No Surrender

I know it's Aprils Fool today, but this entry is legit…
(there is an april fool joke for photographers at my ps2 below)

The story….. I was working when suddenly I heard a lot of noise outside and when I looked out of my window I saw a serious group of motorbikers grouping together.

So quickly grabbed my Nikon with the 180mm lens still on it and ran outside.

It appeared to be the motor club 'No Surrender' grouping together and preparing to escort a few limo's to the town hall for a marriage
(and into enemy turf as The Hells Angels reside in Haarlem as I heard later on.)

Haarlem is a medieval town with narrow streets so sound can't get away, just try to imagine the sound of all these bikes amplified ;-)) Really impressive!!

I made eye contact with one of the leaders and non verbally asked if I could shoot my stuff and got a positive nod back.

Here's my choice of the day and the rest of the B&W series can be seen on flickr

Ps. The authorities obviously didn't know what was going on and quickly arranged they would get a police escort when they left Haarlem again.

PS2. There was a nice April Fool joke from Lomography introducing a film spray which makes all camera's history. See the film here ;-)
