In response to questions about what direction my new adventures have taken I wanted to share a link to one of them – Theoretical Agriculture. It’s similar to Scooter in the Sticks in that I post pictures and text related the things I see and experience. The content grows from the landscape I work in as a photographer. I’m interested in developing my photographic skills and ability to bring a variety of approaches and styles to the assignments I shoot. The ritual of posting on a blog helpful in keeping me engaged in creating new work – a blog is a hungry animal. I’ve talked with my boss about it and developed some guidelines and I’m ready to roll.
Just as I did with Scooter in the Sticks and riding I plan to continue to create new content on a regular basis. It’s pretty simple to do since I am working so much with a camera anyways. If you would like to follow along you might find some things of interest. And you know I’ll find some way to work the scooter into a picture.
I still have some riding dreams. If they should take shape or I find myself in a unique riding situation I will post it on Scooter in the Sticks. It’s not dead. I prefer to think of it as in hibernation or semi-retirement.
And there is a personal writing project I am finally going to sit down and work on. I have lots of notes and ideas. Now is the time to sit down at the computer and write. The riding experience plays a central role in the story but that’s all I’ll say.
Again, thanks to all of you who have read and posted here. It’s been great and there will still be something new from time to time.
Thank you Steve!

Please don’t stop Scooter blogging all together. I wish you luck with your new project and hope you reconsider your hibernation.

Thanks, Steve, for keeping us informed. It was great talking with you last week. Whatever direction this new blog, Theoretical Agriculture, takes, I am sure it will be a great read. So, I’d better get over there and subscribe to the RSS feed!

thank goodness Steve, you are back. It was your blog that finally inspired me to create a blog too. I have also done photography all my life and I wanted a vehicle to improve my writing skills. You are right, a blog is a hungry animal, you always have to keep feeding it with new material which is sometimes hard not to include the mundane. I would like to aspire to achieve your level of writing interspersed with lots of pictures.
thanks and I’ll follow you over to your ‘new’ home

Wow. Science, agriculture, photography. That is kind of an awesome thing to be doing.
Thanks for the update Steve. It goes to show that your wheels are always turning.
The new project sounds fascinating. I look forward to see the work.
Best to you!
Thanks for having been a riding and blogging companion…
good luck with your new endeavours.
Steve, Here is some potential “Sticks” fodder. Maybe you and your readers could help me track down some info regarding this mysterious black and white Vespa photo.
(I would have emailed this to you, but couldn’t find an address on your site…)
You’ll be missed my friend.
“A good traveler never intent to reach its destination”… and you have not! Don’t fool yourself…
Whatever your new path takes you on I look forward to reading it, feeling it as you have always done in the past.
We will still be on the Road ourselves waiting for you as I am sure our path will cross some day.
You be well Steve… always.
