Bike Riders, by Danny Lyon

Why?

“Documentary photography and a pure insider look at greaser biker gang culture was my dream land growing up. This book was my introduction to Danny Lyons work and I couldn't get enough.

As we learned, he infiltrated the gang without their knowledge and risked his life by publishing the work. This led me to Conversations With The Dead, Knave of Hearts and many other books of his. He introduced me to the 665 Polaroid format, and I have had a love affair with Polaroid ever since.

I also discovered his documentary films and these films, along with the films and photography of Robert Frank, inspired me to make my own documentary films. They have informed my film making style.”
