Film: Out of Nothing

The magic of Bonneville Salt Flats and land speed racing there is mentioned often around these parts. During my 2012 trip to the BUB speed trials and Bonneville, I had the good fortune to meet a very talented photographer and videographer, Chad DeRosa. He and I both had the same mission- capture the magic of the salt flats and Sodium Distortion race team. Our end vision however was very different- he was filming for “Out of Nothing,” an epic tale of four men forging land speed records. 

Over the coming weeks I’ll be sharing more photos by the amazing motolady Lanakila MacNaughton from her project the Women’s Moto Exhibit

The photos above feature the lovely Kiersa Carthart (aka KC) from California. All of the ladies Lana shoots are actual riders.

“Further”, a short film by Edwin Denim Co. & Kingdom of Kicks, covers the joys of motorcycling with friends. As often it begins with vintage bikes, some wrenching is done before heading out to the beach and back.

The work of Redding, CA based photographer Garrett Meyers speaks volumes with silence.

As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. This may be true, but one has to believe that those thousand words are composed much more clearly and with much more verbose descriptions by photographers with heavy talent as opposed to hobbyists who lack the je ne sais quoi the it takes to create captivating images. Go browse through Garrett’s portfolio (website / tumblr) and prepare to feel a sense of oneness with his subjects.

The One Motorcycle Show 2013

It seems like Portland’s weather was on it’s best behavior for the weekend of the One Motorcycle Show (Feb 8/9/10)- giving everyone (even fair weather riders) a chance to pull their bikes off the tenders, give ‘em a wash and ride them in to the show.

Four years in a row now the One Show has attracted a variety of attendees. As it’s progressed the reach has stretched beyond motorcyclists to include designers, artists, and those who appreciate looking at pretty things. Which is basically everyone, right? Thor Drake has developed an inviting and evolving culture within Portland which can not only be seen in the One Show but also See See Coffee & Motorcycles, one of the main moto hubs in Portland. 

The second year of the 1 motorcycle show was inside a somewhat gutted two-level industrial warehouse. While Pabst flew out of the coolers and burn outs were a-plenty… it was dimly lit and fell short of the glory that has been achieved this year and last. An estimated 10+ thousand people attended over a three day period. Shows like this usually gather steam over the course of five or ten years, while the One Motorcycle Show managed it almost immediately. 

Prepare for an onslaught of photos. There are even more on facebook. I had my camera on my hip pretty much all day Friday, Saturday, and for most of Sunday even during clean up. This is literally going to be the longest blog post I’ve ever done. So go take a potty break, get a bag of crisps or whathaveyou, because this is going to be a doozie. 

My favorite photo from the entire weekend- Todd Blubaugh and his chopper. Photograph by yours truly.
