Bikes and Beer

Well that got your attention, didn’t it? Our Los Angeles photographer (and now part-time in Cooperstown, NY – yes, the home of the Baseball Hall of Fame) Eric Hameister has increasingly been combining his passions for high-end motorcycles, beer, and photography.

To start, Eric was heavily featured on a Speed Network television show, “Super Bikes” with host Jason Britton:

And his action and lifestyle still-images were the focus of a tv ad for Yamaha:

And what about beer, you may ask? If you’re in the know about high-end belgian-style american microbrews, Ommegang probably has crossed your lips. And Eric shot some nice still life work for them:

Eric’s background in more traditional automotive advertising work has led him to these pursuits, partially because he rides a motorcycle himself, and also wanted to apply his still life work to smaller objects than cars. You should check out more on his site and his blog. I can’t resist: here’s another bike image:

And if you don’t see a post before then, we hope you have a nice Thanksgiving! Perhaps filled with good ale and a brisk ride on some windy back roads (not in that combination, of course)?
