A Meeting of Dervishes With Fixed Gears

My photo essay finally published in today’s Metropolitan section of The New York Times. Online at nytimes.com there is an audio slideshow with many more pictures as well.

I started hanging out and shooting at Peel Sessions, which takes place every Thursday night under the BQE, last summer. Eventually as my photographs and the ‘sport’ of fixed-gear freestyle progressed I thought it deserved to be put out there. There’s probably hundreds of blogs now about fixed gears and trick riding but there hasn’t been anything in the mainstream media about this extraordinarily evolving sport. Now that everyone is over the ‘fixie’ fad and reporting on how its this crazy hip subculture we can move on to something interesting. I have to thank John and all the other regulars at Peel for their hospitality. Check it out.
