Mentors

The following is a list  links that I have compiled. From friends and mentors who I have admired their work. Enjoy their images and help support them.

Ken Sklute a master photographer. From his Wedding images to NHRA drag cars images simply the best. His work with light just amazes me. His passion shows with every image. He has received awards from coast to coast. He now is a spokesperson for Canon cameras and when not photographing at a NHRA Drag Strip he's doing lectures all over the United States. If you can get the chance to work with him or hear him do it .

 Sara Liberte her passion for the combination of machine and the human body is unmatched. I had the pleasure of meeting her this past summer and she was so down to earth. Her vision of art is refreshing. One thing as an artist you hope you can get a style, a signature so that when you look at their work you know who did it. Today with so many photographers it's almost impossible to be different and reconized, when you see Sara's work you know it's A "Sara Liberte". She also knows her way around a bike, She has no trouble getting her hands dirty. She also wrote a book on Motorcycle Repairs on sale now.

In motorcycle magazines I found these advertising pages for Indian Larry Legacy and they were so amazing. I could see the feeling he put in the image They were done by Timothy White.  Also thru the years I saw all these images of Indian Larry and they were also done by Timothy White. I thought he was just a motorcycle photographer. Last year I also had the pleasure of meeting him and I also went to his studio and found out he is one of Hollywood’s top photographers. Everybody has seen his work. It's on movie posters, billboards ,magazines, back of buses, etc. He's the kind of person who made me feel like I also was somebody. He was a good friend of Indian Larry. Right now in book stores he has a Book of images of his friend Indian Larry and bikes he built. Great Book  Great Guy   

I introduce you to my friend from Dallas, Texas. QC Cong He’s another amazing photographer. I meet him at the 1st Indian Larry memorial. We were both covering the event and we worked together like a glove. Then I got to see his images on his site. Wow. He's an amazing event photographer, He covered motorcycle events for years but now he's gone to Weddings and has proving to be just as amazing.   

Mike Pugliese Winner of one of the original Discovery Biker Buildoff's. No he's not a photographer he is an artist with a great eye for beauty.  A home builder from Staten Island, NY with a passion and a talent for building unique motorcycles.  His one off designs make him a master builder. He’s won top 10 motorcycles ever build from Easyriders Magazines and Now with his latest bike he has won Easyrider Bike of the year. He’s won the Rat Hole show in Daytona a record 3 times in a row. With all this he’s still a regular nice guy.

The Grandfather of motorcycle photography. From the first time I meet him he took time to explain each photo he had on display, What was happening, what kind of a day, what time. He shoots everything for a reason. He's Easyriders oldest and top photographer. I guess he's the Annie Leibovitz of motorcycle photography. He's been there ,done that. I'm happy to know him. Like the other people I've picked they just want to shoot. I have a lot of years to catch up to him. Its too bad I'm so old
