few things combine beauty with function like vehicles do.. especially the case for Motorcycles

12 Hrs of Rage into the Night - the Dying of the Light [1]

May 20, 2024 in Moto-Travel

What’s an Itinerary, Anyway

For reasons I don’t care to relive by typing, we left Florida a day & 5 hours behind schedule.
(Southwest Florida to be more specific; Sarasota was our sans-Champagne embarkation point).

We managed to dodge the worst of I-75 & I-4 traffic by the skin of our tires. Well on our way to escape Florida by nightfall.

And glad would be understating the feeling of exiting Florida. Next to the seemingly unending stretch of I-70 spanning Kansas & Colorado, Florida’s traversal is the worst strip of tarmac I will encounter over the next 10 days, all travel-related factors considered.

on THE OTHER SIDE OF LOVE

And on the other side of love.

Motorcycles are certainly engaging. Not too many things demand absolute attention & focus with greater consequences in the event of a lack of.

It’s been about 15 years now I have ridden a motorcycle, from roads to race circuits, with some of the most talented riders in the state to boot.

On another timeline I could’ve ended up a roadracer; not much beats the thrill of pushing the limits of physics lap after lap.

how very apropos

Atlanta’s metropolis unfolded before us like a handful of spilled ribbon spools, made of asphalt.

Almost there, less than an hour to go.

But the only trick we play is really on ourselves. The pretending we aren’t humans full of contradictions and illogical, emotional, complicated variables; it really is absurd.

This post marks the beginning of a new project I am calling Ultralight. These above images achieve an other-worldly look, this is done by capturing infrared light as well as normal/visible light...

Ha Pham is the model in these photos, and she is a very talented artist in the Sarasota area. Thank you to her for working with me on my first portrait/person shoot in this new experimental style. (link to Ha’s Instagram)
