People Watching at Thunder Run 2012
Most everyone enjoys “people watching”. You go to the fair or the beach or the mall, sit back, and just watch people as they drift past, busy living their lives while you observe a small slice of their world. I decided to capture this experience with my lens at the recent Thunder Run 2012 motorcycle [...]
Biker Portraits at Oklahoma City Thunder Run
I worked in one of my OKC commercial photography customers booth at the Oklahoma City Thunder Run motorcycle rally this past weekend capturing “biker portraits”. I set up a white backdrop and a single small flash for fill, and captured images of bikers as they strolled through the event. Most bikers are loathe to have [...]
Drag Racing Parts
This weekend I photographed a couple of parts in the studio for Tombo Racing. These highly reflective objects are very difficult to photograph since they reflect everything in the studio. For this Hays racing clutch component, I hung the object on a piece of safety wire inside a white shooting tent. I used a black [...]
Personal Work – Motorcycle Camping
After planning my personal project and gathering the necessary supplies and assistants and scouting a location, we converged on Lake Thunderbird near Norman, Oklahoma on Thursday evening. It was HOT – about 104 where we were at and even hotter in some locations around Oklahoma. I had two volunteers/friends there to help with setting up [...]
Brass Ball “Brawler”
Dar Holdsworth, CEO of Darwin Motorcyles, recently won second place at Sturgis with his latest creation, the Brass Balls Brawler. It is the performance version of their wildly popular Bobber motorcycle. He was invited to show the bike in The Ultimate Motorcycle magazine, formerly known as Robb Report Motorcycles. So he brought it into our [...]
Continental Divide Ride
I recently traveled to Oregon for the BMW MOA rally in Redmond. Afterwards I was invited to join Jim Hyde and the Rawhyde crew on their Continental Divide off-road motorcycle ride. I had not planned for this but decided to jump at the opportunity anyway. Jim hosts a week long ride for his customers. The [...]
Dustin Dominguez
Eighteen year old Dustin Dominguez of Newalla is an up and coming force in CMRA and national level road racing. His father was a fast racer in his own right, and has passed this love of speed to his son. I had an assignment to photograph Dustin at Hallett Raceway during track day. House of [...]
Women and Harleys
I did this photo for an assignment in Ride Oklahoma Magazine about women who ride. We wanted to break the stereotype of “biker chicks” and show a more realistic setting, two women out for a Sunday ride. We shot this in front of Bill Dragoo’s rustic barn in Norman, with his wife Susan Dragoo to [...]
Barnett’s Oct/Nov 2009
My images of Darwin Motorcycle’s Brass Ball Bobbers was published on the cover and in a feature spread in the October/November issue of Barnett’s Magazine, a nationwide publication about custom motorcycles. Marissa Montgomery was the model and as usual, she looked fabulous.
Monte Franks’ Chopper
I think this is one of the coolest choppers I have photographed. AM professional supermoto racer Monte Franks had this built by Tony Baustert with T-Fab Metal Fabricators. The bike is a mix of chopper, dirt bike and supermoto bike. It has a knobby 21″ front tire, the forks off a Hyabusa, dirt bike handlebars [...]
