The Preston Pond loop is located off of Notch Road in West Bolton, Vermont. It's roughly 4 miles of Vermont-sytle single-track which begins at the parking area and loops around by Lower and Upper Preston Pond.

The video footage was shot over two different rides. The video ends with a 40 MPH ride down Notch Road (on the West Bolton side). The video is accompanied by the song The National Anthem from the album "Kid A" by Radiohead.

I have been posting one photograph for each day that passes. I call this project "Things I Saw". It began on January 7, 2008.

The video is a collection of the all the photographs from the Things I Saw galleries up to the end of June 2008. The video is accompanied by the song Weird Fishes / Arpeggi from the album "In Rainbows" by Radiohead.

"The Stream" has been being constructed since 2001. What was once a mosquito and litter infested, sometimes stagnant, overgrown Vermont mountain stream has been transformed into a play area for my kids.

The Stream has two hand crafted waterfalls, seven bridges, a fort, a swing, walking paths with railings, stairs and path guides, rock walls and stump seating. It has been dug out by hand as well as by shovel. It has been widened, dug deeper and more narrow to allow for constant flow, and embankments created to prevent spring-thaw caused overflow.

The Stream reconstruction project has been maintained by me! Michael McKennedy

I took a mountain bike ride yesterday up around the Preston Pond Loop here in West Bolton, Vermont. It's a teriffic ride! I strapped my camera to the handlebars and shot some video footage. View the visually enhanced ride set to the song Bodysnatchers by the musically superior band called Radiohead. You won't see any moutain bike crashes or injuries. (I usually try to avoid crashing on my moutain bike, but, sometimes a quick launch over the handlebars can really wake one up!)

June 10, 2008 - a storm rolled in. I caught this short video clip of a lightning storm.

This video was shot with a digital camera. There are 3 of the same clip "strung" together so you don't have to keep rewinding - although that would be pretty simple to do!

Light...what would we see without it? What does a camera "see" when it doesn't have much of it? This video is made up of various photographs with the common theme being light, or the absence of light. All photographs were taken by me. Video produced by jHead with music by Stereolab.
