Bang Bang

The actor Ryan Phillipe with his black Bonneville.

Taylor Kitsch aboard an ebony Bonnie too; with camera. The link?

They both star in the film 'The Bang Bang Club' about a group of photojournalists in South Africa during the demise of apartheid; a period on unrest, violence and their pursuit to stand witness to it for the world.

Kevin Carter

The savage and iconic picture that Kevin Carter took in 1994 that gained him a Pulitzer Prize; A starving Sudanese child slumped in the sun while a vulture looks on. Sadly he took his life a few months after that unable to take the horrific images he'd wintessed from famine and war zones.

The Welsh band Manic Street Preachers had a song 'Kevin Carter' from their award winning 1996 album: "Everything Must Go".

...another hit of theirs is 'Motorcycle Emptiness' a great early nineties rebel song from their debut album 'Generation Terrorists'.  Inspired by SE Hinton's book 'Rumble Fish' it was made into a cult youth/counter culture film by Francis Ford Coppola starring Mickey Rourke and Matt Dillon.

That's one point to Slytherin!

You can keep yer Nimbus 2000! Get on yer bike and ride! This here's Tom Felton; known to folk as the sly bleach headed young Draco Malfoy. Good black & white photography with a 60's look to it: looks like 'es ready to ride down Carnaby Street.

Foursome Triumph ....

Scrambler; Thruxton, Speed Triple and a Bonneville: what beautiful models to admire.

Cafe Racer Gal

The fun of two wheels on the open road epitomized.

The Time by Triumph will be Bike O'Clock precisely.

Single Point Perspective

A lovely shot of a late 60's BSA Lightning A65. Evening sun at a low angle gives warm light; a road beyond beckons. Well framed image with a converging line drawing your eye to the machine.

Vintage Bike, Happy Couple, Timeless Smiles...

This is just a real nice photo.

Under the Blue Sky

I enjoy looking at the various ways riding is captured with the image; one simple one is the ride-along shot. Here it's taken with a little more angled cropping to achieve a dynamic view, effective with great early 70's Triumph and bubble visored rider who is obviously intent on the open road ahead. Just need to find myself a photographer as well as driver to go alongside me to get some similar shots...
