Last week we hosted Ray Gordon’s “Throttled” photography exhibit in the beautiful city of Vancouver BC.
In true COMUNE/Drop City fashion we shipped one of our refurbished 40 ft containers up to Vancouver’s Know?Show trade show and dropped it right in the convention center. Instant photography exhibit. Ray was too busy photographing old muscle cars in the dessert for an upcoming Dodge campaign to make it to the event. Luckily our Canadian distributors held down the fort and graciously hosted the exhibit.
Ray Gordon’s THROTTLED presents an intimate look at people that build and celebrate traditional hot rods and vintage motorcycles. The twenty-five or so large-scale color images tell stories of hitting the gas and having a laugh. Gordon takes us to the places where he is at home: drag strips, custom bike shops and secret forts where guys with grease under their fingernails seduce beautiful girls that know better but can’t resist the promise of danger. Way more than a peek under the hood, THROTTLED invites one and all to a way of life that’s as simple and fun as a fast ride, good friends and a couple of beers.
