THE SCHLECKnd TEE PRE-ORDER

 

Andy has started to carve out a place for himself on the podium at Grand Tours.  It’s not the top step yet, so we thought we would have some fun with it. 

 We are doing a PRE-ORDER 9/19-9/30 on our new SCHLECKnd TEE $23  ($1 donated per tee to Best Friends Animal Society) available in men’s and women’s on athletic gray. Purchase Men’s or Women’s.

 

Get yours during the pre-order as we might make this one a limited edition!

This is hilarious!

Killing it!

The droid in my pocket comes in handy for capturing meaningful (and meaningless) pixels.  There were also times where a real camera was near and some decent resolution came through.  Here is a photodump of some events that happened this summer and into the new school year:

I was able to help out on a NatGeo shoot in the sound stage.  No hints for what the show is, but when the time comes, I will keep you posted.

Loading the oldschool 8mm projector

Zeiss prime’s make me drool…

Playing around with rifles on set always makes for a good shoot (get it?).

DC proved to be a lot of fun when Dave and Erica Baker were around.  I’m forever thankful for the fellowship and fun we had this summer:

Everything I own + the three of us in the front seat of a Ford Taurus.

4th of July picknick at National Mall

My good friend Drew Crowson also came out for a few months and we were able to explore the athletic side of the Capitol.

Hanging out at Red Bull National Wake competition trying to ignore the fact we are both very white.

At a DC united game sitting in seats we definitely didn’t pay for.

Washington Nationals game sitting in seats we also didn’t pay for.

As the summer came to an end, so did my internship with National Geographic Television.  It was an amazing opportunity and the skills I learned will be with me throughout the rest of my production career:

Standing outside of the hub where it all happens.

From DC Amy and I drove straight to Indiana and then flew to Colorado.  My Dad, Amy and I all decided to get sick and end up in the ER for fluids.

Feeling great…

After time in Colorado it was straight back to school only to discover that we got TWO new Sony F3’s, 30, 50 and 80mm lens kits, ARRI matte boxes and Red Rock Micro rail mounts…I’m still drooling:

Thanks for the read…it’ll be a good semester.

I love this man, too.  Back when moustaches weren’t ironic…

I’ll stop with the photos soon, sorry.  

Mustache FTW!

I’m all for bringing this style back into cycling

I’m not one to normally apologize for lack of posting, so I won’t.

Day 4 of this possible e-coli sickness has wiped me out so hard.  It started 3am Saturday morning in DC, then Amy and I drove to Indiana which took 12 hours instead of 10 because I had to stop so often.

The next morning we flew out of Indiana to Durango (first time I’ve thrown up on a plane) and I sat on the couch for a good while before going to the ER last night.

They pumped me full of fluids 2000/ml (2 liters) to be exact and I still didn’t have to pee.  I was feeling some slight pain around my appendix also so we did a CT scan where the technician was a man in his 60’s who was playing the song “Tequila” at 9pm while I was in the tube…what a guy.

After another hour of waiting with my Parents and Amy in the ER, the doctor cleared me to go home…but not without sending home a DIY stool sample kit so they could really see what the heck is going on in my stomach since I didn’t have to go #2 in the ER (stage fright I guess).

So there you have it…on day 4 of whatever this hellacious sickness is with no idea when it’s going to clear up.

(Pedialyte) Cheers

In 1996, Göran Kropp rode a bicycle from his home in Sweden to Mount Everest, scaled it alone without oxygen tanks, and cycled back home.

“It is not the mountain we conquer,” wrote Edmund Hillary, “but ourselves.”

Wow

Unreal!

It’s the mountains.  It’s the sunrise coming over snow covered peaks as I step outside into the below freezing air that freezes my nostrils together.  It’s the standing on top of a peak and almost falling over in awe of God’s creativity and wonderous creation that puts me in my place.  It’s the sound of the wind in the oak brush and the pine trees on a hot summer day as the pungent scent of sage penetrates my nostrils.

I yearn for the beauty and the inspiration that God communicates to me through the mountains.  It is there that my creativity flows and my spirit overflows.  It is there that I am humbled to my knees but my head is stuck in the clouds.  It’s the only place in the world that can slow me down to a point of speechlessness and tranquility.

You see, I have told myself this for years, but I have never truly felt it until now - sitting in the middle of Washington, D.C. surrounded by asphalt and humidity.

I yearn to be where I can dwell in the presence of the creator, the Holy One, who is almighty and all powerful.  It’s the mountains.
