Josh Kurpius, Part I

One look at photographer/bike builder Josh Kurpius shots and youll see that moment when art blurs into life. Kurpius captures epic, point-of-view stills of bikers cutting through beautiful stretches of the Midwest - the kind of shots that inspire you to quit a job and hit the road.

We tracked Kurpius down to see what makes him tick, and found hes serious about riding, great with a camera and hell-bent on having a good time while doing both.

For the H.O.G. members on this site, Josh is the guest writer/photographer for the "Forty-Eight Hours in L.A" article in the Winter 2010 issue of HOG Magazine.

Check out part one of our two-part series.

I can't believe he is from Genoa. I'm from Belvidere. I have always enjoyed his photos. Small world.

Very nice work Josh. I like all your stuff. And this I know, you have a true brother in Brian.

I dig the bikes, the workshop, and the fact that you guys are customizing stuff! I know chopper guys like to laugh at the helmet thing...but ya don't wanna become the next Indian Larry. Get a helmet, something with modern padding but with vintage looks and customize it. I have 21 years riding experience, I was the first on the scene of a no helmet bike wreck (not pretty) and I've spent years working with people who have brain damage and believe me, brain damage is not macho or sexy.
