I SHOT THE SHERIFF

Maybe not the sheriff and by no means any real shooting, except with my camera.

Hooked up with Trev again to shoot a bike he built for Kiehl's, the cosmetic giant. I think Kiehl's is so cool now, I'm gonna shampoo my hairless head with it and use their skin lotion and shit. Their stock just went up by having SuperCo build them a classy ride.

It was 101-degree heat and I burned my okole sitting in the back of my truck catching a few frames of the guy smashing down this alley.

HOT BIKE & SUPERCO FXR-ELA

How could I forget to mention last week, my feature for Trevelen's FXR-ELA got the cover of the current issue of Hot Bike.

Should be at your local news stand now!

T-ROD'S BLACK PAN

Some sample of yesterday.

For an upcoming Hot Bike feature.

BRANDON CASQUILHO'S REAGANOMICS

So I heard its out, the latest issue of Street Chopper featuring Brandon Casquilho's shovelhead. I shot this almost a year ago, but hey, things happen. But its in print now. Here are some excerpts.

SM SPORTSTER AND LENGUA

Shot Speed Merchant's Mono-Shock Sportster for Hot Bike today. Brawny Built. Then we took a lengua taco break. Beef tongue and mechanical minded delight!

ANYONE REMEMBER THIS FEATURE?

I shot this for The Horse maybe 6 or 7 years ago. Chopper Nizzle in full effect!

Ran across these tonight while looking for old photos.

I need a slide scanner - got thousands of old slides from a hundred old features!

PANHEAD MIKE'S 1964 XLCH

By request, Panhead Mike Trussell's 1964 XLCH.

It was a really nice day in San Juan Diego, I remember it pretty well.

In fact I even remember what I ate for lunch that day.

Also remember that I used The Hater's fancy camera lens.

It made my eyeballs weird.

I like the ants.

This bike is choice.

So is Panhead Mike.

CHOPPER INNOCENCE EXCERPTS

CHECK'UM OUT

...new issue of Street Chopper with my feature on Chris Olarte's papapapanhead.

IN LARRY DESMEDT WE TRUST

...so after the huge fight weekend, I spent an hour or two with Chris Olarte of Redtail Leather and his Indian Larry inspired panhead. Another upcoming feature for Street Chopper.

Funny thing about Long Beach. It's great for shooting locations... but I always seem to get flanked by homeless people during features. They're all fine and friendly. But sometimes stinky and ask way too many questions.  

I'm just trying to do my job, take some good photos, get a decent interview, but Chris spent more than an hour fielding all the questions about his bike from our new homeless friend. 

The old guy even sang us a new biker song he put together, which I have video footage of that I'll put up later.

It was a good Sunday. I should be writing Chris' feature right around now, its due today. Hopefully Jeff Holt doesn't come to this small corner of the internet and won't see this. 

CHECK OUT LEN!

...in the new issue of Street Chopper, Feb/Mar 2012.

LEN'S 1975 CB400FOUR

...for a feature in Street Chopper. It was doom and gloom this morning in Orange County but we still had a good time.

Len took us to a surprise ramen spot inside Westminster Mall of all places. More on that later.
