Last weekend was the annual motorcycle show down at Brookside Motorcycle Company.
As usual Paul and the gang put out a great spread and the attendance was excellent. The lingering clouds finally coughed up some rain- but it was late in the day and everybody seemed to have a great time.

Freed of the guilt and/or cost of exposing film we snap photos much more often. Plus the fact most of us always have a camera in our pocket (sometimes mistakenly referred to as a phone) it’s rare that a slice of life passes undocumented.
Quite simply, more people are taking more pictures than ever before. Continue reading Time Capsule in My Car
