Recent Tearsheets

The last of the Isle of Man articles has come out. The January/February issue of Motorcycle Classics is on the newsstand now and has an article I wrote and photographed about traveling to the greatest race on earth.You can read it on Motorcycle Classics website.
                                                                                  

Boston Home is on the newsstand with a few photos I took at a cool local company called Marida Meridian. They design and manufacture rugs right here in Boston and Fall River. I got to get one of those Make it in Massachusetts bumper stickers I remember on cars when I was a kid.



 Here are a few outtakes I liked.....

First video

Like many photographers, I am starting to mess around with video. The footage that comes out of the 5d is amazing and I have been dying to mess around with it. Here is a video from the Isle of Man TT over the summer that I just linked some clips I shot together. These were mostly shot on a GoPro and a little on the 5d.

Isle of Man tt 2011 various footage. from Ken Richardson on Vimeo.

Also... I transferred some footage from 1993 of Dave Roper on a 1967-8 Benelli 350 GP bike doing a practice lap at the Manx GP. Take a look at Dave's blog here.



On an unrelated note. I was listening to Pandora last night and an ad I shot over the summer popped up. Cool.

Road Toad, Outboard, Fury III, and a fall motorcycle ride.


 Trip to VT in the early fall. Got to hang out with some old friends and ride around on Mez's stable of misfit motorcycles.
Got to help my Dad with his outboard.



 Trip to western Ma with friends in Joe's Plymouth. Riding in style.
Jack arranged a ride and the weather was perfect. Good for the soul. The transportation gods have been mad at me so my broken bikes stayed in the garage while Bill offered up one of his fleet for me to ride. Thanks

Busy Fall.






It's been nice and busy this fall with a little teaching and a lot of interesting projects. Here are a few. 






I got to photograph the talented Emily Scott of E. Scott Originals in Somerville for Boston Magazine. I had a nice time hanging out with her and Mayble. You should go to her store and buy stuff. Read article here.
This is an outtake from a recent shoot for Boston Home. 
 Got to shoot a feature for a vintage motorcycle magazine on a 1975 Hercules W2000 with a Wankel rotary engine. Even got to take it for a ride.(thanks Ron!) Very cool bike.

 The second article about the Indian at the IOM has been published. This one written by John Cooper and appeared in Cycle Canada. Really liked the layout and the opening spread.

Boston Home Magazine Fall issue

I had the pleasure of photographing John Matouk & Co in Fall River, MA for Boston Home magazine a few weeks back. Matouk is a family run business dating back to the 1920's. It was a rare occation in that most of the time as a photographer I feel like I show up somewhere and try to find a place that looks good to take a photo.This place was full of interesting people, and filled with equipment from automated embroidery machines to 100 year old Singer sewing machines, it was visual overload really.  Zach helped me out a lot on the shoot and we had a great time. Below is the article as it ran and some outtakes I liked. Read article here!
