When “Take a Picture of Me on My New Spin Bike” Turns Into This
It started with the most casual request.
My wife walks in, looks at me, and says:
“Hey babe, can you take a picture of me on my new spin bike?”
Now, most people would’ve grabbed a phone, snapped a quick pic in workout clothes, maybe added a smile or two, and called it a day. But I don’t do most people. That’s not my lane.
I looked at the bike, looked at her, and thought—this isn’t just a bike. This is a stage. This is a throne. This is an excuse to create something you can’t scroll past.
What she got was not a quick snapshot.
What she got was a full-blown vision:
-
Afro lit up like fire.
-
Glossed melanin glowing under the light.
-
Strapped, styled, and fierce in heels no one expects to see on a spin bike.
-
A scene that looks more like Afrofuturism colliding with fitness culture than anything you’d find in a gym.
This is what happens when art takes over the everyday. A simple, ordinary request gets alchemized into something raw, provocative, and unforgettable.
That’s the spirit of Tape Latex and Oil. I don’t just document—I transform. I bend reality until it’s dripping with style, sexuality, and myth.
So yeah… my wife asked me to take a picture of her on her new spin bike. And this is what she got.
