The Dirty Dozen

It was a party and I had been photographing parties for several years. At the time I was just working to add to an ongoing project. But after one night out in the forest north of the Grand Canyon I knew this would be a long-term encounter. For the next three years the Dirty Dozen was a central part of my photographic efforts. The experiences went from the rush of being among a pack of motorcycles charging down a mountain road to the subtle relationships between members and the women who travel with them. Live hard and die young is what it was about. The reality of this lifestyle turned out to be true.
