Pictures of "My Great America"

some folks have sent me emails regarding various subjects.
One of the most frequently asked question was about the photography.
("How the hell did you take pictures like that?", "What kind of camera are you using?" "is there a photographer following you?")



1. I've been using Canon 5D and 17-40mm Lens for the entire trip. I use canon G5 as a sub-camera. I carry Lomo-AC for special pictures.


(17-40mm is ideal for taking wide pictures likes this; a biker and a nice blond lady on a same picture!)




Sometimes I put my camera on something and set in on timer.
I have to make sure that people around it don't notice the camera so that I can get very natural pictures)


You don't have to put your camera on a tripod to get a self-portait.
I use various tools to take self-portraits. My favorite is - simply putting it on the ground.



Taking pictures of Diana has never been easy.

She's so cocky (is that a right word to use?)

....

..... because she's a woman... (just kidding)


I think everybody has to find something to enjoy while they on a bike tour.
Since I don't like riding bicycle (that's so true) I devoted lots of my time taking pictures when I take rest.

The problem is, I hate riding bicycle, And also, taking pictures.

Thank God I don't have to do them anymore!!
