I hope you had as great of a time at the Single Speed World Championships as I did. There was much fun to be had and lots of great "photo" moments.
If you had your photo taken in the morning at Buckley Park in front of the black backdrop, you can find them here.
In the same gallery, my friend Brett Woods has posted some killer shots he took of folks riding the ridge line. You might be there as well.
View the photos and buy prints and fun tchotchkes with your face on it here:

SSWC 09 is coming to town
Durango is about to have thousands of single speeders invading its sleepy little streets. Its the 2009 Single Speed World Championships. It is hosted in a different city every year and has visited several countries over the last few years. This year Passion Productions has been honored the responsibility of hosting the festivities in Durango and they don't take it lightly.
First off is the course itself. It is gonna be a bitch. I've ridden it with gears and its an asskicker. I've already heard people complaining about its severity. It's the WORLD championships, its supposed to be hard!
But really, this isn't about the race, its about the experience. Bailey, Cheeney and all the fine ladies that are Passion Productions never come up short when they entertain. The parties, events, prizes, contests and random chaos that will prevail makes everyone guessing and keeps everybody smiling.

I've had the pleasure of working with these guys behind the camera. Its something I really love. I shoot a lot of architecture, portraits and weddings. A lot of these jobs, as much as I love them, are bound by lots of guidelines and rules from clients and standards. Shooting photos for Passion Productions throws all of that out the window. I get to shoot whatever and however we feel at the moment. If you happen to be coming to Durango for the race, pick up the SSWC mag. I'm happy to say that I have a ton of really fun photos all throughout it, including the cover.
We just finished shooting all of the best SSWC registration pieces. We're making big prints and Doom is making custom frames for all them. They will be on display at Ska Brewing on Saturday night. I just ordered some cool new equipment for a new portrait shoot I want to do on Saturday night during the festivities. It should be very cool and I'll post shots soon after I recover from the weekend. I like shooting mass portrait projects at these events. Figuring out a creative way to capture a lot of unique people who share the same passion is lots of fun. One of my last portrait projects was during the Rally of the Dead, another silly single speed event held by Passion Productions.
I hope you come to our little town to join the fun. Its gonna be a blast and we welcome all. And just remember, when you're getting your ass handed to you on the extended ridge, just look around and enjoy the beauty that surrounds you. Its not that bad.
Cheers
