I woke up this morning and peeked out the bedroom window and was greeted by a brisk, sunny landscape. Granted, the landscape included a view of the trailer park behind my apartment complex but still, it was gorgeous. The ride into work was chilly but enjoyable and it got me to reminiscing about my days back in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Mornings on the high desert are just like this, chilly and sunny with clear skies as far as you can see.
Another random item is this. Portland keeps getting all this recognition as being a bike friendly city yet I find it to be one of the more hostile places to ride a bike. Albuquerque was downright hospitable and safe.
Dig it. I’m losing focus now but just remember, do not discount Albuquerque when it comes to bike friendly places in the United States. And for the record, I love Oregon.
Images of bicycles and cycling in general.

At one point I had set up a formal portfolio and then during some routine cleanup I decided do delete everything and then start over except that I forgot the part about setting up a new portfolio. Now begins the long process of reviewing my digital photographs and sorting them into galleries so that when someone asks for the link to my portfolio I won’t be left standing there with my mouth open and a blank stare in my eyes.
I have began with my collection of cycling themed photographs, most of them taken with the camera on my cell phone. The resolution and quality is not the best but I wanted to display images that were dear to my heart, and as you know, I am a cycling fiend.
Welcome to Albuquerque, New Mexico.

The second gallery will hold my collection of images that were taken when I lived in Albuquerque, New Mexico. It is a work in progress and currently contains images from the campus of the University of New Mexico but will be expanded to feature shots taken all over the city of Albuquerque.
And today I have broken the 30 day mark on my post a day project. There is no stopping me now unless I lose internet access.
On my to-do list are such things as doing the FAFSA for my daughter, getting out and doing more photography and of course, deciding on whether to relocate to Minneapolis or not. For now, I am still down in the trenches helping those who just can’t help themselves. Each day in tech support brings me one step closer to meeting that one unique individual who will be so aggravating that it finally becomes the last straw. I’ve only handed in my badge once and in a moment of weakness I came back to this job but the next time it will be permanent.
Until then, I’ll be here waiting for you. Well, maybe not you but you know what I mean.
