IRMA MEETS FLORIDA
My thoughts go out to my friends in the Southeastern U.S. during hurricane season. These Ibises are native to Sanibel Island, FL and will hopefully survive. Continue reading “”
WALTER BECKER (1950-2017)
The elusive genius and co-founder of Steely Dan passed away five days ago. I’ve been listening to a lot of his music lately, and the hits he co-wrote with Donald Fagen are legendary: “Rikki Don’t Lose That Number”, “Kid Charlemagne”, “Katy Lied”, “Aja”, “Hey Nineteen”, and the autobiographical “Third World Man”.

THE STORY BEHIND THE SHOT
Here’s the story behind one of my best photographs that was never published. Continue reading “”
CMYK REVISITED
OK, so we know about Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black. But can we include each color into one photograph without Photoshop? Continue reading “”
COLORS OF SUMMER – BLACK
The fourth and final part of our CMYK proof checker’s series… K is for black. A pure black (and a pure white) in a photograph are important to me. Be safe during the solar eclipse today! Continue reading “”
COLORS OF SUMMER – YELLOW
Here’s Y of CMYK, a subtractive color model used in color printing. Continue reading “”
COLORS OF SUMMER – CYAN
Here’s the first in a four part series on CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black), the colors used in printing presses. Continue reading “”
SAVE THE SALT IS WORKING
As Speed Week at the Bonneville Salt Flats celebrates its 68th anniversary, three organizations representing racers and industry are in discussions with a potash mine operator on ways to increase the amount of brine being pumped back into the salt flats. Continue reading “”
MEXICAN 1000 FILM AND ARTICLE PREMIERE
The Porsche Club of America just launched my six-minute video about a pair of Rothsport Porsche 964s racing in the 2017 Baja Mexican 1000 Safari Rally.
After five days of blasting over 1,000 miles of rough terrain, the team beat all the odds by not only finishing but winning a trophy, a feat no Porsche has ever accomplished in Mexico. Until now. Continue reading “”
THE STORY BEHIND THE SHOT
Summer’s here and it’s time for a blistering image that has an interesting back story.
Bonneville Salt Flats is ground zero for land speed records. It’s also a cooker in the summer. The white surface acts like a huge reflector that throws light everywhere. This portrait is one example.
I had set up a flash to camera right and was ready to set my exposure. I fired a test shot, but it was way overexposed at 1/13 of a second. Continue reading “”
LONG MAY YOU RUN
Congrats to Michael Hammond and Don Ahearn for appearing in the current issue of Panorama Magazine with their 1967 911S. It’s one of the longest continually raced 911s in the world! What a blast it was to photograph and write about this iconic vintage race car. Continue reading “”
PROFESSIONALISM
I’m not sure why it’s so hard to achieve for so many. Calling yourself a “professional” today is becoming less and less meaningful. There seem to be only a handful of people in my line of work who truly qualify. Jeff Zwart and a few others have earned the respect this title deserves through lots of effort, pride in their work, and making the right decisions along the way. Continue reading “”
EMORY CAMPOUT FILM
The camp out this past weekend at Gary and Rod Emory’s farm in Oregon was sensational. Rennfilms and I both showed movies. Mine is a short video that is being prepared to debut with a feature article in the August issue of Porsche Panorama Magazine: 1000 Ways To Fail. Stay tuned for more. Continue reading “”
PORSCHE PARADE – SPOKANE
Busy, busy, busy… Juggling six or more assignments at a time is always a challenge. Fortunately the 2017 Porsche Parade last week in Spokane was delightful. Lots of great cars and people, with plenty of things to do and places to go. Continue reading “”
