Congratulations, Lauren and John!

First dance

Cake

Human pyramid?

Wheelchair dance???

Rocking out.

John even did a stage dive. Not sure if Lauren is trying to provide an extra measure of safety or wants nothing to do with this.

Groomsmen represented.

Mr and Mrs Batman.

Give yourselves a hand, that was a good time.

View from the venue.

Don't worry, Jefe was not hurt during this photobomb.

Rainbows and Volcanoes on the Big Island.

Let's get serious.

The basin in it's proper, liquid form.

Steve, lifting on Saturday.

Lily, at the end of a typical long RBC HPG Saturday. Sleep erging is a valuable skill when your practice lasts about 6 hours.

Told Tobin to look mean. Job done.

Cleaning up the upstairs office, looked out of the window, and saw this guy in the distance. Told Alexis to grab my camera from downstairs, and we went to the roof. Eagle starts circling pretty far away. Alexis starts waving her arms and yelling "free mice over here". Eagle flies directly overhead.

Radcliffe in the snow early last spring.

Subtle. I like it.

It's Tech Thursday! Coach K and ETW, last May.

Ominous.

How long before these oars will touch Charles River water again?

Moody skies across the street.

Greg heading to the HOCR starting line.

From a snowier time about a week and a half ago. I am over this weather stuff.

Black Death chasing 87 Gold. Or British Rowing media chasing Row2k. You decide.

Enough of the white stuff already!

Browsing through the archives, back to the battle between Sam Loch and Angel Fournier Rodriguez. Loch took an early lead, but Rodriguez's lethal second thousand won the day.

That left turkey definitely got some hops.

In case the CRASH-Bs volunteers need some hints on assembly. Or because I was really bored.

More from Thursday's sunrise spectacular.

MIT's Pierce Boathouse at dawn. It might be a little long in the tooth, but you really can't beat the location at the 1500 meter mark of the 2k race course, and with the Boston skyline in the background. (And I hear they are working on the long-in-the-tooth part).

Two minutes of clouds racing across the skyline, all in one exposure.

It's snowing outside. I could post photos of erging. But I'd rather provide some hope.

Perfect camo.

Boats. Racing.

The Institute was in rare form as Lexi headed out of town.

CBC in the powerhouse in October.

Post snow storm sunrise was pretty sweet, even without leaving the house.

The 24 passing by RBC.

Post winter storm Lexi, the Berkleley (aka Old Hancock) Building still reporting snow.

Friday, February 05, 2016


Fours Friday, or Futile Friday, you decide.

More neighbors.

Today's bonus blog post inspired by Tina Vandersteel.

Why can't I have _____ at the boathouse?



2012 Olympic Champions in the LM2x, Rasmus Quist and Mads Rasmussen taking on the Charles last fall. If you haven't seen their Olympic final, you should. What a great race it was.

Clouds travelling over Boston.

Don't let the grey skies currently overhead fool you. This is February 3rd, 2016, and CBC says--"Game on!"

No, that's not ice. It's just a loooong exposure.

Harvard, last fall.

Steamy night at the media lab.

Congrats, Austin, on making another erg cry. 6:07.6. Damn, dude. Also nice job by his coxswain(in this photo), Nick, who pulled a 6:11.5. Photo from the 2013 CRASH-Bs.

Cambridge and Boston skylines crowd in behind the Harvard Stadium.
