Saying Hello to Bato

I saw that Everest was starting to move around and moan. I got closer to him and told him not to move. He didn’t listen to me, he tried to stand up and fell back down. I was also concerned about coming traffic, especially the ones coming from the south around the bend. Vehicles travel fast on this road and there were two people laying in the middle of the street. I helped Everest move to the side of the road. I asked him if he was ok and if anything hurt. He looked at me and asked what happened.… Continue

The Curse of Casarare

The Chihuahua state highway from Creel is a well maintained paved road that winds through beautiful Ponderosa and pine trees. It had snowed yesterday but today was all blue sky. The nice asphalt was already dry from the melting snow and as I accelerated, I realized that this road was made to be ridden in motorcycles.

As I leaned my bike to the right on another twisty curve I could hear the knobby tires of my DR650 dual sport bike squeak a bit in protest as the rubber met the pavement. I was car… Continue

Photo Shoots of Motorcycles

I started to do some field portraits, and I think I would like to expand more toward my other passion, motorcycles.

This is a photo shoot I did with my brother, I shot him on his Harley overlooking the city of Albuquerque at sunset and at night. This kind of gives y… Continue

So I guess when I get back from vacation (Pacific NW and British Colombia) I will have to try it.

Thanks again for the invite.

By the way, which Department do you work for? I am retired Border Patrol/Special Agent for INS, although my "retired job" was an Instructor at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Artesia, NM. Been re-retired for about 14 months now. Getting cabin fever.

Your photos are freaking awesome. A long, long time ago, in a place far, far away, I used to dream about becoming a professional photographer, and studied a good bit. You manipulate light like one of the Dutch masters. Really impressive work! If you don't mind, I'd like to use a couple for my computer desktop images.

Anyway, I look forward to meeting you on the 14th in Socorro.

At 11:06pm on June 22, 2009, NMTrailboss said…: Thanks for the compliment buggs. Coming from you that means a lot! It's easy to take good photos living in the part of the country we do. Hope your knee will be healing up soon!

Thanx for the stickers!!!

At 5:31pm on March 1, 2009, Kenny said…: Thanks for the welcome, Buggs! For now, I'm strictly a street rider. But Merrilou has a serious hankerin' for a dual-sport so I think we might be looking for something soon.
