bringing sexy back




Tony and Sam stopped by after riding the dragon's tail. Tony got both Sam and I started on the ducati monster obsession and he puts as much work into perfecting his monster as any artist does a painting. What's really cool about monsters is that almost every one is personalized. Everything is customizable and many many hours are spent by ducati owners tweaking their bikes, somewhat to the dismay of their wives. I once explained to Reid that if I got onto anyone else's monster blindfolded I'd know right away it wasn't mine. My bike fits me like it was made for me, because I made it that way. Unlike Sam and Tony, that's where I stopped. Tony's bike is the first one, Sam's after that and my bike sits relatively dowdy, longing for a single sided swing arm, rearsets and a new exhaust like it's prettier cousins up above.

For you shooters, if you're going to shoot a vehicle or anything shiny that will produce specular reflections, you need to use a light source, bigger than the vehicle itself to get this look. In our case, it's a $14 white bed sheet on sale from target. We still had the softbox showing through though so I'm going to try ripstop nylon next.

Sorry I haven't been posting much, I've been discovering what the 23 hour work day is all about. But hey, is it really work? Just so you know, I am working on THE single of next year. Seriously. It's amazing. I didn't write it, so I can say that. Newsboys are it in 09.
