Destination Unknown

20 years ago, I started a second career as a motorcycle journalist, and I’ve been lucky enough to see many of the beautiful places in the world and publishing stories and photos of my adventures.

  • Man I love New York, just the pure unadulterated energy of the place. It just hums with life, with hope, with heartache and with dreams. If I lived there I’d shoot the street out of it. Just so much to look at, so much eye candy. There’s nothing quite like it. Alas, I don’t get…


  • The Q is almost always with me this days, ready to snap at a moment’s notice. When wandering NYC, those moments often come fast and furiously, snap snap snap.


  • NYC with the Pentax K-01


  • Well that’s it, more or less, from the American Photo Model Shoot in NYC – www.americanphotomag.com/modelshoot/photo_contest/65/abou….
