Trying to be a cool blogger




In my effort to become really cool through the wittiness and cool photos on my blog, I tried to take a good self portrait of myself on my ride yesterday.  I had three hours to ride, and I set out towards Bridgewater hill road.  It is as fun as it sounds.  On my way back, I attempted to take a riding self portrait, because that is what cool bike riding, bike blogging people do.  Or, at least Rick does it, and he seems cool.  So, in my efforts to be cool I attempted to take a sweet, riding my bike, looking cool picture of myself.  My first attempt was not so good.  
Kind of trippy, but not very badass.  My second attempt was a bit better. 

Not quite so Fear and loathing in Las Vegas as the first, but still not very befitting such a cool bikeblogger like myself.  As they say, the third time is a charm, and it took me three tries to get something that looked okay. 

I even got some of the background in, even if it is rather boring.  Maybe some day I will take a ride in a more scenic portion of the Greater Franklin area (sarcasm) and take a really cool picture.  Or maybe I should just quit while I am ahead.

  1. Rick Just holds his arm out pretending he's holding a camera, then his wife snaps the shot.

  3. I've had years and years of self photo taking to hone my fine skillz. The only way to get lots and lots of photos of yourself onto the web is to do it yourself.

    wax on, wax off and stuff.
