“Night has fallen on Bakersfield, and the Hells Angels continue to talk and drink, inside and outside the Black Board café. i made this extraordinary shot with the existing street light from the corner lamp without a tripod. I held my breath and the Leica M S fast to the handlebars of a Harley for the long exposure. To me it looks like a film set lit by the Hollywood great James Wong Howe.”
