Two motorcycle riders in front of an old brick storefront with words Lowe Brothers, photographed in Davenport, Iowa, 1977.

Ran across this old photograph, Lowe Brothers, which received a third-place award in the 1986 Quad Cities Art Showcase.

At the time, I wasn’t thinking in terms of “art” or “career.” I was just responding to something in the scene. Looking back, it’s interesting what gets recognized and why.
