Riding a fixed gear through city streets might be one of the most significant yet underutilized and under appreciated human experiences available to us.

Out of all the ways we move through the world, nothing quite matches the chemical clarity it brings. It’s not just speed - it’s presence. Survival becomes the game, and the engine you build within yourself is the reward.

You start to wonder - have you ever really touched your limits? Or just circled around them?

There’s something sacred in the challenge. In the discipline. In the quiet decision to return to the bike again and again until it’s no longer something you do, but something you are. Identity dissolves into motion. Pedal becomes breath.

And then there’s the circles…

The bicycle wheel is a repetition of form: circles within circles, motion within motion. Spherical bearings turning within the hub, driving the larger circle of the rim, powered by human legs tracing circular loops, over and over.

Circles within the circles, motion within motions. The fractal nature of the universe reveals itself.

Because everything moves like this.

Sun. Moon. Earth. The Seasons.

Tides ebb and flow. The wind and rain dance as our planet spins in circles to the tune of the one true song.

An orchestra of cycles, all humming in rhythm.

And somehow, for a moment,

you get to ride inside it. 🚲

You step outside, camera in hand, and let the world offer itself - light slipping through leaves, textures whispering from pavement, small moments waiting to be noticed. But the real alchemy happens later… in how you choose to see what you’ve already captured.

Photography doesn’t end with the shutter. It evolves in the arrangement.

There’s something timeless about printing your images and laying them across a table - turning your digital archive into something tactile, something you can physically move, rearrange, and feel. When you shift the order, new relationships begin to reveal themselves. Colors start speaking to each other. Textures echo. Subjects form quiet conversations across space. You can group intuitively, letting instinct guide your hand, or impose structure - organizing by tone, pattern, or theme. Either way, you’re designing a new experience from fragments of the old.

Lately, I’ve been drawn toward multiple exposure work, inspired by a few local riders who blend cycling and photography into something fluid and expressive. There’s a certain rhythm to it - layering moments the way a ride layers effort and flow. I’ve always appreciated this feature on my 5DIII but revisiting it through the lens of a smartphone using the scattered, everyday images already living in my camera roll, has opened up a completely new creative dimension.

It feels less like taking photos, and more like rediscovering them.

Just a painted line, but it feels like freedom.
