Notables
Oliver Peck is an amazing Tattoo artist, promoter, and all-around entrepreneur that is one of the most interesting characters I’ve ever met!
Oliver PeckKalen Thorien may make a living as an influencer, but she presents herself more honestly and directly than I have seen anyone else in that realm do. She is passionate about riding and living a life of adventure…
Danger Dan by any standard can be considered Wild and Untamed. He is one of the most fun loving people you’ll ever ride with, and he’ll help take any adventure over the top.

Majik Mike Rabideau Red 79’ Shovelhead
Majik Mike has been building beautiful bikes for years, but really stepped it up these last few years after he quit his day job and focused all his time on custom motorcycles.
We photographed Paul Yaffe’s custom BMW R-18 on location in Arizona just before it headed to Europe where BMW unveiled it at Motor Bike Expo in Verona. I recently photographed Paul riding the bike around Sturgis, so look for these photos coming soon.

It’s been another great year at the TMMR (Tennessee Motorcycles and Music Revival) at Loretta Lynn’s Ranch. I’ve shot this for several years now, and it’s a great, characterful event with awesome music on multiple stages and a chill atmosphere. With great riding, racing, a river to cool down in, the BC Moto Invitational Show, and lots more, so be sure to check it out and come down next May
