I am quite honored and owe a special thanks to Dr. Arthur Veno, best-selling author who has chosen my photography from a selection of nationally recognized photographers to be featured in his latest project, Biker Chicks, now available for sale and, as I have been told, is currently listed as the #1 bestseller in Australia.
Introducing Dr. Veno....
Dr. Arthur Veno is Adjuct Professor of Criminology at Monash University.
He has written three popular books on bike culture The Brotherhoods: Inside outlaw motorcycle clubs (Allen and Unwin, 3rd ed November 2009); The Mammouth Book of Bikers (Constable and Robinson, London, 2007) and Biker Chicks: The magnetic attraction of women to bad boys and motorbikes (Allen and Unwin, May, 2009).
He was the Director of Police and Justice Studies at Monash for many years and has received numerous national and state awards for his work in violence prevention with both bikies and police.
From 2001-2005 he worked on a grant requiring him to ride with The South Australian Gypsy Jokers during their campaign to stop the introduction of the current anti-bikie legislation in South Australia and assisted the Secretariat of the Joint Parliamentary Committee reviewing the Australian Crime Commission's Serious and Organised Crimes Act in 2008.
He was awarded the Australian Psychological Society's Distiguished Career award for his work with bikies and police in 2007.
He has never been a member of any club.
