Beautiful Downtown Boulder

If you haven't heard, I am starting a new long term project called January Birthday. My friend, T.B. Lussier and I are restoring a 1954 Chevy panel truck to travel roadside America and document what we see and hear. Recently I traveled to Boulder City to work on a school assignment and scout locations for the January Birthday project. I ate at Mel's Diner and found what I am looking for in my project. As I was sitting at the lunch counter I felt an energy I have been seeking. It was the smile of the waitress and the smell of the food that tripped a circuit in my brain. I could feel what it might be like to drive to a place I have never been and stumble into wonder. I could feel the inspiration build as I ate my breakfast. I can't wait to get on the road.

Stay Out Of The Deep End

I've recently fallen in with a bad crowd. I've joined a bike gang called Hammer & Cycle. We like to ride the streets of Vegas and cause mayhem. My fellow photographer Sexy Rick is to blame . He joined first then invited me on a ride one night. My girlfriend and I were hooked immediately. We try to make it to every ride and event now. This past Saturday Hammer & Cycle had its Spring Nationals. We all met up at Sunset Park and had all kinds of races. Did I mention that we all ride cruisers, low riders, and choppers? Let me tell you a drag race with dropped stretched bikes is pretty awesome to watch. Spring Nationals was a great sucess. After the park some of us went to Amanda's house for a nice little after party. Her house is amazing and lucky for us the pool was empty. Being a bike gang we had to sweep the pool and see if someone would ride it. Maybe it was all the PBR throughout the day, there was no shortage of volunteers. While shooting riders I looked up at the crowd gathered around watching the fun and saw this awesome group shot. It's a small slice of the Hammer & Cycle crew. If you see us on the road give us space. Slowly but surely we are taking over the Vegas streets.
