Scott Di Lalla's Triumph

Drove down to Venice today after work to meet with Scott Di Lalla.  I had been wanting to shoot his Triumph for awhile now so we finally had a chance to hook up.  Scott and his partner are the guys behind the Choppertown series of DVD's.  Check out their online store at: www.choppertown.com.  Scott and I plan to meet for lunch next week and I will get the specs and story behind this bike.  I plan to work on the Rene from Dago's Speed Shop stuff this weekend so I should have new pics and story to post up on Monday.

Thanks again Scott for today.

VBS.TV

Got a email from Rory at Vice Magazine about a video they did with pro surfer Brad Gerlach and surfboard shaper Chris Christensen.  They did a little motorcycle/surf road trip up and down the craggy Northeast Coast.

Go here to see the video.

Dago's Speed Shop

Had the pleasure to meet Rene Astengo of Dago's Speed Shop in Whittier today.  He was kind enough to let me shoot his 78' Shovelhead and the Badass Sporty that he and his nephew had built together.  I will be posting pics of both bikes and a little interview I did with Rene.  Stay tuned.

Andrew Quinones

On our trip up to Salinas to shoot with Cole I had the pleasure to meet Andrew Quinones.  He  has been working with Cole for a little while now.  During the shoots Andrew helped out quite a bit so I was able to keep shooting with Cole.  Andrew is working on a pretty cool Shovelhead and I look forward to being able to get shots of it to present to you the viewers.  Thanks Andrew for all your help.  For more on Andrew check him out on the Salinas Boys website.  www.salinasboys.com

Scooter McRad Pt 4

I've been busy for awhile and I haven't been able to get out and shoot stuff.  It was great to get out and break out the camera and concentrate on some shots.  It's like batting practice.  Gotta get out and hit some balls once in awhile to keep you sharp.  Thank you Scott for letting me come down and hang out and shoot photos while you worked.  

Scooter McRad Pt 3

Final series of shots tomorrow.

Scooter McRad Pt 2

Tune in tomorrow for more shots.
