Renowned photojournalist, Miguel Luis Fairbanks, captures the world's largest gathering of Harley-Davidsons - the annual Black Hills Motorcycle Classic in Sturgis, South Dakota. For 10 days 400,000 bikers turn Sturgis into a madhouse of chrome & leather, & Fairbanks' gritty documentary photos peer into every corner of the town. Say reviewers, "THUNDER IN THE HILLS: STURGIS AT 50 is a remarkable work not only because he scans the entire landscape...his strength is his mastery of color photography, his instinctive recognition of icon & totem, & his ability to mix human character with these to deliver a cultural tapestry." And, "What Thompson expressed in prose in his classic book HELL'S ANGELS, Fairbanks captures in THUNDER IN THE HILLS." Fairbanks won the 1990 World Press Photo award for his story on Brazilian ghetto kids who "surf" the tops of Rio commuter trains. His work appears in the New York Times Magazine, People, U.S. News & World Report, & National Geographic.
