Fire and Iron

As I've mentioned before, I'm a BIG sister for Big Brothers/Big Sisters. I also happen to be a board member for the same great organization. (I love what this group stands for!!) Anyway, there's a cool fundraiser coming up where bikers participate in a poker run and end up at the Harley place for a big ol' steak dinner.

Now, on to the pictures. To help get the word out, these two firefighters offered to pose on their rockin' bikes for some promotional photos. For these here, Dac just played with some different editing styles.

Speaking of Dac...


One sweet ride...


Another sweet ride...




This bike recently won the "most/best chrome" award. No kidding?


Before we go on, you must no that I just think firemen are the coolest. The job they do for all of us is ridiculously honorable and I'm very thankful for them putting their lives on the line every day (and for their wives for letting them). Another reason I think they are so cool is because in my senior year of college, I was in my apartment (that I shared with two awesome roomies) alone. It was the middle of the afternoon and it was COLD outside. So, I turned on our heater. It wasn't long before the house reeked of smoke and the alarms were a'buzzing. So, in my manly comfy pants, I head outside and call 911. Within a couple minutes three huge fire trucks pull up. About that time it dawns on me... I just turned the heater on and that is no doubt the problem. I was HUMILIATED! I told them right away how sorry I was and that I hated to waste their time. (by this time a zillion people from the apartment complex were staring at me.) Anyway, the guys were super nice and one guy said he did the same thing the week before. Now, I'm not stupid enough to believe that was true but I did appreciate the effort he put out to make me feel a little less embarrased. =) To wrap up an incredibly long, pointless story... they were nice to me so that makes them cool!

These guys were no exception.





While this guy's not a firefighter, he is still VERY cool. =) He's our fund development girl's husband.


We had such a great time doing this shoot and can't wait to shoot some more during the actual event in October!
