Trevor Perelson

He is the dude to know...but if you don't know, now you know. I met Trevor back during the Hannah Ranch days back in the time of Summer 2006. I had just finished my first year of high school and Trevor was about to be in 7th grade. This kid could shred since he was born. But I didn't start riding with him until after the 2nd Ramprats mountain bike jam, where he took 1st place, along with a free trip to Woodward West. That also was the contest where another good friend of mine, Sergio Acosta, pulled his first 2 successful backflips. Since I first started hanging out with Trevor, he has gone through some trends from metro-ish to grunge to now, Organic, free-spirited all around good guy. No drama with this guy. When you are down to shred, he is too.

Sterling Lorence

Who is Sterling Lorence?

- The man, with the eye, that I look up to as my photographic hero.

Why him?

-His style, eye, and COMPOSITION of photography.

This photographer is the reason I look to still take photos, when I get the chance. I want to be him, not the fame or money, but to have the capability of grasping on to life and mountain biking in a way that is just so awe-inspiring.

His work inspires what i feel is also my style, 'composition with subject' and never the other way around (like a 'drink with lime'). Composition makes the photo, not the subject. The subject is only there to accent the photo with a small additive, while the composition is the meaning of the photo.

I built my 5 favorite photos from 5th best to All-Time Best.
