AJ is bat-shit crazy (hollow Earth, lizard people, apocalypse) but he’s one of my best friends here in Texas and one of the only people I ride FGFS with. So I listen to his needs. Like when he asked why I never took his portrait with his Milwaukee Bruiser 2.0 29’r prototype. Granted, he asked me months ago but while we were riding downtown yesterday, the light was perfect so after he finished up his line, I pulled him aside and asked him to be serious for a second.

You gotta love those awkward moments when you put someone in front of a camera lens. More on this tomorrow.
