PSA
Ok so this is my website. Its linked off of my socials that follow my photography in any form I so choose.
I shoot what I like. With friends. Some are aquaintances from being friends with others.
I have a circle. The center is a fucking dot. Of like 3 people. Right outside that its almost as tight but they dont know what is in my closet like the dot.
Now in the last few days there was a small moment were someone was using my location and whom I was with when shooting to play the game of upset sigificant other. Weather woman or man or gay or trans. When im with people. Or I shoot. I DO NOT GIVE INFO ON PEOPLE OUT. I DO NOT REPEAT THINGS I HEAR. WETHER I DO SO ON PURPOSE OR ACCIDENT. If you think someone is fucking around on you or you got some bs to say about someone. My DMs are ot the place. And my pages are def not the place you wanna make it known to me yoy are hawkin and playing games with someone. The situation that sparked this has been handled. It was last week so no dont everyone start inboxing me asking questions.
Going forward any shit like this. Or shit talking from someone I dont personally know will be fucking broadcast on every social platform and every inch of my page I possibly cant put out these.
Keep your bs off my steps and keep your legs closed and dicks in your pants if you do not know how to do so and do it with tact.
Fucking retarded asswipes.
Print.
So I have had my balls busted and also gotten awesome feed back on what I do with the Ai stuff . Simply put its artist style with every one having base from one of my own photos. I mess with them. I have done composite versions.
So ask ā well why you do it then Baby Billy ā. Itās simply to have my own shit so when I put CHOPPERAZZI TO PRINT ITS ALL MINE. Artwork included. Not that I have not had collab offers and I may do some but I want a cool rod or bike or both related wall hanger that can be ripped out in a true Mann style or tribute. And I will have exactly that.
Like it.
Donāt like it.
Noodle.
No noodle.
I donāt give a shit at the haters. And I appreciate those that support in words and actions. I have a solid outer circle of folks and an even solider inner circle.
Thank you.
Piggyback Rides
Itās been a very interesting year. I have had a lot going on personally. Donāt talk about it much but also most donāt bother to ask. lol itās a win win. Been shooting a lot less. And sometimes I miss it and wanna get out there. Others Iām just like whatever if I really wanted the shot I would have taken it. Lol been relaxing somewhat and getting other things done.
I have a kind of new approach to what I do in my everyday mode. I have been slowing down being a more laid back and humble person. But when it comes to my work my time and money I make and spend I have become a fuckin pit-bull. No more of the old me with that. And that doesnāt mean Iām out to make a buck. For me always being quite the opposite.
Itās more like just putting my time and energy were it is best suited. And where it gets reciprocated with honest folks that appreciate whatās being done.
Not those piggy back riding for moment because thatās when it works for them. There are all those other times where it may not have worked for them but the passion of others involved was still real and some could give a fuck. Itās about themselves and what they get out of it.
This isnāt the Kulture I signed up for. So Iām gonna be in a few less places going forward and put more time where it helps others and myself mutually.
If ya made it this far down thank ya kindly. Iām off next week Iāll be making a few rounds and hitting a few one on ones if I can make em happen.
Be real. Donāt thank anyone for using you for your hard work just because of exposure. Stay humble and be a pit-bull when working your craft. Hone your discipline. And enjoy it and donāt bend for anyone that isnāt bending for you. Those that donāt knock em the fuck over and keep going.
Peace.
Old Things.
So over last few months I have laid low. Been finishing prints and photos promised to some folks without making new promises. One person is in process of prints then im giving away all my packing stuff and dont think im doing orders any more.
The galleries will become downloadable forna small fee for anhi res file and printing will be on those that want it.
Some galleries of things I cover will have a set price and money will be going to charities designated by those i talk to. Such as the run for Justin in October.
And if i shoot the Syzmanski run again all the downloads after will goto that charity for Sean and family cause they do a great thing. Ok enough about possible happenings with camera.
Above is my sheetrock hammer. It was given to me by my uncle Stevie. He passed last January. He hired me at like 13 years old and taught me how to rock and tape. I have had this hammer almost 40 yesrs.
A few years back we had some dumb bs and didnt really talk all that much before he passed away. Normally i neve really react when someone goes. Just a cold side of me I guess.
Recently i was doing some work for my pop and had to dig my tools out. And when I pulled this hammer out of the bag and empty feeling came over me.
My uncle like me could be a stubborn mofo. And because we didnt talk for a long time it kinda hit me when i saw the damn hammer not at the wake or funeral.
Im normally not one to talk about this. But in the last week. Loosing Ozzy. Loosing Hulk Hogan. Not people i knew but folks i worshipped as a kid and always loved.
Life is way to fuckin short to fuck around. If you got friends or family or people you know reach out. Even if they fuckin piss you off. Say hey you ok. Then say fu if ya need to but at least have some interaction.
Having none is a shitty way to leave things.
So once again stop scrolling and check on your fucking friends. Call text anything. Say hello. And make sure folks are ok.
Anyways. I may not be shooting everything that comes up. Gonna start picking up my guitars again. And riding my damn mountainbike. Maybe even get upto mountain creek and downhill this summer. I will be hitting all the local shit with folks i know though. So be ready for The Syzmanski Run in sept. And Run for JO. And the Irons swap and show. And the Battleground swap and show. These are must not miss events. If you dont have info hit me on ig for the info.
Peace.
Operations.
Been a while since I posted here. Have been relaxing and getting away from normal spots I routinely shoot at. Itās been good. Also recently picked up my guitar playing again. Rusty isnāt the fucking word. lol. But with that also comes building them which I am good at. Gifting one to a friends daughter. Pretty cool big block parts caster with a Jazz-master neck on it. Iāll pop a photo in ig stories when finished.
The image above was the purchase of a new lens that kinda shoots old school tv letter boxed. Itās made more for video and the outer edges get a little distorted but it has made for some cool shots. I especially like the portraits cause it gets in close but shows a huge wide view of the back surroundings. Once again inspired by the master even though this is a whole different game.
Itās been working pretty cool and I plan on using it at a multitude of distances to achieve different looks. So far Iām loving the results. Slightly grainy in night photos but fuck it these are right out of cam Iāll take my own film look without editing. Keep your eyes peeled Iām just getting started with this.
And yes I am still fucking with my Ai shit itās fun and occupies a different time line when I need to step away from the camera but it is def sharpening my edit skills and even composition. By seeing certain things and trying to recreate them I am pointing the camera in a bunch of new ways now.
Ever since I was a wee tad shit I have loved and followed Dave Manns artwork and if I can create a few good ones of my own even if digitally generated from my own photography. So be it itās for me. If some like it and enjoy great if not. Oh well. Iām not out to make money on it. Nor would I ever cop a man print and try to make a penny from doing a peice with some aspects.
Again itās just for fun to see how far I can go. Some I have replaced bikes in them with some I shoot or friends for a good laugh and fun.
Also in the last week we Lindt a great actor. Mr. Michael Madsen. He was in a shit ton of movies I loved growing up. And was iconic as Mr. Blonde. Some think I was hacked for posting the shot of him talking to the chopped off ear and saying can ya hear me. Lolol. Fuck it loved that scene. Also as the Gent in Hellride.
You can see where Iām inspired and messing with the new gear I have been shooting with here. Wanna create images that go beyond a cinematic edit and have the whole vibe.
Anyways I gotta scoot got a bbq today. Just wanted to drop this and say hello and hope everyone had a great 4th. Tomo Iāll be out and about and then Monday rain Iāll be editing and doing stuff for print orders and some I said Iād would email. Dan and Hollywood are on top of list before all.
Thank you and God bless.
BOOMMMM
Ok so I havenāt writtien or posted here in quite some time. Alot has gone on and nothing has gone on. Aint that some shit.
Gonna dive right into the juice of the make something public. Its pride month and I am a fag.
Haha no.
I wanna take a min and openly air out my fucking attitude and apologize to a guy I know who is solid. He can be anxious in his approach. But hes a solid motherfucker. A great dad and god fearing American. So Mike im sorry for being a dickhead a few weeks ago.
A similiar apology goes out to a real solid friend that has been at my back and put the crew at my back a few times. And it means alot. So Pickle Master Kurt. Sorry for my level of assholiness. And Troy you are here in that as well. Love you dog. Even with hearts on your ride.
Last month or so I have been on a rampage of overtime on night swings into day swings into weekends. Havent been working everything but enough to screw my sleep schedule to the moon and back.
Currently sleep in 3 hour stints snd then up for 4 to 5. Because of my schedule and because of some minor health issue of being a fat lazy peice of shit.
Gotta make some changes so walking and riding more. And trying to sleep better. Eating better is hard when you flip shifts and eat at pizza places and gas stations and bodegas.
On the brighter side I have been drinking less because of the work sched. Lol.
Still a fat fuck though.
Also address. NO I did not goto Ohio. That had nothing to do with anyone except myself and what I had going on. I missed a great time, but also feel there were enough folks that do what I do there. And they did it properly. And I didnt miss seeing all the great stuff.
The real one that blows me away is the philly guys cross country riding to Born Free. They are breaking down and riding and creating an epic fucking time and I only hope one of em deceides to write something about it. And add some of the snaps they are gettin.
Ok so this goto war comment. If you havent gathered. Im at war with my own damn self. My brain is cooked overworked and in need of the vacation time I have coming up. With Strange Days. The Rumblers. And an epic party in the pines I have been invited to its gonna be a good 2 weeks plus off. It will be from June 30. Til July 15th. So if ya had something we were gonna do 1 on 1. Or want something shot. During those weeks mon to thurs is the time to snag me. Also got an invite to shoot āTheā jersey pan and im gonna take it. Need to coincide Mikey being down on same day.
Well that is it sorry if you tuned in to read the current flogging. I dont currently have one. And wont going forward as much. If I need to snap out and vent on a person or thing. It will be FACE TO FACE. MANO E MANO. and all that good shit. Love yas. Come again.
#digital_forever
Whats new folks been a while since I got on here and mispelled shit and annoyed some. I have been working alot and disconnecting a little bit. Been shooting more with folks I hang out with rather than running everywhere and shooting everyrhing and anyone. And im good this way.
No offense to anyone I just needed to take the hustle out of shooting and make it fun again or I get tired of itnand dont engage at all.
I have a new side flow for fun of Ai scripting my older photos. Some stuff is cool other stuff looks stupid. But it keeps me busy when I have downtime on the slave job.
There was some info put here and it was seen and it wasnāt intended the way I came across. It was intended to state simple information as to why certain things were and are. In no way was putting anyone on point. After a conversation I openly apologize to my friend for not being very detailed and specific so as to not seem like it was pointing at anyone.
Regardless there was some stuff posted and now you can see all the info, and you folks can do the Circuit in its fullest form. With this info given if you are unsure then just show up and have fun itās only a car show.
To those busting my balls on my Ai fun. Go fuck yourself. #digital_forever is my new hashtag on everything. Just for you lame asses. I am an artist now. Haha fucknuts can suck on deez digi balls.
Portraits
So recently I ordered up some prints that I have been dragging ass on. They will be delivered today. And others sent out in mail Tuesday. Long ago portraits were a weak point in my shooting. I looked at one I took to send to a friend and Iām like fuck I nailed it. He has an older one of similiar composition with his pups. But the new one I snapped just nailed it for me.
Now Iām my own hugest critic and I can point out a few things in the snap I should have did better. But the vibe is there and it was spot on. And as always I love seein the dogs they are the 2 happiest pups I have met to date. Pet and pit shots are another thing I have done and enjoy.
So with that said at upcoming events I want to start nailing portraits more of folks. So if you see me and itās you and the girl or man your with and want a shot say mother fucker take a pic.
For any folks doing an upcoming swap or party I have a 10 foot by 15 foot American flag that would be perfect to roll folks up in front of with or without their bikes and get some shots.
So get at me.
These riding shots are actually my favs. They can be set and achieved with even more finesse if you want them done im all in. But making a pass around a block a few times will bring desired better than expected results. I did this with Jake the shake because I had riding shots of everyone at his garage get to gather except him so I went back. And proceeded to shoot him on every one of his bikes and it was some cool shit.
to hit my own satisfaction with what I shoot on these. I would follow some who KILL IT in every way. So Iāll thank them here for teaching me and inspiring through thier work. Dean Landry first and foremost his portraiture is on top. Second is Sumner Dilworth, his stuff has a different style and flair and just catches the eye. Next is one Iāll mention only to say I was introduced to by another. Rick Gerrity. His B&W style full of detail and contrast kills it. And my homie Lutz, who introduced us. His hey shoot that and this is cool while we bullshit about saltines has changed a lot of my approach to shooting. Itās not about a fender or motor itās about then motor and person who built it. Taking it from machines to lifestyle.
So ty to all those that hang my pics or tell me how the wife loves it and has it on the wall. Or itās the screen saver. Those lil things solidify me feeling good I have reached a level on something I felt was a huge weakness in my shooting.
Jan 18 2025
So the question for some is? Photographer or content creator or poster. Do we shoot to create for an online presence? Or is it to create wonderful images and photographs. The question affects the approach and outcome of the work and affects my mood over time. I tend to wait to edit sometimes after I shoot.
Like The Race of Gentlemen. I shot and got excited to see my stuff and of course while approaching my edits I was also online. And BOOOM photo after photo after photo after photo of the same stuff. One photog whom I love his work I had to unfollow because I got tired of seeing the same edit. I reverse engineered the edit flow and was gonna post some just like it. Thatās my evil side being a dick because I get annoyed. I did not I simply edited a certain amount of phots and sent them on when required. There will def be some more at a certain point because I agreed to cover the event. And will always come through on my word.
When seeing or taking a photo puts a person in a bad mood. Itās time to set the camera down. Which I have with the exception of a few small gatherings in the past month. These were done specifically with and for friends. Which even in the mood or not Will always come through for the folks I met that I call friend.
I bring this all up because in my downtime I have come to the conclusion that if I constantly post to my IGs and this website on a regular basis. My followers jump. But sadly the flow isnāt why I take photographs. I shoot to document and share stories of the culture I love. I may not be on 2 wheels and I may not own anything fancy on 4. But im here and part of it. My work and the quality of what I document being my own style and flow and original are whatās important to me. When I see something I want to emulate I do it. If itās called copying or whatever some words have been placed on my stuff. I donāt give a fuck. In copying I am learning something in the camera or my head or my edit flow.
And some can say what they want about a few approaches to a photo I recreate or copy an idea all they want. I have scrolled quite a few accounts and see who follows me to copy tons of shit I do. And honestly if they like their photographs then fuck yeah dude.
I guess im posting this because gong forward the flow of how my work get done and shared and posted and printed isnāt going to change much. It will however be delivered to those that are part of it in a professional and quality manner. I recently did a small test in doing a shoot for a friend.
Set the time.
Drove.
Planned and set the shoot and asked if and what the shots were needed for.
Asked if anything had to be highlighted for the bike.
As usual this was just a few seconds of the conversation the rest was simply talking to my broski Mike.
This was done as far as a test simply in a sense that I tracked my time and travel and gas and all else not for anything other than to figure out what im laying out. And then got home sat down and picked the 50 best assets or shots and edited them. Logged into a site im using created his own gallery and uploaded all the images and all were print quality and high resolution. Then emailed him the link and send the passkey for him to download. All in one shot over the course of a few hours.
This is strictly how going forward my paid work is going to flow. Same day delivery of assets to customers. If prints are coming from my end they will be able to log on and tell me which they want prints of and the order process will proceed and payment will be sent to me prior to clicking print from my photo lab. No more getting stiffed for prints folks want to get and I was nice about taking one persons word and ended up shredding their photos of their 4 wheeled vehicle.
I am not a content creator even if I am good at spotting the algorithm or using the given platforms to their fullest. My work with the camera is to shoot photographs for the everyday person that they may be printed for to enjoy not to gather likes and shares on social media.
I say this because I am no longer getting in a bad mood when it comes to my camera in my hand because others are in a zone and make me not want to do what I enjoy. This isnāt just a rant me and a few of the photo nerds have chatted on it and we usually do when we are sitting with down time or talking camera nerd shit.
End result do not love to post and loose the quality and reason you do what you do with a camera and lens. Social media is shit 75% of the time. Itās got its chicken hawks and shit talking rats. And it is also something we get caught up in sharing our photos and in doing so your racing to post and not posting when the process is right. Going forward my main posts will be less. Sorties will always be a mix of old new and supporting the businesses and people I know.
The simple fact is in 2025 I am making my own algorithm. Fuck worrying about getting pushed in the mainstreams algorithm. Be unique. Be yourself. Document. Share where and when needed. And donāt be dicks to people.

Jan 12 2025 Obsessive Creativety
Woke up early today. Had the cameras packed. Batteries charged and labeled. Lenses clean. SD cards loaded, and spares in place in case that was screwed up. And trust me it happens.
The AMCA swap at motorcyclopedia was on my calendar. A swap in itself is awesome but with access to the museum COME ON! The Hudson River Riders chapter knows how to put on an event.
Then I start moving something. Cleaning up this small thing. Make coffee. Make a post cause I ran out of coffee. Which then leads to ā oh shit I gotta start getting those galleries up for the cabs n coffee dudes as I said I would.ā That leads to yes I also have stuff for WHADAFUNK sitting in front of me that I have been grilling my brain to come up with something really cool to post with it for them as a collab.
Look at the clock. Oh shit gotta move my ass and get going soon or I wont get the pile in shots at the swap. Then drink coffee. Sidetracked with my morning workout. Yes I workout now. A mix of dumbbells, chair yoga for seniors. Some of the DDP Yoga ( Diamond Dallas Page of WWE fame.) has a yoga for everyday guys so you donāt feel like a fag. Mix that with a book I purchased that is written by Charles Bronson, not the actor but the famous British prisoner. Itās called Solitary Fitness, written by a convict for you to workout with no weights and only what would be available if you were in a jail cell. And of all the stuff I dabble in it will fuckin kick your ass. Itās good. But you need the discipline to stay on it.
While all of this is going on I am not looking at the clock and the 2 hour drive I have to the swapmeet. And dont get me wrong I wanted to go. My buddies from Brooklyn and north Jerez would be there as well as the upstate crowd that I donāt get to see as much the last few years.
Also while having an ongoing chat with a close friend about some stuff on the horizon and some stuff I missed in Asbury Park last night. Which sux but itās ok.
Sadly the rat race during the week has me fried. And behind on stuff needed around my apt and groceries and a shit ton of other small things that if not done will pile up on next weeks, and what was left from last week. Shoot me nowā¦. lol
Anyway we got to chatting and he shared an upcoming project he has coming. And we spoke on something I shot already with him. And because Im my own critic. I never really liked a ton of the images I shot while I was there and the project was being built.
He agreed about being our worst enemy when you have a passion to create and want to get better and not settle. It was nice to have someone understand my frame of mind for once. Heās a solid dude and my idea to fix getting images out was simple. Load them to the computer and let his eyes, a second pair glance over everything shot and help pick out what he needs to get something going he wants to do.
At this point I came to the conclusion I was not going to the swap. Sorry to those Iāll miss there. With my luck my homey prewar comes out and Iāll curse myself later. But I need to wind down and I need to get some other things done that arenāt camera usage required.
So yes with all this going on and me being all over and not motivated im blogging. Itās my way of clearing some of my head, and getting organized if you will.
My buddy is gonna get out and check out the town for a spell and then cook a nice dinner with his family. Me I gotta go dismantle a friendās manger then check mail for mom. Then I will grocery shop put groceries away. Lay out dinner.
Then there is a chilly stretch of beach and a San Cristobal with my name on it for my Sunday walk with headphones on. Thanks again Mike the Philbilly for the smokes. These are killer.
Then Iāll come home and make a list of galleries im going to up load and reach out to some folks for them to have access to some stuff I shot. Wedding style.
The conversation was just what the doctor ordered. Itās good knowing that when your a perfectionist for your own needs and creative output youāre not frickin insane or nuts or anti social. Itās just discipline and drive. When you veer from it you beat yourself up with the what if I did more. And when you do to much you question if your pushing to hard and burning out.
FACTS.
January 7, 2025
This morning proceeding from the Bolla Mart to my work program serving my time. I posted a silly reel on IG of āmy coffee journey in the hood.ā
This was purely a joke. This term blows my mind. This opinion started developing while getting my daily dose of youtube in yesterday.
A video pops up called the tour of my truck camper and buildout. I click it and I see a guy open a tailgate on a Ford truck and proceed to point and a milk crate table, a bed made from half a sheet of plywood and a camping stove. He says ā the build took a few weeks and some thought.ā Followed by again the term ā please follow along in my truck camper journey as we make adventures together.ā
Some use this term ājourneyā when refering to a build being done. Or a life experience.
In some cases ill let it ride. I mean it has been aplied countless times to some living sober. And day to day in that life there are real moments of struggle as well as accomishment.
Or like my good friend Christo shooting photos while going from NYC to yellowstone or another amazing park or place. ( ill leave a link to him in IG stories after the post to this.)
But its like me getting off my couch and walking to my toilet. Am I going to have a journey and invite folks along for it.
Call it my fecal journey; the trials of an empty roll of tp.
Come on folks. Get with your content and bring back meaningful shit. What is happening on such a great platform like youtube and even on IG. Folks will post anything and its content. Its amazing and ooo watch and like me.
GTF out of here with that bullshit.
Sorry for this rant. 2025 is going to be me getting back to being myself again. Im tired of all the shit every person and group out there creates and if you dont acknowledge them and show them love your a big nasty hatinā machine.
Some people need to get the fuck over them selves.
Ok so after a bit of thought and wondering why I seem bitter and snappy torward certain things. My self reflection has led me to feel that when growing up in the 70s,80s,and 90s. When we were kids we saw every problem as huge. It was like this life changing circumstance. Then we would learn that shit we were dealing with in perspective to others in the world was trivial in some.
In other words id never trade my skeletons and other shit in my closet for someone elses. And we learned this at what I see as the right age.
Me personally will never use the term ā adultingā its almost a trigger word for me because its people my own age and at ages were you should be able to handle simple everyday shit. The term journey for some reason fell and will jeep falling into this groove for me.
I seem to have a problem accepting it from some around me when there are 30 to 35 year olds I interact with that act like 10 year old kids and expect to be coddled with simple everyday functions, within the workplace and people I pass on the street. And in some cases you see it in the scope of friendships as well.
This goes back to mental health. Am I a fucked up individual. Yes I am. But I have learned to function and be stable and happy 80% of the time. While also being a single dad. Working a shit job as a part of the middle class cogset that gets ridden.
My frustrations are just there. And im letting it be known from now on.
So please join me on my ājourneyā of putting the grit back into everyday life through expression in my work and in my attitude. Sorry but not sorry if I offend some. And bye to those that cant handle it. Maybe you need to stop pretending the old days were great though dress and hair style and live in the world your in today.
Fin.
Pissing in the wind.
Jan 5. 2025
So lately the online culture. The people and content has become a little stagnent. It gets a little repeatative between pages or events. Sometimes with the same photographers and vidiographers being in the forefront, styles just trickle down and everyone is doing the same thing.
Be it color tones. Black and white retro looks. Moving vehicles and people. It seems to jump around and before you know it everyone is doing the same shit.
I recently started playing with AI. Not on my photography. That has been present already since the first photo edit program came out. It is anything you didnt snap with the camera, anything you cant change by using darkroom skills to manipulate your exposures or dodge and burn enlarge ect. Hats off to those in the dark room your real.
If you scan you are using digital and that is that. Not debating the film debate again I know my shit. I dont need to debate.
The point of this one today I guess is do what makes ya happy. Also dont do what makes you happy. Dont fall into a trap of not being creative because you see others with images that some like more than your on the socials. Socials suck ass. They are a tool for the end product. And can be good for networking.
Its the point of a handshake that matters. I have tried to put a handshake to every bike or car I have ever taken a photo of. Its important to me. A cool chopper or classic pan is only as cool as getting to know who put thier touches on the bike.
I have been creative. And some of mine came from blatantly seeing another photographers photo and thinking holy shit. And wanting a shot like it.
In that moment turn your creativety cap on and start playing with your settings and create. I didnt get the exact result. And I love that more. It inspired me. My intention was a blatant goal of copying the exact composition. In doing so and playing around I found a similiar groove of my own I started having fun with.
The photo was one Dean Landry took outside Vincents Bar in Mass. And funny thing is I have had a few chats with him about it. To let him know im not ripping you off. āYou inspire me.ā is what is said. And thats what we should all be doing. Inspiring each other. Not becoming jealous over each other. Trying to be origanal while also trying to emulate something you see.
Every photog I have ever nerded out has given me something to walk away with and think on and put in the tool box that is my brain.
Every photo here today is a post directly from my drive of scans. No digital used aside from the scanning process and whatever the lab hit on it. Which now my lab does zero corrections at my request.
A bee buzzed by me lately. It was buzzing that some didnt care for my attitude, or my flow, or my approach. My lack of being able to pump out all the content I shoot. Or deliver the prints you all want but dont ever give the full info on sizes and orders and numbers. This is a very very small group.
Sadly yesterday I shredded a pile of prints. Customers didnt pay and left me hanging. Guess what. FUCK YOU.
Whats really sad is I had other people closer to me. Some that support so solid its insane. They wanted stuff and I was hunting down files and could not deliver. This is on me for lack of proper back up. It is about 90% rectified at this point.
I guess im rambling, there is no need to have weird vibes torward me. If you ever have a question ask it im human and always try to stay positive. Also there is no need to be weird if you dont want me shooting. Or showing up somewhere I see posted.
So this is out there.. if you have a beef with me call me. Donāt have my number and want it. Hit me on the dm somewhere. But dont talk shit behind my back. Its not cool. Grow up. Be happy in your own shoes. This person knows who they are. Dont be a fuckin PUSSY.
Thanks and sorry if this ramble is all over. Had to get it out. And have deceided not to backspace to be nice anymore. Im just being me.
So have a great weekend. Stay Krackin. And FT entire W. In a good way.
January 1. 2024
Feet on the floor at 7:05 a.m. on the train at 7:34. On the boat for 8:30. At Father Demo square. Nyc by 9:20.
Didnt wanna get out of bed let alone shoot. But its discipline. And 10 mins out im in the mood.
Note 1. I fucking despise riding this tin can on rails. Just 1 day id like quiet instead of all of the carts going to the free food bank up the block. But the other ones have dispersed. Prob still tweakin from last night.
To all I know here. Best wishes in 2025. I hope this place improves.
Now good vibes lets hope no missles go.off or crazy drones UFOās are waiting for the news tomo. š³
This was saved as a draft yesterday. Today we have an issue in Louisiana. An ex military vet, and Texan ran into a crowd with a pickup ( ford lightning. Ev) and sadly 15 dead and numerous hurt.
Then not confirmed as part of that a Tesla cyber truck is up in flames outside Trumpās hotel in Vegasā¦. Weird shit. Stay alert my friends.
Some Porsche Fun
Did a lil shootin for Arties 4 year anniversary on his own killin it with a shop full of various yearned 911ās.
A Pulsating Memory
So today with the rain a local car show slash toy drive was washed out. I will not lie I go to shoot. Shots of cars a bike or two, and shots snaps and portraits. I was able to salvage the day and get with a buddy in his garage and shoot his choppers. Play with his pups and bullshit all things bikes, people and life. Glad I ended up there today. It gave me a small glimpse into why a photographer like Pulsating Paula touched so many with her work. I am honored to know a few who did know her. I get to hear some of the stories shared, and see the memories they have of a good friend and how she enlightened their lives with her camera.
Iāll never in my time come close to that level but it definitely is fun getting out week after week and trying. So today I shot some choppers and I hope it commemorates 10 years in a good way.
Quick Shots from the Pumpkin Run
So every year I go I have a blast and for some reason I see an old ford in this particular color and the shots seem to come up next level because itās so killer. So enjoy. Have a Happy Thanksgiving if youāre reading this today.
The Pickle Runner
Hereās a swamp of shots of this sweet ford I have had the pleasure of watching unfold from its purchase to its current state. Kurt, Bob and rooster created some awesome shit right here.
The Panty Dropper
So just a quick post of some shots on a bike I shot in Asbury this past week. Iām posting here as a photo blog simply to get a break from socials. Tired of hashtags and likes and who wants to collab posts. Nothing to anyone I do this with. Just felt like doin my own.
