Photography

Biketographer is a photographer that understands the 2-wheel life.  From cruising to exploring to closed course competition.  I have raced nearly everything.

When you realize you should have your 2-wheel passion preserved as a work of art, you want a photographer that has been there and lived the 2-wheel addiction.

Biketographer is Art for the Well Wheeled.

My Story

I have always been a ‘bike nut’.  I have always been interested in photography, though I did not get serious until after I quit racing.

Most of my photography experience is underwater photography, which I enjoy.  I would enjoy it more if fish raced motorcycles.

Since I quit racing I can now afford cameras and lenses.  I hope you enjoy my work.
