Yeah, I'm hoping get published in Thunder Press Magazine. I know, I'm not exactly the biker type, but when you work in marketing, you learn to be a little bit of everything. And photographs are all about expressing the mood of the moment. I can handle that...and don't need to wear leathers and black tattoos to do it.

These are photos taken at a biker rally in Arizona. Big rally--approximately 1,400 bikers on the run. Lots of sun, lots of chrome, lots of attitude...as well as some really friendly people.

Can't wait for Sturgis, ;)
