Each day that I am on my bike, the phrase comes to my mind like a mantra.You become part of the environment rather that moving through it in a protective, four-wheeled shell.
There is no sound insulation or climate control separating you from out there.
You become one with the stifling heat and one with the freezing cold. You become the road. The destination drifts away.

It had already past me before I realized what was going on but all the elements came together quickly in this one frame. As people look at this photo, they seem to enjoy the fact that there are people out there as unconventional as this couple appears to be.

The Harley logo is tattooed on arms, backs, tops of heads, and even sensitive areas that don’t normally see the light of day.
It is displayed like a badge of honor and is perceived as an exclusive club membership."

This then was my first morning in Sturgis. I woke up not having slept much and assessed the damages, both internally and externally. What sort of toll did the party take?
There was drag racing down the narrow pavement between the tents, there were campfires, wildness until all hours of the morning and a dreamlike recollection of police cars with lights flashing, screaming through the park in the middle of the night.

If you wanted to see Pete Hill on his Knuckle, you had to ride to Belle Fourche. It was questionable whether they would be racing on this day as the group of mostly Boulder bikers left Sturgis’ City Park campground.
Half way to the track, the skies began to clear. The rainbow appeared just as the sun made the wet pavement and prairie grasses glow. Free spirits crossed the (Great West).

They are like raw materials waiting to be abstracted into color, shape and form. Scott Jacobs and I discussed this image before he painted it as ""Fork it Over""
We talked about the qualities of the image that make it uniquely photographic and different from traditional painting, particularly the highly selective focus. He felt this would be the most challenging part of interpreting the photograph into paint.
He did a fabulous job. The painting and the photograph considered together, make me think of how photography has affected painting and painting has affected photography for more than one hundred and fifty years.
