Different Spokes
Chicago Bicycle Messengers
GARY STEPHEN HOPMAYER (Passaic, NJ, 1940 - ) is a student-at-large
in the photography program at Columbia College Chicago and is
Vice Chair of the college's Board of Trustees.
A continuous path of learning inspires my photography. Acquiring
knowledge, hearing thought-provoking images, and attempting to
capture "perfect" moments are my study tools. The human
interaction I encounter as a photographer provides new discoveries
that lead to a more reflective insight into my photography.
Guided by these influences, I have created Different Spokes -
strong, distinctive portraits imbued with an activist human element
that is the DNA of a Chicago bicycle messenger. Urban, counterculture,
weatherproof bike enthusiasts. American mavericks living on the
edge of the system, with each image, their captivating eyes have
the potential to reveal "something" about the spirit
of the subject.
I bring to my work a sense of social anxiety - a "discomfort
zone." Stepping into unfamiliar, potentially ominous worlds,
I become an alien invading someone's personal space. Hearing anxious
voices inside me, I abate some level of this noise and expand
my ability to "see." |
