I don't know if this is Eye Candy or Rides or Poetic. Probably all three. These photographs were taken by the shooter I most prefer to work with -- whether stills or moving pictures. Her name is Katie Bond Ford and I asked her to haul her cameras out to shoot the annual Heavy Rebel Weekend here in Winston-Salem NC, the Seat of Western Civilzation. As always, lots of greasers, psychobilly ruffians, loose _loose_ woman and oceans of Schlitz and Pabst Blue Ribbon. About half the crowd hailed from San Berdoo and thereabouts; the other half seemed to be the hillbilly ancestors of the old moonshine runners. Katie has a singluar eye and can't be dissuaded from recording her own vision. People don't turn up very often in her work -- she seems completely attuned to texture, tone, and the suggested rather than overt. A fine talent, with her own vision. She asked me to write a poem accompanying her images, but I found there was poetry aplenty in her unblinking and unflinching eye. Please enjoy.
