A Bike Ride on the Croisette

June 25, 2009

I’m working on assignment in Cannes in the south of France this week. I was given the opportunity to ride around on one of the Yahoo! “purple pedals” bikes. These whizzy retro machines are equipped with a solar-powered GPS and webcam, and when they’re underway, they take a photo and relay their position once per minute. You can see the route I took, as well as some of the photos the bike took here: http://purplepedals.com/

Yes, I do this kind of thing for a living. Silly, huh?

I made a 9-minute HD video which chronicles my ride along the beach. Here it is.

Off to the Côte d’Azur

And my place of business for the coming week is the famous “Croisette”, Cannes’ main Boulevard.

This week we’re at the very southernmost tip of Baja California in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. It’s quite beautiful here, and we’re loving the sunshine, the friendly people, the comida y cervezas and the togetherness. See y’all in 2009!

Meanwhile, here’s a few photos of the crew…

On the road again

October 22, 2008

This week your peripatetic (definition: walking about; itinerant; nomadic) blogging shutterbug is back in the place of his birth: Chicago, Illinois. I am here to photograph the goings-on at a huge water convention called WEFTEC. Water is, of course, a hugely important part of our world, and has, in recent years, become a real political hot potato. So it’s interesting learning more about the technological processes required to process the waste water that we produce in increasingly frightening quantities.

Here are a few photographic highlights…
