SAFARI 911 BUILDS
After completing features on Rothsport Racing’s Safari 911s in print and film, and seeing what they could do, I was convinced. This is the ultimate answer to an off-road Porsche. And it is. If you want to actually finish the Baja 500 or Mexican 1000. More
1973 CARRERA RS 2.7 LIGHTWEIGHT VS. TOURING
Most comparisons of this type gloss over some of the differing details that separate these two versions of what many believe is one of the best Porsche 911s ever built. My feature in the current issue of PCA’s Panorama Magazine avoids taking the easy road by looking in-depth at the iconic 1973 Carrera RS 2.7 touring and lightweight, including build variations and driving impressions.

THANKS PANO!
The annual Porsche Club of America’s national gathering took place in Florica this year. Once again I was assigned to photograph and write about the attending car owners and their Porsches. Despite extreme humidity and heat, I got the shots. Look for them in this month’s issue of Panorama Magazine!
NEVER A DULL MOMENT
Life is nothing if not interesting. Here I am married to the most amazing woman for 25 years, and I’m still working on being a better husband. More
PODCAST – RAIN CITY SUPERCARS
Thanks to Dan Putnam and Nick Bergeron of Rain City Supercars for inviting me to join them on their podcast this week. And thank you to everyone at Drivers Club in Redmond, WA for hosting the event. This is an awesome venue and an amazing car storage facility!

“FIRST PORSCHE” FAILS TO SELL
Technically speaking, the Type 64 isn’t really a Porsche… because the company didn’t exist when Ferdinand Porsche first built the car in 1938. More
PCA PARADE
Porsche Club of America sent me to Miami this week to photograph and write about the annual Porsche Parade. For sure, I’ll be taking my bag of tricks along to capture every unusual angle on location. More
000 MAGAZINE
Look for my Porsche 911 ST cover photograph and 45-page story in the current edition of 000 Magazine.
This is a first published deep coverage of the 1970-1972 911 ST. More
VINTAGE PORSCHE MARKET STILL HEALTHY
A 1972 911S I photographed for auction just sold for $279,000. Granted, it’s one of the best in the world. It’s basically a brand new car restored to perfection with Apollo history. Congrats to Scott and his family. Good news for me too, since I own a non-restored example.
HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY
Here’s to all those who have given of themselves to make the USA a better place where we can experience our hard won freedoms.

WHAT TO DO WHEN IT’S TOO HOT OUTSIDE
One of my specialties is automotive studio photography. When the sun’s blazing, the summer light can be too harsh to shoot in all day. That’s when I’ll pop into the studio, where I have complete control over the lighting. Like with this Porsche 356 Cabriolet.
ALL IN THE FAMILY
Happy Father’s Day, and congrats to the Gratton family of the Porsche Club of America. Their 1983 Porsche 944 will be featured in the July issue of Panorama, the club’s national magazine. More
I LOVE SUMMER
Refelecting on all the amazing things I’ve seen over the past months, this photo probably says it best. Going to car shows and meeting new owners and their cars is a constant source of reveal for me and my work. Here’s an unpublished shot from Luft 6. I’m off to another gathering today that’s sure to inspire me further on my journey.
IT’S SO GREAT TO BE BACK
Being a freelance artist means you are going to have to come to terms with stuff others don’t have to. Thankfully, we can always come back to being creative in a place where all that stuff goes away… for awhile. More
SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO PUT YOUR FOOT DOWN
I’m known as a good guy who will do almost anything for his friends and clients. The operative word here is “almost.” More
