SUNDVALL SPEW

Since 30daysofbiking had such a signifcance impact on many people, myself included, I decided I needed a new challenge for this April’s edition. I needed a challenge to involve myself in the community behind 30daysofbiking more. I thought at first I could just tell my (past) gushing love story that started because of 30daysofbiking. I thought I could just compile 30 different bike photographs from bike racks and show them off, that was too easy (and can be done without talking or communicating with anyone).

I kept thinking. Then I reflected, I’ve been seeing life from behind a view finder for six years now. I know this is my strongest passion. I mean, I killed two dslrs sensors from the amount of photographing. Usually, focusing on photojournalism of political (social) events or enjoying daily life. Or obsessively looking deeply into tree branches. But I realized I lacked developing a photo skill set in posing people.

So, the challenge stands - 30 portraits (or more, says the hopeful) of people and the bikes they pedal. (Not quite in 30 days but if that happens, it happens - my goal is just before May.)

How can this happen?
* You live in the twin cities area.
* You want to be visually part of a project, instead of just a biking stat.
* You desire moments of laughter about sharing stories about the things we’ve seen on the Greenway. Or just that one bike adventure that didn’t quite go so well. We’ll even make new biking memories!
* You contact me and we discuss ideas, plot out a ride and where we should meet.


For the investment of $75,
* You get a new friend, whom you can openly talk my ear off about bike specs!
* A one hour photo session on location.
* Drool worthy close ups of your bike, as pieces of the puzzle - abstractly.
* Portraits of you and your bike but it doesn’t go anywhere without you, so the beauty is in the two!
