the bad ass little foster pup. miss this guy

60's G&S

I've said it before, but i'm gonna try to water this blog tree more this year.

prob 20yrs ago now i found a used leica, the thing is nice, but i destroy everything and figured i ruin it. But what's the point of having the damn thing if it just sits locked. So over the last year I've been shooting more. I will share, they ain't but they mine. Just candid around the shop and what not. 

  Going to try to capture more this year along with some super8 stuff.

INCREDIBLY GRATEFUL--------thank you

 

It's about to go down....

LET ME JUST SAY THANK YOU NOW. CAPITALISM IS ROUGH THESE DAYS. IT'S HARD TO BE  PART OF THE CHOPPER CASH GRAB THAT IS HAPPENING. IAN MACKAYE STILL ANSWERS THE PHONE AT DISCHORD... I STILL PACK ALL THIS STUFF, COME UP WITH IT AND HAVE THE LOCAL PUNKERS PRINT IT, THEN DO MY NOTES BOX IT UP AND GET IT TO YOU AS QUICK AS I CAN. SO I'M SAYING THANK YOU BECAUSE I KNOW YOU ALL UNDERSTAND WHERE I AM COMING FROM.

THNAKS, MAX 

 

OK lets do the holiday stuff tomorrow sunday evening dec.18 at 6pm my time. pacific standard. I will avoid mentioning it on the gram.

 

This is the story i wrote about my ride down to born free 13

I like to read, it's good to hear peoples stories. The picture one can paint with words. I've ridden an old chopper cross country, this was not that. But it was a beautiful time in my life and i wanted to try to put some of into words. The imagery is secondary.... It's really all i had because i was pretty wrapped up in the moment. This kind of spoken word deal won't be for everyone, i get it. Just thought I'd try it because it's been on my mind. We could all be the same, or we could be ourselves.... this is a piece of me, it comes from my heart. i spent 6 months building this bike for born free, as you know most bikes get trailered to the show, i get it. It's a show bike, but i really wanted to ride my show bike to the show. I kept that in mind the whole build. I got to do a few shakedown miles, then it was time to bounce. Its only a Little over 400 miles to the show, but that's far enough for things to go wrong, happy to tell you it was all smooth..... it felt really good.
