NYC Messengers B&W

I went out a couple of months back to shoot Kurt Boone for an ongoing project we are working on, I always keep a point n shoot on me for things I see along the way. This day ironically enough I shot a lot of messengers while at work during our journey around midtown.  

While I was working on the West Coast bankers boxes were considered "over sized" here, in NYC this would be the starting over sized. 

 Open roads make for faster delivery's which adds up to a fatter wallet.

Here is a shot of Kurt getting a job or in SF they call a run a "tag".

A lot of the job is mastering standby.

 USPS vs a NYC messenger, a very tortoise and the hare scenario.

Emi is at my house right now and just showed me this, we concluded that this is an attempt at a Emi Brown inspired bike. You be the judge...

Winter training rides in NYC black & white

The nice weather is finally here, considering we really barely had a winter I rode my ass of this winter. 

It was cold as hell this day, love the texture on this exposure. This was taken shooting the George Washington bridge heading into Jersey to ride River Road.

I was riding my Colnago C-40 a lot for a training bike.

By this time, the leaves were getting blown off by wind storms and hurricane warning's and half of River Road was shut down.

 Shawn was motivating me a lot this winter, I think at this point he was saying you have to throw it down to get up the hills, or something along those lines.



I have a bunch of film that was developed recently, you may have see some shots on my flickr  or Prolly posted a shot today! Thanks dude.

Well, it's been a while since I've posted. A lot of changes and growth have happened in the past few months. I now am proud to announce I'm a partner of King Kog in Brooklyn, www.kingkog.com. I will be posting on the Facebook page and website blog as well as here showing my work. It's been a life long goal to work for myself and a goal for the past 12 years to have a shop. I considered and was planning on opening my own shop but after many training rides and conversations we concluded to combined forces. 
While there is a lot of details and projects to plan and work out the ball is rolling in a positive direction!

Below is a build for a customer Geoardie, he has been a coal miner, a soldier in the English army soldier and now lawyer. He came into the shop after a motorcycle accident, I offered him a bottle of water to prevent brain damage and he mentioned he wanted to get a bike built. I told him to heal up and rest and come back anytime kind of never expecting to see him again. He called the next day claiming that the doctor told him I saved his life by giving him water?! Needless to say I was speechless but gave condolences and wished him a speedy recovery. He came in a week later with the frame, "just build it how you would like it set up, somewhere in between a Ferrari and a Honda!" Long story short, here is the end result of a friendship and business relationship that started from a random act of kindness and a bottle of water.

 I went with Campy, he loved and rode Campy when he was young and was used to the shifting.  I had a bunch of used bits laying around and a wheel set that would work great.

 He wanted to go with an alloy crank

Shawn pulled this from one of his bikes, this weighs in lighter than Sram Red with the Ti upgrades and ceramic pulley's.
