As I have built myself up as a runner I have made many friends. Some of those friends are multi sport athletes. I began riding a bike. And I have for a while now toyed with the idea of taking on a triathlon. Then in 2025 after a year of big bike adventures which included riding around all of the 11 finger lakes in NY, culminating in a 100 mile ride (my… Read More

I have been struggling a lot to create any photography this winter. I can’t remember the last time I photographed anything. I don’t know if it just the times we are living in getting me down. Or that I have just been too distracted and unfocused. Allowing the flow of social media to wash over me. Or maybe I am trying too hard to find “balance” by spending a little bit of… Read More

When we planned our adventure of riding around each of the 11 Finger Lakes we had things spaced out nicely so that we could slowly build our distance. We had time between each planned ride for more training and building our endurance as our distance climbed. But as we reached the end of our planned riding schedule things got a little cramped. After having to delay our Seneca Lake ride because we… Read More

On August 30, 2025 we set out to ride all the way around Seneca Lake. A route that would be over 82 miles. By far the most miles I would ride in a day to that point. I was getting a little nervous in the lead up to this ride. Our previous high mileage day was when we rode around 2 different lakes back to back for a total of a little… Read More

This year a friend who knows me all too well apparently put me in touch with a friend of theirs who had an idea. They wanted to ride around all 11 of the Finger Lakes in New York. And the goal was to do it all in the spring and summer of 2025. Up to this point I have been riding my bike pretty regularly but I have never undertaken a serious… Read More

I really enjoy being outside in nature. Most of the time I like to be moving through nature. Trying to see all that I can see. For me moving through nature mostly means following hiking trails. There are several nice local trails to enjoy a short hike on near where I live. But I really crave a sense of adventure. Even if it’s not really an adventure but trails I have been… Read More

As an artist have you ever had something you have wanted to do but just never gotten around to doing it. It wasn’t a priority at the moment. There didn’t feel like a sense of urgency to get it done now. So we just put it off, and off, and off. That has been me a lot of times. As a photographer, I have driven by local scenic areas and thought to… Read More

I love getting out for a good adventure. I am so fortunate to have friends who also enjoy an adventure. This weekend I was able to explore some new to me trails. That is the best kind of adventure. A friend of ours got the idea for this adventure and planned it out for us. The plan was to hike approximately 15 miles point to point. We would hike the entire Interloken… Read More

When I am out and about I am always looking for way to experience nature. If you are also someone who enjoys nature making a trip to Canandaigua Lake is a good way to book some time with nature. There are places to get out in nature north, south, east, and west. At the north end of Canandaigua Lake lies the town of Canandaigua. The town of Canandaigua is home to some… Read More

Living in the Finger Lakes Region of New York has many benefits. For me the most rewarding aspect of living in the Finger Lakes Region is access to so much outdoor options. Beautiful nature scenes and a variety of different ways to enjoy being outside. A big part of this is obviously due to the Finger Lakes themselves. Cayuga Lake and its surrounding areas might just be the epitome of what I… Read More
