Photographed this scene in front of H & M at Avenue K. Somehow, it reminded me of some images I saw in a book at Kinokuniya earlier. The Big Apple of the 60s or 70s; expansive neon lights and brisk walking.

What is a Harley event without some gruff men with chains and tattoos? And behind those shades and leather, are some nice and sweet guys, as always.
Photography Tip: If you have the guts to push an ultra-wide angle lens very close, it will yield interesting results. Because it is so wide, people usually take the safe approach and take in everything from afar. I use it near to isolate and to add drama to candid portraits. Up-close and personal, it allowed me to capture the character, personality and mood, in this instance.
