PHOTOGRAPHER’S LOG:

Captured this one after a long night camped outside the back door of ‘Gasoline Dreams’ in downtown Broca Beach. The whole Dreadnok gang was there celebrating something that night, left the place in shambles I heard. No way I was stepping inside that place while they were inside...would’ve been wearing my camera as a hat.

Funny enough, they always ignored me if I kept my distance, even Roadpig’s pooch Rawkus. Not really sure why, never had the stones to ask. Worked for me just fine.

SIDENOTE: Fog was rolling off the water around that time...well after midnight. Made for some groovy purply halation glows where the street lights and neon bounced off of the chrome bits on their bikes.

Paul Panfalone is a Cleveland, OH based artist and toy photographer. He spent his childhood dreaming up stories using action figures in the backyard of his home in East Aurora, NY, appropriately nicknamed “Toytown”. Now as an adult (sort of), he imagines new worlds with those same figures and lives their adventures through the lens of his camera, much like he did back home, over thirty years ago.
