Bikers, Cave Creek, Arizona, 2015

This pair of bikers motored all the way from Ohio to reach this Cave Creek, Arizona parking lot. They told us they were traveling nurses, and wear contrasting scarves on their heads that tell us what kind of motorcycle they are driving, They express contrasting emotional responses as well. I converted the image from color to black and white to remove distracting colors from the background and simplify the image.

FujiFilm X-T1
1/200s f/6.0 at 135.7mm iso500 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

I really like this picture Phil!
As always, you capture the heart of the moment
and the essence of a life...
If i had seen these two people separately on the street
it would not have come to my mind to match them and i can't really explain why.
As for their mission, this would not be the first thing that comes to mind either!
I really like the story behind this image... Merci Phil!

Thanks, Evaristo, for being the first to comment on this dual portrait. I am glad you like the way it works, contrasting two emotional responses to express the nature of a relationship.
