I never thought I'd move to New Orleans to start my career in advertising. While the city was far from being a hotbed of marketing, I quickly fell in love with all its offerings and enjoyed exploring the colorful neighborhoods with my camera. This book is a compilation of photos that centers around the many offbeat and fantastic bicycles that I captured pre-Katrina. To me, these bikes were a perfect visual representation of the unique culture of the Crescent City that just wouldn't have fit so well anywhere else. I sifted through thousands of photos and found a publisher who printed their largest run ever–over 10,000 copies. Andrei Codrescu, author, poet, and NPR commentator wrote the opening. The first run sold out. But you can still find it.
