Night Moves...

This weekend Adam, Turkey and myself rode down south and met up with Mark Choiniere and Blake Sabbath and did some riding and camping around Julian, CA.  No real plan, just cruising through some of Southern California's most beautiful scenery. I didn't really take any pictures but thats usually a sign that I'm having fun enjoying life.

Ken Nagahara....

I met first met Ken in 2007 on my 27th birthday, I was up in Norcal for work and had the day off.  I knew Max was going to be working on his "new" shop at the time so i figured I'd go see if I could lend a hand. When I rolled up, I remember it looked like Habitat for Humanity or something, there was about a dozen people running around putting up bars on the windows and whatnot, I was taken back a little because I was used to always being faced with resistance anytime I asked for help back home.  As I walked to the back I saw Max standing there, Nirvana on the radio and a couple of the DIY dudes smoothing out some concrete in the back of the shop.  One of them was Ken, didn't say much, just kinda going to town with a trowel. For some reason I asked Max what Ken's deal was and he said he pretty much dropped everything in Japan and came here with basically nothing to his name or in his pockets. Just wanted to skate, take photos and never go back.  Later that night we went to Juan's Place for Mexican food and they sang Happy Birthday to me which has nothing to do with Ken, I just thought it was cool for a bunch of people I had barely met to do something like that.

Since then his english has gotten alot better, he has a cool Shovelhead chopper and is still taking rad photo's of the Bay areas best and others from all over the country.  I'm not sure what his dream was when he left Japan, but I think he's doing okay.

Know Name

It made it to the show but it's still got a little ways to go. Thanks for all the hardwork Jason. Couldn't have expected to own such a cool machine.

Sorry for the lame selfie. For some reason I haven't taken any photos of it and I had to steal this from Geoff at twofoursixer.com

Nash's annual art show

If your in the Orange County area this Saturday evening make your way over to Nash's party. He does it every year for the hell of it and a good time. And he was kind enough to ask me to display some of my photos there with a bunch of rad people. Ask your buddy for a bump start and cruise by.

Long time gone

It's been quite a while since I've had a roll developed. Not havin anything to ride with my friends cuts me out if the loop somewhat and leaves me with less things to take photos of. Instead of a roll lasting me a week or so this roll of 36 shoots has been in my camera for about 3 months. I try to take my time and use them when it feels right and not just shoot to shoot. That's just another beauty of film, being sparing and patient for some special content to fill and make you appreciate it so much more.

Maybe...

Jason is workin on the reincarnated version of my panhead. Time is tight but maybe well have somethin new for the show in June.

this is just cool...

I had posted another Danny MacAskill video a couple years ago because it was pretty wild and also set to the same Band of Horses song as in Guy's part in the Lakai video.  Fast forward to now and he's back with another crazy video...and who doesn't like a little Swedish progressive rock that sounds straight from the Top Gun soundtrack.

art

Carey Brobeck of Wrench Magazine hosted an art show last month that consisted of old Easyriders
Magazine art. Pretty wild seeing the original submissions to the mag with little notes written on them
by David Mann on how it should be laid out or cropped.  One note I remember in particular, a Hal
Robinson doodle, where he wrote on the border of the drawing "sorry, been in a slump...this is all i
got" kind of reminded you of how "normal" these guys really were.  I'm not saying I think these men
were mythical or anything, but when you spend so many years reading and admiring these images in
those old magazines, you kind of forget that these dudes were just like us....stoked on choppers and
sharing their experiences with them.

Jamie's got a gun...

Took a couple photos before I tore Jamie's bike down for finish. He's recently been stocking up his garage with some goods like a tig and a lathe.  Who knows, maybe I'll have him build me a bike next time.
