"For many years the photographer Sandro Miller, a resident of Chicago, has been making portraits of Harley-Davidson bikers. Unlike a true fan, he does not take photographs of them on their bikes; rather, he placed them without their heavy machines directly in front of the camera. The result is portraits of people who behind the camouflage of tattoos, chains, and leather reveal their vulnerability – people trying to experience the romantic dream of the nomadic life. In his introductory text Prosper Keating illuminates the history and the traditions of the American bikers."
