LOCATION PHOTOGRAPHY
Recently, I had the opportunity to shoot again for an auction company – in Spokane. The subject was a rare custom Datsun 240Z. As usual, my job was to find a great location on the spot within minutes. Thanks to the owner for helping me capture this image.
I STILL LOVE SUMMER
The freedom I feel during summer in the Pacific Northwest is undeniable. For the rest of the year, the weather can be downright depressing, but when the sun shines on that green and blue landscape, one can’t help but feel rejuvenated. Digging my new boat and motor!
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 Here’s an unpublished shot from Luft 6.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.
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
R GRUPPE 20TH ANNIVERSARY TREFFEN
This weekend I attended the annual gathering of hot rod early 911 Porsches for the 20th time. Wow, did those years go by quick! So glad I could spend them following my passion and hanging out with my buds. I’ll be gathering footage and photos for a look back at this amazing two decade experience soon.
LUFT 6 GOES HOLLYWOOD

GRAY MAY
May is one of my favorite times to be in California. It’s not for the weather. Grey skies and fog enter the L.A. area for that month and the next, while Seattle’s climate is just starting to get clearer with warmer days. More
RALLY 4 KIDS
Tomorrow, there’s a car rally benefiting the United Boys & Girls Clubs of Santa Barbara, California. This promises to be a fantastic automotive event with lots of photo ops of amazing cars and their owners. I’ll be there to contribute and enjoy the fun.

LUFT 6
Amazingly, my 1972 Porsche 911 has been chosen to be included in the storyline display at the annual Luftgekühlt event in May. This year it’s being held at the famous backlot of Universal Studios. It still hasn’t sunk in how really lucky I am to be included. More
OWN IT
When I think of my life and the decisions I’ve made, a lot of it has come down to personal responsibility, doing the best I can in all circumstances and being true to myself.
Living in the moment and following your intuition helps. It keeps you aligned with your real potential by not dwelling on the past or what others might think. More
PARIS-DAKAR DESERT STORM
As you’ve probably noticed, I’ve been on the Porsche rally trail lately. With articles and films on the East African Safari and the Baja Mexican 1000, I just can’t seem to get enough. More

FIFTY WINTER GETAWAYS
Travel escape lists are published all the time. This one looks different. It appears to be very useful with attractive fares and specials.
I just returned from a personal getaway to Nevada and Arizona via Las Vegas. A perfect week-long winter digital detox! My Leica images from this road trip are now loaded on my Personal Work page.

HAPPY NEW YEAR WISHES!
Hope you had a good 2018. It was tumultuous for sure. But for me, there were also too many highlights to count.
Certainly one must be my Proterra Electric Bus assignment in Seattle. Thanks to Sybil and her team for keeping it fun!
Gotta’ say, I’m really lucky I get to do what I love for a living (especially since I’m not a trust fund kid!).
