I have been fortunate to learn a lot from Bobby over the years! He is one of those photographers who knows how to bring people out of their shells. He captures the essence of bike events as well as the rugged beauty of bikes, often featuring a stunning woman draped across one.

Josh has been a tremendous source of inspiration for me ever since I watched "21 Days Under the Sky" in 2016. His photography motivated me to start taking pictures years ago. I had the opportunity to meet up with Josh in Milwaukee, where we cruised the city, and I had the privilege of photographing him. Josh is a staff photographer for Harley Davidson, and in this episode, we delve into his experiences both on a motorcycle and behind the lens.
