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 keep 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.
