BARN FIND PORSCHE 944
Check out this latest feature published in Road Scholars Magazine. It tells the story of a 1983 Porsche 944 in the color of Sapphire Metallic. This gem was stored for 34 years, has only 3,700 miles recorded, and is completely original. It can be seen at the Porsche Parade Concours in Spokane on Monday! Continue reading “”
HAPPY 4TH OF JULY

THE STORY BEHIND THE SHOT
For July, here’s a shot that was set up to look like an autocross, also known as slalom racing. It was created to run as the double page opener for a feature I had written and photographed on the sport for Excellence Magazine. Continue reading “”
SMART DISCO
OK, maybe that’s an oxymoron. But exactly 37 years ago Jackson Browne released his answer to what was then music’s latest rage. It didn’t hurt that it included the best ever song about Lowell George of Little Feat. Continue reading “”
PARKINSON’S DISEASE
My father died of it. And now I’ve written about it. Not sure I really ever understood its significance until today.

PORSCHE WINS LE MANS AGAIN
With six hours to go they were 19 laps down. But that didn’t stop the Porsche 919 Hybrid team from clawing its way back to an overall win, its third consecutive Le Mans title. Continue reading “”
THROWBACK THURSDAY
The Nikon F is a true icon. Introduced in 1959, it was the first successful 35mm single lens reflex camera. The last F made (followed by the F2) was called the Apollo. This one’s from 1973 and is pictured with the classic 55mm f1.2 AI Nikkor lens that was used by NASA astronauts in space. Continue reading “”
LIFE AND TIME
It’s been one heck of a week. My mom broke her femur six weeks after a hip replacement at age 91 in Seattle, and my niece gave birth to a healthy girl named Willow in Sydney. All within 9 hours. Continue reading “”
SUMMER OF LOVE
50 years ago, pop culture was blossoming. There was Sgt. Pepper, Andy Warhol, Haight Ashbury, free love, and power to the people. If you were a teenager in June 1967, you’ve never forgotten it. I certainly haven’t. Continue reading “”
THE STORY BEHIND THE SHOT
This month we take a behind the scenes look at an impromptu photo made at the end of the 2014 PCA Parade autocross championship. It had come down to the last run between two modified Porsches, a 914-6 and a Cayman. Continue reading “”
GREGG ALLMAN – LAID BACK
Gregg Allman passed away today. He was a founding member of the Allman Brothers Band with brother and maestro guitarist Duane Allman.
Duane and bassist Berry Oakley died in in 1971 and 1972 in similar motorcycle accidents, after the release of the groundbreaking Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs and At the Fillmore East. Continue reading “”
THROWBACK THURSDAY
Here’s a look at an M9-P from 2013, my first digital Leica rangefinder. The black paint is now brassed after 100,000 exposures, but it’s still a favorite piece of gear for personal work, fine art, and vacations! Continue reading “”
ERIC LINDEN (A.K.A. THE TRENDSETTER}
I’m currently at R Gruppe Treffen 2017 in Napa. And the timing couldn’t be better. My friend Eric Linden of Auto Foreign Services and his 1967 Porsche 911S have been setting R Gruppe trends for 20 years. Continue reading “”
LUFTGEKUHLT 4
Tomorrow is the single biggest air-cooled Porsche social media event in Southern California. Luftgekühltâ„¢ is the brainchild of Porsche factory racer Patrick Long and creative director Howie Idelson. They expect over 500 vintage Porsches to attend rain or shine. Continue reading “”
DRIVE TOWARD A CURE
This past weekend I had the privilege of attending the inaugural Drive Toward a Cure Road Rally, which benefits Parkinson’s research. Kudos to Deb Pollack and Mark Davidson for organizing this successful and heartfelt California adventure. Continue reading “”
THE STORY BEHIND THE SHOT
May is a long way from December. But, by popular demand, here’s this month’s story behind the shot.
In 2014 I was assigned to photograph an all original, low mileage 1958 Meissen Blue Porsche Speedster. I was in Seattle. It was in Montana. All I needed to do was be there in one week – on Christmas day. Continue reading “”
