Custom Bike with WWII Pinup Art

You never know when opportunities will arise. I was driving by the Destin airport today when I noticed the more than usual Warbird planes landing. There’s always three or four flying around Destin. Today however I noticed twenty or so Trainer Warbirds lined up on the runway. I decided to stop and see what was happening.

The planes were in town offering rides for donations and several people were just hanging out checking out the warbirds. I grabbed my camera to get a few quick shots.

While shooting a gentleman approached me and asked if I would shoot some pictures of his motorcycle. He said he was a custom bike builder and just sold his latest bike that had a WWII plane theme. It even had WWII pinup nose art on the gas tank. He brought it to the airport to get some photographs in front of the WWII planes. Hey when opportunity knocks, take it, and it seemed like it would be a fun shoot. So, for the next half hour we hung out around the old WWII Warbirds shooting a really cool custom motorcycle.

If you are in the market for a custom bike, I’ll hook you up!

Moral of the story, you never know when you’ll get a really fun shoot.
