Jim 'Flash' Miteff - Portraits of American Bikers: Like in the 1960's



An astounding book from a true insider. Back in the 1960s, using a Graflex Speed Graphics Press Camera, Jim "Flash" Miteff shot several hundred photographs of the Outlaws 1%er Motorcycle Club. The photographs in the book were specifically selected from his collection by his daughter Beverly, who pretty much grew up on the scene. These never before published images are taken directly from the original negatives that had been in storage for over 40 years. A very different approach from Danny Lyon in the Bikeriders, more of a personal photo album than reportage.
