Excerpts from a road trip through the Mount Rushmore state en route to Sturgis. Sent out out for @indianmotorcycle we had free reign of routes but most were dictated by avoiding or ducking the storm showers chasing us. @mogran was either flying thru the unreal scenery or getting distracted by the mountain ranges or wildlife on the side of the roads. Story Featured in the latest @indianmotorcycle magazine Big thanks to @indianmotorcycle @the_simple_machine @mogran For making it all happen

Moto Shop Studio days with the gents over @lehangar23 releasing a perfect line of functional workwear that is built to last. Always a great time shooting friends and if I’m gonna be honest @nikspencer tells me these are the coolest pants and jackets I currently own. #maniyarb67 #portra400

Golden evening surf at Doheny ended with @gteeeee walking in from the waves dragging his board behind him as 4 nuns were praying at sunset on waters edge. It looked like a scene out of a weird old conquistador film flipped upon its head. I was getting out of the water too and had nothing to shoot it with. Luckily I had just picked up a Fuji gs645w and had put a test roll in it in the car. I ran back grabbed the camera and these lovely nuns were kind enough to let us test out the camera. GT did what GT does of course hhahahaa. #fujigs645w #cinestill800t

Having the opportunity to shoot @christopheloiron of @misterfreedomstore for @mensfilemagazine was a huge honor. But even better was spending the time with him to hear his story on the clothing, the shop and his ethos behind making heritage pieces. Items that are not meant to be replaced like most things in our society of planned obsolescence. He has a deep commitment to making clothes that will last a lifetime. He is an earnest man and it was a pleasure working on these portraits with him. #mamiyarb67 #pentax645nii #leicam3 #portra400 #tmax400

Amidst the sprawling high desert range, tucked away between three tumbleweeds, one power pole, a stack of broken dirt bikes, coors light mountain, and a frequently painted pool you can find a surfboard shaping shack in the middle of nowhere. Between beers and a few tools of the trade lives Legendary surfboard shaper and desert rat @minchintonsurfboards Shot here for the latest issue @mensfilemagazine wearing @misterfreedomstore @whitesboots @madson @freenotecloth Call me crazy but I’d still rather slog a heavy piece of film machinery into the hot desert sun and make it all come together every time over sitting at a desk doing ai prompts.
