I was shooting a mountain bike race. Normally, I rely on my Canon R6 Mk II. It’s fast, accurate, and built for exactly this kind of work.
But I brought along one of my Canon 30D bodies.
A $40 camera.
My challenge was simple:
Could I capture the race using it?
What a summer.
Between the dust, the caffeine, and the thousands of miles in Nacho the Van, I spent the past few months chasing bikes either with a camera in hand, a coffee kettle on the boil, or sometimes both. From the high desert of Bend to the red dirt of Arizona to the breezy Oregon Coast, I served up pourovers and snapped photos at more than 20 cycling events across the West.
When I started Loam Coffee in 2015, I was only focused on roasting and selling bags of coffee. That was it. But things change. Businesses grow and evolve over time. Loam Coffee is going through an evolution right now.
Coffee. Photography. Why not bring them together?
