"ERA SCANS (時代掃描) " 是一本收錄 1998 -2001年期間影像的珍藏本，一個在BMX街道歷史上最具開創性與影響力的年代，當時的紐約市也正處於一個文化大熔爐，而JEFF Z也正身處其中。- 翻譯自SILENT MAG.
"ERA SCANS" 1998-2001 IS A COLLECTION OF SCANNED IMAGES FROM AN AGE IN BMX THAT WAS NOT ONLY GROUND-BREAKING BUT HIGHLY INFLUENTIAL FROM A STREET RIDING PERSPECTIVE. NEW YORK WAS A MELTING POT OF CULTURE AND JEFF Z WAS RIGHT IN THE HEART OF IT.
生長於90年代末期的紐澤西市東北地區 ，作為一位BMX車手以及剛起步的攝影師, 我很幸運地身處在當時正在興起的街道風格的起始點，從ANIMAL BIKES 和 BASE BROOKLYN到亞利桑那團體 SOMBRA CREW的"FINDING SHADE"，我從此歷練展開了成為BMX攝影師的志向，紀錄1998-2001這個年代以及一群瘋狂進步的街道選手。
"AS A BMX RIDER AND FLEDGLING PHOTOGRAPHER GROWING UP IN NORTHEAST NEW JERSEY AROUND THE TURN OF THE CENTURY, I WAS FORTUNATE TO BE AT THE EPICENTER OF A BURGEONING STREET RIDING SCENE. FROM ANIMAL BIKES AND BASE BROOKLYN, TO FINDING SHADE WITH THE SOMBRA CREW IN ARIZONA, I CUT MY TEETH AS AN ASPIRING BMX PHOTOGRAPHER DOCUMENTING A SLEW OF INSANELY PROGRESSIVE RIDERS BETWEEN 1998 TO 2001.
當年正處於印刷出版品鼎盛的時期，市場上約有8間BMX雜誌出版，完成之動作並且被拍攝到好的畫面，洗出來的照片就會被夾在兩片厚紙板中並寫上"勿摺"並寄送到出版社。
接案攝影的工作一直持續到2001年秋季，接著我接下了RIDE BMX雜誌的全職工作，並且隨之搬到了加州。"ERA SCANS" 書內收錄著我職業生涯中非常關鍵的時期所拍攝的畫面，也是我認為沒有機會被公開的照片。- 翻譯自 JEFF ZIELINSKI
BEING THE HEYDAY FOR PRINT PUBLICATION, THERE WERE EIGHT OR SO BMX MAGAZINES IN CIRCULATION. IF THE TRICK WAS PULLED AND THE PHOTO TURNED OUT RIGHT, OFF IT WENT SANDWICHED BETWEEN TWO PIECES OF STIFF CARDBOARD IN AN ENVELOPE MARKED DO NOT BEND.
THAT FREELANCE CONTRIBUTING PHOTOGRAPHER HUSTLE CONTINUED UNTIL THE FALL OF 2001, WHEN I LANDED A FULL-TIME POSITION AT RIDEBMX MAGAZINE AND MOVED TO CALIFORNIA. ERA SCANS IS A COLLECTION OF WHAT I ASSUME TO BE UNSEEN PHOTOS SHOT PRIOR TO THAT PIVOTAL MOMENT IN MY CAREER."
