I began serious photography in the late 1970s after moving to Grants Pass, Oregon. I involved myself with clubs and individual riders throughout the Rogue River Valley, and joined the Choosey Beggars M/C, sponsored by the president of the club at that time. I moved to the San Jose, California area in the early 1980’s and continued professional photography as well as my own imagery pursuits.
I was looking through a few slides I have had these many years and decided to begin scanning them to digital, and began with the many motorcycle related images in my collection, captured back at that time.
Scanning and saving to digital file are many of my biker lifestyle experiences, and many of those I was close to then. Since I moved around several times since leaving Montana back then, I didn’t develop long lasting roots any particular place.
The images represent many that I called ‘brother’ and ‘sister’, and rode with, partied with and developed relationships with.
I am sorry I did not keep closer tabs on many of them.
My life now is pretty subdued compared to that of the 1970’s and 1980’s when I lived pretty fast and loose as a Harley riding single guy.
