I'm attracted to people with maverick streaks. One such person is Danny Lyon. Danny is a photographer/filmmaker who has created a unflinchingly strong body of work. His photos created while riding with and then becoming a member of the Chicago Outlaws back in the sixties are some of my favorite photographs of all time. His work is beautifully composed, brutally honest and dripping with soul. Here is some of his work. If you like it go to a book store and pick up "The Bike Riders", it's packed with a ton of powerful images and some great interviews with some of the more colorful subjects in his photos. Dig it.
