally coming home from the hospital_which of course was the highlight. The rest of the summer was dotted with such events as a trip to the north shore, work, B-day parties, work, trips to the cabin, work and BBQ after BBQ. Pretty awesome. Check the pix below.

Wini at home.

This does not happen often.

Lake Superior camping trip with the family.

Lucha Libra wrestling match....totally crazy.

Axel on the Kick Bike.

Field trip to the Como Zoo.

Things have changed allot since I went to the Como Zoo with my Grandfather when I was a kid. Now the 10-10 cages that used to house the animals are administration offices. A good thing. Rain, smell and the conservatory-what more could you ask for?

Taking me back to Asia.

Holding me here at home.

Stupor Bowl 14

     Every year I ride the local bicycle race called the Stupor Bowl. It is put on by local bike currier's and brings in people from all over the US. Being one of the OG riders from back in the day I have to give props to the organizers and people that come out to participate. What started with twenty some riders has turned into 300 plus participants and grows every year. Nice job.
     Being a bike messenger is what got me in the photo business. I had access to all the big studios and agency's in town and hooked up an internship at Parallel after collage which then turned into assisting and eventually shooting. As I have said numerous time....Being a bike messenger was the best job I ever had..it just had no upward mobility.
     Anyway check the pix from this years Stupor Bowl 14. I tride to race and photograph at the same time. A mind bender but worth it.  Later, JPS
