Unicycle Football

This month I was visited by one of my favorite people, Sol Neelman. Our friendship dates back to the first (third) Aphotoaday Geekfest that I helped organize in Austin in 2005. A few dozen photographers invaded the Days Inn and Star Seeds for a long weekend of photo shenanigans. Friendships were forged and paths forever changed. Sol left the world of newspaper photography, embraced the freelance world, and his love of weird sports.

Lo, these 7 years later (dang we're getting old), he's published his first book with a second on the way. Whenever he comes to visit, weird sports is on the agenda. That's how we found ourselves in San Marcos, Texas for the 2012 semi-finals of the Unicycle Football League. Cooper Neill joined us for some quintessential Texas weirdness.

Bike Fashion for the Statesman

Last month's bike fashion shoot with Mellow Johnny's put way too many things on the wish list.  Clothing fit for fashionistas, but built for cyclists.  Epic.  I also got to take a spin on a bike that cost about as much as my cameras.  Big thanks to models Gayla Corporon and Allan Sieja for looking like total bad asses so early in the morning.
