Kustom Khmer - Sophorn Sin

Sophorn and I met for the first time over 10 years ago at the Bonneville Salt Flats during Speedweek in '02, while he was working on the crew for the Jack Costella streamliner. I remember helping them out together with my buddy Robin, changing an engine of the racecar in the back of a Wendover hotel parkinglot... After that I saw Sophorn several times at El Mirage and Paso Robles, but somehow we lost touch and e-mailed maybe 3 times in several years. A couple weeks ago he heard I was coming over to L.A. and he shot me an e-mail in which he asked to shoot his bike for DicE Magazine.. I haven't done anything for DicE in years and was stoked to shoot for them again. So coming soon, my old Cambodian friend Sophorn in the coolest chopper mag around. Keep you eyes out... Sophorn is also a great artist and he told me he might be doing the cover of that issue also.

Portfolio update

It was about time, so I've been updating my portfolio a little bit over the last days... There are so many photos on my harddrive, and I couldn't even decide on which ones are good enough, and which ones aren't.. I pretty much took some random, newer and older pics out of my collection and added those. Then I threw out some others, and left some of the ones I liked, but without the shitty logo across the photo. Take a look here if you like.. Best wishes for 2013!! Hope to see you again in the new year..!

Good times as always.. Flake Kings & S-F-H living on fast food...

Lovely Panhead built by S-F-H...

Fids made it all the way from England... It's been over 10 years that I had seen this guy, and he's still going strong on the BMX. Nothing changed.... One of the funniest riders I ever met. Google S&M bikes and Fids, and you know it.......

Busy days - Random I-phone shots from this last week

Life's been quite busy lately, writing a lot of articles and editing tons of photos. On my last trip to the USA I've been shooting a lot of automotive stuff, since most of the motorcycle mags I usually work for had too many articles in stock... That's why you've seen a lot of the 911 stuff. I hope to be doing some motocross shoots soon, and there's also a few GP's coming up for me this summer which I have to cover. More auto stuff too, I'm pretty sure about that. Shooting cars is fun. With a little luck I'll be covering some choppers in France this spring & summer also. So, keep checking back. I'm sorry for the lack of updates, but every now and then I'll try to post up some neat pics. Thanks for looking! -M.
