Speed Kings: At the Printer (2006)

Some behind the scenes shots of the production of my first Hot Rod & Kustom Kulture book "Speed Kings" (Gestalten Publishing) back in 2007.

 

It's a Satanic drag thing you wouldn't understand! It's not what you think it is. It's pure power, adrenaline, danger, suspense, Pin-Ups, passion and soul. Call it Rock 'n' Roll. Die Gestalten proudly present "Speed Kings", the hottest publication this summer is likely to see. "Speed Kings" presents photographs by Dirk Behlau that show the wonderful world of Drag racing. Dirk Behlaus photographs skillfully capture the primordial displays of power and high-tech, the eroticicsm of machines and the open flirtation with death and destruction. It was certainly not Jesus who built these Hotrods but dedicated people who create, drive and admire their time bombs like no-one else. Drag racing's individual brand of aesthetics fascinates an ever-growing community of fans all around the world. Drag racing is down-to-earth as well as accessible and affordable. Like we said, it's Rock 'n' Roll.
