About me:: My name is Dr. Joe Dusek and I’m a published author, amateur photographer and full-time math professor. However, I’m also an avid outdoor exercise enthusiast – primarily running but I do bicycle and several of my close friends are passionate cyclists.

For over a year I’ve noticed the Ghost Bikes and thought it would be fitting to create a photographic essay/book documenting their existence, noting the tragedies and celebrating the victims’ lives. The recent events with Bobby Cann’s death have pushed me to seriously explore the possibility of taking this on as a project.

I’ve reached out to a couple of publishers I’ve worked with in the past and have received positive feedback. Now I’m contacting cycling organizations from around Chicago to gauge if such a project would be welcomed and, if so, hopefully get their involvement.

Julie Hochstadter suggested I post in the discussion forum at thechainlink.org to gather opinions. I’d like to hear from anyone willing to share their thoughts on this project, their own thoughts and ideas, etc. Feel free to contact me at joe.dusek@yahoo.com or visit me at http://www.facebook.com/joedusekphd to share your comments.

Thanks so much!
