Mike's Bike

            I shot this picture about 15 years ago on an old Graflex 4x5 view camera that I bought in High school. People are always asking if the colors are real, well, Photoshop didn't even exist yet when I shot this, so the answer is yes. It was a rusty old bike that I painted with some spray cans of flourescent paint I had lying around. I shot the picture purely for my own amusement. I never would have beleived that 15 years later it would still be my most popular picture.
