The Elliptigo Glide bike! We just completed studio photography for the website launch of Elliptigo. Part elliptical trainer, part bicycle the Elliptigo was created out of necessity. Co founder and Ironman triathlete, Bryan Pate was forced to engage in low-impact excercise due to knee & hip injuries. Bryan prefered the elliptical trainer over a bicycle, but didn't like being stuck in a gym. This bike is fast and climbs like a champ. Last July Bryan and co founder, Brent completed the 129 mile Sierra Death ride on Elliptigos with 5 mountin passes and over 15000 feet of climbing.

I was invited to donate a print for the Happenstance photo exhibition at Subtext Gallery. 29 other San Diego photographers are contributing to the show. The images will be auctioned with a portion of the proceeds to benefit the Monarch School. Founded in 1988, Monarch School and its committed team of teachers, administrators and volunteers is dedicated to providing homeless and at-risk children with an accredited education while caring for their basic needs. Today, more than 100 kids between the ages of 7 and 18 are enrolled. My image is the old trailer (Upper right).
