Heres a quick Q and A with Keith....

Whats good with Long Island?

Island life is great. Its got all the spots and trails you could ever
want, as well as some of the nicest people around. Also with NYC being
so close, I really can't complain.


How long ya been shooting?

I will be shooting for four years this summer.



Whats next for you?

I am striving to get as much as my work published in magazines, as well
as online publications. I would also like to make a new Ride L.I.
website soon. To make things more official and easier to navigate.



Film or digital?


Digital. Not only is digital more time and financially efficient, but
you also get that instant gratification you will never get with film. In
addition to that, With the evolution of digital technology the
differnces between film and digital can go unnoticed by the untrained eye.



Shout outs?

Steve Croteau, Nick Ponterio (for giving me a good deal on my bike),
Mike Carni (funniest man alive), Frank Juliano, Matt & Dave Cipolla, Nick
Steben (for always being down to ride, or go anywhere) Maria, Skinny
