I'm in love
with the creative process. I
photograph and
write
about the creative expression
of others. This gives me
the
opportunity to express myself
as I represent great work
to
the
viewers who, like me, are
inspired by the efforts of
others to
create
for themselves.

,"Make sure you want it
more than the mountain of
frustration it's going to throw
at you." That's why there are a
million unfinished projects
sitting in garages around the
country. It's not easy but it's
so damn fun when it's finished.

The
ultimate freedom in life is to
be able to create. But Imagine
being able to develop a
motorcycle from the ground up,
then ride it at 100 mph on the
freeway, then share that
creation with the world. We are
so fortunate to live in a
country that affords us this
ability and even celebrates
each
accomplishment.

"Few builders go beyond
imitation to invention, to
subordinate the disparate
ingredients of a mainstream
motorcycle into a singular
vision, while blurring orthodox
notions about form and
function. O
nly a
few connoisseurs have the
economic clout to ride
home on the real deal
instead of a knock-off;
but their patronage
allows an elite coterie
of artists to reach new
milestones of creativity,
to transform an unruly
congress of chrome, oil,
rubber, pig iron, paint,
and decibels into the
high art of the low
rider. Praise the
lowered!"

Good
builders are common;
artists are rare. The
latter populate a
parallel universe in
which they become the
high priests of
horsepower,
lane-splitting
libertarians on the road
to perdition with a lust
for life and a consummate
sense of
style."

"A chopper is
1) a conceptualized, hand-made
motorcycle; 2) a convolution of
form and function; 3) a balance
of flamboyance
and minimalism; 4)
a vehicle of
self-expression; 5) getting
something wrong just right.
Taken together, that means a
chopper is an 'art
bike.'"

When I
build a bike it has to have the
"curb appeal" in the mock
up
stages. All
lines should flow. It should be
low to the ground and
look
like it's
going fast while it's standing
still!
