Speaking of Tak, if you don't follow his blog, you should do so. He's a great photographer who used to be a messenger here in NYC. Being raised in Japan, he's also the link between the NYC and Tokyo track bike cultures. Tak's a constant figure around here and sometimes he comes out to Peel Sessions and shoots the riders.

Tak also shot the Peel Sessions article in the new Loop magazine, as well as the Mishka lookbook for the Spetsnaz jacket.
