A first foray…

Normally, when my work gets used in magazines, it’s only for the pretty pictures – very occasionally am I allowed to write the captions and even rarer still if I’m given the task of describing them in greater detail for a photo essay or similar.

With that in mind, I was fairly gobsmacked when the Editor of Mountain Biking Magazine asked me for 2000 words on my recent trip to Fruita, CO, to back up the shots I’d taken down there. Having never really written much since English classes in high school, it took me an inordinately large amount of time (mainly due to a not insignificant amount of procrastination), but I’m fairly happy with the end result. Thankfully, so are the mag – they ran it as their first cover feature story, albeit with a change in the title, presumably for space reasons; I’d originally entitled it “Photo Gimps and the Angry Midget”.

Here’s some low res scans, go hunt out the mag, then tell me how bad my grammar is. As an added bonus, there’s a bunch of my Sea Otter shots in there too, huzzah!
