I had thought of that very theme as there is both a cruiser (Jeanne being the resident "biker babe" ) and 2 BMW's (one co-owned, and one mine, though I pilot both with Jeanne as an occational passenger) living in my garage. they seem to get along very well together and enjoy each others company on the road.Yes the pride of Milwaukee and the Black Forest can live together in harmony. Here they are nuzzled up against one another in my driveway. In the garage they are well behaved and I hardly ever have to seperate them! Although the Ultra is a little jealous of the electric windshield, and the RT of the HD's Chrome. Sibling rivalry, what are you going to do?

Awesome shot--can't say much more than that. Very nice work. Another super week (so far).
Thanks, Ben!
I liked your BW compositions this week. Did you remove the color at the camera, when you cropped them, or are you shooting with film?

Alex, thanks. I shot those with a Canon G7 set to BW in the effects menu. I have a G9 and G7, and although it's super easy to make a change in menu setting, I keep the G7 on BW and the G9 color. It's too easy to see the world only in color, when some subjects just beg for a monochromatic treatment. This way I don't forget to shoot B&W as well as color (a complicated solution, I know ).
Youre right. I do think in B&W sometimes, but not as much as I did when I also used my fathers old Exakta. Thats real photography; no autofocus, no light meter, and I would borrow time in the darkroom from a good friend of mine at school
We were actually talking about it at dinner last night. My daughter (10) had no concept of film photography  shes only known digital
Maybe IÔÇÖll clean the old guy up and take him out for a run some weekend. (the camera, not my father)

Hey I remember those, my dad had one too, got it waaaaaay back, when we were living in Germany, its that one of (if not the first) SLR's (?) The one I got from my dad no longer works but considering where it has traveled over the years I quess its not too surprising. I remember him taking tons of photos with it, lost of sides, many of which my Sister and I still have. Once I got into photography as a youngster I sort of took it over. (I think my Dad was happy to be relieved of the task on having to "Take a picture of that, Oh and that Too, and that over there!" at my Mom's instistance!) Lots of good memories surrounding that old camera....
