Jay.

Jay is the person who introduced me to the bike scene. I ran into him first while out shooting with some friends. After ruining the entire first roll I shot of him and his friends, I said we'd have to try again. He invited me out another time after that, and I've been going at least once a week since. That was almost 3 months ago. I talk to and take photos of all of them all the time now. The series started with him, and he really embraces me and my work. It works. He tries whatever I throw his way so we can get the best shots.
