THE SHOT THAT IS NO LONGER

EARLY 911 HEADLIGHT PHOTOS
Happy Halloween!
Thanks to Editor Pete Stout and 000 Magazine for the opportunity to photograph a feature on early Porsche 911 and 912 headlights.
Writer Mark Morrisey made the call, and expert collector Eric Linden provided the hardware. I shot everything in a mini-studio set up specifically to reduce reflections, yet still provide a controlled highlight. Thanks guys, that was fun!

Porsche Club of America recently published my images in Panorama Magazine, with their coverage of the July 2018 PCA Parade in Missouri. The lead fireworks shot required a bit of pre-planning and a dash of luck and quick setup to capture.
