Description
I was looking at my photos late night and i saw this and thought. "Here a man that wish to be in a gang and he have to do what they say and hang out for a year before they vote him in" That is what most gangs do even if it a good group of people that just like to ride and have good clean fun. I hear some exceptions at times even in the 1% group[means the bad bikers that is bad to the bone]. I knew one guy that beat up three Hell's Angels and two other bikers at the same time on the street. he put them in the hostipe and he was there too. When he saw they put one of the bikers in the same room he was in he jump up and beat him again. The president of the hell's Angels and two others came into his room the next day and pulled out a sawoff shotgun and say "You join us or die." He join. Then Matt Goober[most likely i misspelled his name]after a few years finded Jesus and got out of the group. He in Mississippe running a home for the children that no one can do any thing for[real bad teens]. I saw him live and read his book.
I thought of this as I looked at this photo. I know you see diff and that good. That what art is about too.
maybe you think if you get a Tiger by the tail you best let go and run.
Thanks foor looking and comments

That Tiger was there on the wall and I never saw him intill i saw this phot.
The good, the bad and the Saintly ? tough way of joining a gang, always been a loner, so I guess my gang (me) should be called 'the One' ! hehe Kool light and scenery contrasts. well done Jock ! ~Cheers~ :o)

Wonderful capture, Jocko!
Perfect story line for this shot. How do you do that?
I just looked and saw the chop image of this I was going to upload lol. It would be tighter with the tiger and the man in it. lol I leave this up as is . Just make it big and crop it yourself in the right-center of the blown up image. thanks I leave this for you still get the meaning of what i say and more too.
So many spend a lifetime feeling on the outside looking in. Some are happy about it, others sad. Love your photo. I also love the above ground crypts here. I like that about the old cemeteries in the south. We had them in the old Galveston cemetery too.
Great capture and interesting info.
Oh i did ask that man if I can take photos and he say "Yes"
wow that is very beatiful image!!!:)
I love tigers (Wild animals in their own place) , I hate violence and how men can use symbols such as any strong animals , but I really appreciate your words and how you share , well, just what is life and humankind with us, for this....Thanks Jocko.... Always so deep things when you post .....
EXCELLENT CAPTURE !!!!!
I used to ride a Harley and never had the desire to join a club/gang. I like your narrative/photo. A touch of real life for some. ;-)
Gophers...until they are full fledged. Very cool shot! (:
Great shot and even better story, I love the way you weave your tales into all your pix, makes them come alive!!!
Great image but an even greater tribute to how good can overcome even the "bad to the bone."
Superb writeup on your most excellent photo! Thought provoking for sure! ;)
Good POV on this capture but the motorcycles are lost in the shadows, Jock. I assume that's a cemetery in the background, which would be an ironic setting vis-a-vis the bikes.
Very cool shot..thanks for the info! :)
Fine photo and writeup Jocko!!!
but some times when your done all you have left is the tail!!
Nice stories and a nice series..now let's go ride..:)
Very fascinating what you wright about these gangs. Great photo of a stand by bikes and a resting stones.
Wonderful capture in this serie !!! God bless all the bikers !!!
A wonderful biker scene you have captured here! God bless the bikers!!!
Very nice story and photo work!
I read Sonny Barger's book because his father like my first boss in California was from Stockton. My cousin's husband was a fomrer policeman from Kansas City who liked to act out the rituals of the president's of the MC in Rochester NY while his wife (my cousin) witnessed to the topless women inside the clubs. He still has a Christian bookstore in Geneva, NY. She has been gone since a rainy night in October 1985. The last time I was with her I set a penny on her Franklin stove and waited until it turned black. We talked about art I had made in Washington, DC with the raucous crayons available there.
This serie is wonderfull Jock!
A excellent shot and very beautiful natural lighting effects.....!!!
