Bike Race

I love taking photos of the natural world (and other slow-moving objects).

I came home and loaded about a hundred shots from a couple of the Criterium events into my computer.
They seemed a bit disappointing... dark and static. What I really remembered was how fast the riders were going by in the moment, so I started layering dozens of the images together. |

Pretty soon, I had digitally re-created some of the movement and excitement of the race in this piece as you can see to the right.
I've printed and sold a several of these images over the last couple of years... each one I make is slightly different—size, format, or color. Each photograph I make is an original in that sense.

Criterium (19" x 67") exhibited at the Theatre Art Galleries in High Point, NC from July 26 - Sept 22, 2013 in the Invitational Exhibition, "The Bicycle: Art Meets Form"
This 21" x 76" version of Bike Race was juried into the National Bike Art Show at the Dairy Center for the Arts in Boulder, CO from March 9-31, 2012.
Entered into a competition for a supergraphic on the side of an Asheville Transit bus. Unfortunately, came in fourth - just edged out by by a hare. (it's been a while, but I think that one of the winners included a bunny...)
