MASH SAN FRANCISCO PREMIERE EVENT RECAP Oct 12, 2015 Categories: alleycat, MASH, MASH Frames, News, Photo 0 Comment When we started the 10 year project, it was tuff to see the light at the end of the tunnel, being it was by far the biggest project I have worked on in my adult career. I sat with Garrett and planned a ruff map of components including a large photo/design book showing the history of MASH, a full length new movie that shows where the level of riding has progressed to, street racing, where we come from, and where our passion still lives today, and space to show these photographs, design projects, and art from our friends over the years. Once we had this on paper, we dove into organizing 10 years of photographs, and design projects, and with Dylan’s help, we shaped up the 355 page book. The video was always being shot in the background, with no real deadline, or end goal beyond keep shooting. By creating a calendar to share all of these ideas, a premiere in San Francisco would be our first stop on what would become a world tour. On September 12th 2015, we shared with the locals, and travelers alike, what we love. Track bikes and their riders using the streets and roads of the Bay Area, to express their interconnection of these elements. This series of photographs show some details from that weekend in San Francisco. We are grateful to all of our friends who tirelessly helped us prepare, who hung artwork in the middle of the night, who worked checkpoints at races, or lost their voices screaming at a video projection, and who woke up the next morning to sweat out the previous nights celebration. We want to thank sponsors that contributed by supporting these riders with the hardware needed to make this video/book possible, and the added legs to travel it around the world. THANK YOU.

CYCLIST OR BIKE RIDER: ZO Oct 2, 2015 Categories: MASH Frames 0 Comment Erik Zo just released a new Zine titled Cyclist or Bike Rider I have been enamored with the writing of Reginald C. Shaw in his book “cycling” since the day I first read from it.. The idea that a bike rider can learn to be a cyclist ,and what the difference is , is my favorite concept from the book. I decided to go through the hoard of prints I have been accumalating, from my hours in the darkroom, and pull out all the ones I have with bicycles as the subject. I ended up with a group of about 50 photos taken with a variety of cameras in various formats. When putting them together and condsidering how to bind it I could not reconcile the fact that I would have binding issues with the photos orienantated in one direction or the other…so I decided to make it a two part issue! Part A is Portrait format Part B is landscape format. I have now (26 sept 2015) Finished the 2nd printing of “Cyclist or Bike rider” I fixed an error in the first printing,cleaned up the covers,adding a pattern on the inside,and added an index of the images with each half of the zine having the index for the other half,so you can leave it open to the index page while you browse. I made these at the print house closeset to my house. I did not scan these so I was not able to get a collated package over the counter, my originals are mostly 8X10 prints so they cannot be machine fed..This is an inconnvenince but I decided to make the most of it and change to machine settings to suit each print. When at Kinkos the machines in are area are Canon Imagemakers which are getting long in the teeth. I will say the menu choices on the canons seem more sutble than on the machine I used for these which was a XEROX 5545. On this machine you are given 4 choices for your type of original and you can control light/dark, sharpness and contrast. Its much like color printing in the darkroom. You change the color balance and the exposure is off. Changeing the type of the original from PHOTO to PHOTO/TEXT or /HALF TONE photo would require resetting darkness..etc I have a few photos in the zine/paper blog/art book that I reduced down from 11X14 during the first printing, those were the ones that were hardest to get something I liked out of,and for the 3rd printing (if I ever make more) I will bring those in and copy off them ,as if hand placing it is only a modest difference in time. I took over the counter of the copy shop collating and printing for about 3 hours. I might be able to do it a little quicker but still comes out to at least 10 minutes per issue of time to print. Everyone in the paper trade who has seen the zine has asked about the cover paper. It is a metallic siVer paper named Currencey, it runs about 75 dollars for a ream of 150 sheets. These are all silver prints so I figured why not spend a couple of dollars on a flashy cover.! Cost 30 dollars shipped 25 in person. international inquire for your location.. BUY HERE other zines there as well.. missterpissta@gmail.com
