an old friend of mine asked back in winter to help him with some shots of his chopper. it was a life dream of his to get into some biker mags. he even arranged the obligatory bikini model.
we met after work at a biker bar south of raleigh. i shot some pool, had a beer or two, hung out with the owner and his minature doberman Spike while i waited.
once my friend showed up, we rolled down to a nearby lake for some shots - the bikini model was stuck at work.
we got a couple test shots in that afternoon, and we'll do the real set next tuesday.
this was up in the same location as the underwater search team on the 12th and they were still searching the river and bank yesterday looking for a weapon i can only think of a stabbing or street robbery or both on bath cycle track more photos like this on
Hey Max, let's start maintenance work!
In an old garage a mechanic is working on a chopper motorcycle for maintenance. The faithful red cat Max look at him curiously, radio tuned on classics, sounds blues songs.
I have still inserted a couple of Modulex bricks as small parts boxes.
The wooden walls of the garage are built with a technique shared by Ralf Langer, thanks and credits to him!

During COVID, Like so many others, I've turned inward, so, a metal sculpture in our living room, we named "Chopper", got a new, menacing look.
Next in line and what I think is the best of the bikes I've made. A big custom chopper that I like to imagine is electric because those Nexo 'bot shoulders make me think of a battery more than an ICE engine.

Meet Chopper, my friend's new colt who was 5 days old when this image was made. One of the great themes of Easter is new life, so this is my offering to remind us that Christ died and arose so that we can have new life in Him.
I am not very skilled in animal photography, especially horses who run the minute you approach them with a camera. I am going to "study up" and go back and try again. I would have preferred to not have his legs cropped off, but I wasn't fast enough on the trigger! I think this image does show his magnificent musculature even at this tender age. By the way, he is a quarter horse and will be used to run barrels by his 50+ yr.-old owner, who has done this all her life and can't get enough of it even now.
