So I finally commuted to work.

I had a pretty good scare about 3 miles into my ride when I looked back and saw nothing on the deck. I hadn't tightened my camera bad down tight enough and it slid off the side. Luckily the straps held, so it was just hanging on the side of the bike!

Halfway there.

I wasn't sure how the couple would take me showing up on a bike, turns out I had nothing to worry about. Everybody loves this thing :)

I love my Xtracycle. I get all the women with it.

Well...actually...I don't.

I do manage to carry all my firedancing equipment with it!

What do you do, BAH?

A perfect place to mount one of the hydrogen peroxide/kerosene rocket motors a German used recently to set a bicycle speed record. And a good way to discourage tailgating vehicles :D .

haha, not a fan eh?? :D The above shots, no. they were just for fun on the way to and after the shoot. The photography I get paid for is here http://www.derekpearson.com


Ken and MacG :D


Yossarian. Yeah I lowered it, it was way to short for him, but I didn't want there to be any complications getting on or off :)


Max a mill nah nothing like that. weddings, kids and music are my main gigs but I get the occasional product, fashion, car or sports gig as well.

Most dudes are interested in the music and sports bit :)

Great shot! Went to high school with him and Mike - both nice guys. GD has gotten stellar but they're still sellouts. :D

Now The Mr. T Experience.... that was a great group!

I am stunned, friend...just stunned!

Beautiful pics. How much correction do you perform in photo programs?
For the GD guy...You're so funny...sellouts. My God, what is Rancid? I bet you jerked it to them at some point. You know what? If you had a band that became popular, and had the chance to become insanely rich....I'm pretty sure you would take it.

Yeah, you're right. :P
Don't worry though - still got love for them.

Last time I talked to Mike, it was at Denny's after their show with SamIAm headlined by Mr. T. The funny thing is that he told me they were going to get a record contract soon. Who knew?
