Following Bob’s “Harley Skull”  my first thought was a shot I did a few years back.  This is the man with the most non-compliance “Helmet Tickets” in the United States of America.

He goes by the name, Red Baron.  He is an investigator for a law firm that defends people for “Helmet Tickets”.

Red is wearing a suit made of “Helmet Tickets” pink for the California Highway Patrol and yellow for San Diego Police Department.

Note the headlight, it is the death mask, the Harley Skull, the first of many modifications. He is propped up against a brand new Harley that replaced his recently stolen bike.  He normally would have had to wait months to get this bike, but things occurred that speeded that process up.  The process of replacing virtually every stock piece on the bike has begun and will take quite some time to make it his own.

Colorful guy and knows all the women that dance for a living in San Diego.

Great guy and we had a memorable night out after we made this shot!

I did this shot while in New York with a Point and Shoot camera.  I met a guy once who asked what was the best P and S camera to buy.  I did not understand since at the time I didn’t own a point and shoot.

When I asked him what he ment, he said “Push here Stupid” with a big grin, doooooh……  I get it.

I try to always carry a camera, try is the key word.  Shots like this sometimes no matter how long you wait, will not happen at the right time.

This shot is as you see it, no PhotoShop, honest.  Sure you could create something like this in a computer which I am writing on, but the fun of photography is the “moment”  and making it happen on screen is just not he same since you don’t get to experience the moment of capture.

Maybe it is just me, but as I look at all the images out there, I do have a tendency to pick’em apart.  I have pissed off a few when the flaws are pointed out.

I don’t pick the stuff apart to be mean, but where I have come from, photography is the truth at the moment, sometimes with some assistance.  When shadows don’t make sense or people are doing things just not possible, I point it out…..

My flaw.
