Brad Ruel's Legacy

Sometimes I get an itch or request to dig into the archives and do some more work. It is always a pleasure as each of my works are handmade and they come out a little bit differently each time they are processed. Over time my style changes and my knowledge of techniques and processing are (hopefully) improving.

I received a an inquiry from family of the late Brad Ruel about some of my works on his bikes that were featured in the EasyRiders Mach 2009 issue. I did a little digging and reprocessing of some of the images I did not think were usable in the past. They are still a bit rough around the edges but so was the moment. I shoot shows in uncontrolled environments, weather, crowds positioning etc.. as it sits I shoot it and attempt to create a unique vision of that moment. These were always some of my personal favorites, beautiful rides, weather and rolling around in the dirt at the Battle Grounds in Daytona.

I am not sure if his works will make it out on the road much any more but do hope to see them again in the Daytona Area.

Godspeed Brad!
