Assuming Rory’s actual best is in the mid-700 kilojoules, I’m still utterly blown away. My personal best is 242 kilojoules on a 20-minute ride, or a 545 kilojoule pace in 45 minutes (something I was proud of until I read this piece about Rory). So he’s still 37.6% better than I am. And that’s if I could somehow keep my pace up — I fell to the floor moaning for 10 minutes after I finished my PR ride.

Ain’t this the truth. Here I am, 10:15PM, having arrived at the office at 7:30AM, and only stopping for a 30 minute supper break and a 25 minute ride on the Peloton. I chose this profession, so you won’t catch me complaining about it. But I can sympathize with those who can’t find the guts to call it quits for the day.
An Autumn Stroll

Looking back through old photos — because the only way to experience photography right now is to look through old photos — has led me down more than a few rabbit holes.
For one, I want photography kit again (it's been a long time since I experienced G.A.S.).
And for two, I clearly forgot to share a variety of photo galleries from last fall.
We were able to get out to shoot this beautiful couple just before the lockdowns in mid-October. Every leaf had fallen and the evenings had grown really crisp and cool.
But this shoot had some more variety to it. Everything was initially scheduled to be shot during golden hour. Golden hour in Manitoba in October is... short. 45 minutes maybe? And of course, everything ran extra late.
It turned out, though, that the following blue hour suited this shoot particularly well. From the browns and blacks of their attire through to the browns and blacks of the surrounding environment, the hint of fresh blue around them made for a better backdrop than I could have hoped for. I'd like to pretend I knew all along these photos would turn out so well, but I got lucky.
I'm looking forward to getting back outside in the next few months to shoot more families and couples. The season just got going last year before everything suddenly came to a halt.
