Escape
After a long day, as the day slows but the head still spins, a ride on the Vespa makes a world of difference. Doesn’t matter where I go or what I see — just the sensation of movement and air flowing across skin — that changes everything.
Made this photograph two miles from my front door. I watched the sun fade and the evening deepen. Rivers of cool air crossed the low spots in the road. I forgot who I was. I didn’t care. The feel of my hand wrapped around the throttle made me feel organically connected to the machine. And I wouldn’t let go until it was dark.
It was a ride to nowhere to leave behind everything.
Sometimes shedding the noise of the day is all that matters. Riding makes it simple to achieve.
Why aren’t you riding?
