I got a new helmet last week, there was a defect in the strap mechanism, so I got it swapped under warranty.  Nice!  Many thanks for the boys at Le Grand Cycle for taking care of me.  If you’re gonna spend as much time on a bike as I do, and you wear a helmet all the time, it might as well be a really nice one.  I love my Giro Atmos.

so… all that being said, I’ve been busy behind the scenes.  Working on client jobs, prepping two new websites and portfolios for me… big business up ahead.  I do appreciate everybody keeping an eye on my work, trust me, when all the new work comes out, it will be worth the way.

cheers, more news soon,
Jerome

Mega-thanks to the one and only Joe Bebel for inviting me to exhibit at Foufs, to JC Savard and all the crazy mofos at PhotoService for their help and support in regards to everything photography and gear related, and to Pierre-Luc and Bruno and the whole gang at Le Grand Cycle for keeping my bikes in top mechanical glory.

Now that this event is wrapped up, you can expect a ton of updates online…. I already tweaked the photo lottery page, and will upload a lot more tonight and in the days to come…

then the real promotion begins… 2009 is here!

The photo below to the left is a shot I took of my partner Michelle, she is the love of my life.  It happens to be a chapter9photography photo from my bathtub series in progress… Below to the right is a self-portrait I took while riding in traffic during a snowstorm. Michelle worries about me when I ride my bike, for all kinds of reasons.

This photo assembly is yet another tribute to the one I love.

I cranked out some casual shots of Olaf afterward to promote his line of t-shirts and hoodies. Shooting in snowstorms is always wicked.  More news soon.
