the ghost bike

I got my photographic start by making images of roadside crosses and other memorials, and the habit of scanning roadsides and looking for memorials has never really left. I don’t always stop these days, but every now and then I see one that needs my attention.

This was one of them.

This ghost bike along US 90 commemorates where a cyclist was killed. Using painted bicycles as a way to memorialize a death began in Missouri in 2003. This fatality was, judging by the sign on the bike, the result of a DUI.

The lens flares seem to be pulling the bicyclist skyward.
