Tony smallframe!

Hated because of great qualties, loved despite of great flaws.

About Me

I generally would rather have something old and cared for than new and out of the box. I love going to shows in DC, and can probably be found at one of the haunts a couple times a week. I love bike riding - nothing is better for getting your mind off the day to day grind of life. Scooter riding is a good second, however. And if I could shoot photos while riding either a bike or scooter, I don't think I could ever top that with a better day.

My Interests

I enjoy architecture. I love brownstones. I wish I could afford one. I pass my time drawing. I do mostly heavy ink pieces and tattoo work. I love riding my bike in downtown traffic and racing cabs and police cars down M street. I dislike when cars bump me while riding in traffic. I love Fort Reno concerts! I used to love doing graffitti. I am unable to do it in the same capacity these days, therefore I hate growing up and responsibility. I like pin-ups. I also enjoy Vespa's and old motorcycles - Honda CB's, Triumph, etc. I jumped right back into photography, but am still a long ways from where I left off. Looking to build the portfolio now, if you know anyone that needs some work done... http://www.flickr.com/photos/lonely_heart_imagery/ for my latest.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone with a story to tell. And cute girls. And photography nuts... width="425" height="350" .... width="425" height="350" ..

Music:

· The Smiths · Morrissey · Fugazi · Q and not U · The Evans · The Mars Volta · Burning Airlines · Muse · Bad Brains · The Roots · AFI · Trail of Dead · The Killers · El Guapo · Cibo Matto · Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five. · Death Cab for Cutie · Del Cielo · Tiger Army · The Horrorpops · Scatter the Ashes

Movies:

Old blaxploitation movies are always a winner. I also like Wild Style, Style Wars, etc. Grand Prix and Bullit were great too. I generally dislike anything using CGI. Anything from the gritty 70's is good. RAD and BMX Bandits, of course. The original Italian Job.

Television:

I don't have it.

Books:

Last 4 books I have read/ am reading:The New American Ghetto - The World of Tibetan Buddhism - Buddhism for Beginners - Advanced Studio LightingNo real literary masterpieces on there, however. That needs to change.

Heroes:

Such an odd question.

The smallframe is now in DC!

I hit the standard DC loop to break it in nicely. Throttle cable became super loose letting it rev its heart out when stopped. And the front brake cable did the same. So I was riding thru Georgetow...

The move is final!

Well, not yet, but it will be!  The lease was signed, and as of the 20th, I will be living  at 14th and N.  It will be nice to be able to walk to everything again, and not have to worry...

Put 700 miles on the motorcycle this week.

Getting better on it.  Using it to commute from Manassas to Falls Church for the time being - and goofing off in Clifton with friends and Dad.  Its more fun that I could have imagined - and ...

Richmond

So, I headed down to Richmond today to look at some vintage motorcycles first, and get some ideas for my tattoo second.  Both of those goals were accomplished, so I headed down towards Carytown t...
