LINK TO PORTFOLIO

“I believe every client deserves to have beautiful, authentic images that capture what their message and intention really is.

My approach to automotive photography for the past three decades has been to research and simplify my approach, anticipate the light and location, listen to my intuition and trust that the finished product will meet or exceed everyone’s expectations.

ANOTHER AUDIOPHILE VINYL REVIEW – JONI MITCHELL’S BLUE

Joni Mitchell has been a favorite musical artist of mine for most of my life. It was an honor to recently write a music review of a brand new LP reissue of Mitchell’s legendary 1971 album Blue.

The assignment for Tracking Angle was to compare the new vinyl from Warner Brothers/Rhino Hi Fidelity to original pressings and other well-regarded subsequent remasterings. Fortunately, I had the creative freedom to include the back story on how this archetype of confessional singer/songwriters was made. Check it out!

OUT OF THIS WORLD

That’s what an increasing number of unbelievably amazing looking new images you see today are. They are made up, not of this world. They never existed on earth. I’d call them photographs, but they’re not, since there is no actual light being used to create them (photo = light).

BELIEVING IS SEEING

Just back from a relaxing week on the water. A time for reflection and gratitude.

Thanks to all my friends and clients for your support. The assignments have been amazing and my personal projects have kept me busy when I’m not on the road. After some introspection I’m now open to work that includes being a personal photographer for large car collections and travel events.

HONORED TO HAVE MY PHOTOS IN OCTANE MAGAZINE

In issue 280 of Octane magazine is a feature on Jon Shirley, the guiding light of Microsoft, noted art and car collector and double Pebble Beach concours winner. Being local to and a colleague of Jon’s, I was fortunate to have been selected for photographing him and his car collection as part of an interview in this prestigious UK publication.

Jon Shirley Article

It’s not the 1950s anymore. Today, over 17% of the world’s population suffers from social media addiction. They are 2-3 times more likely to think about suicide. Gen Z is most at risk, those born between 1997 and 2002. Please be aware.

JAY MAISEL R.I.P.

It’s been announced that the remaining original giant of color photography, Jay Maisel, has passed away at 95. His sense of light, gesture, and color were a goal for many of us who started shooting seriously in the mid ’70s. He joined fellow pioneers Ernst Haas and Pete Turner in what many consider to be the holy trinity of early color photographers. Jay was a very influential and an inspirational legend. RIP

In addition to his corporate, editorial and fine art work, check out all the jazz covers Jay shot, including the seminal Kind Of Blue Mile Davis portrait.

WORLD PHOTOGRAPHY DAY

World Photography Day is celebrated every year on August 19. It marks the date in 1839 when the French government bought the patent for the daguerreotype process—the first practical way to take permanent photos—and gave it free to the world.

LIFE’S TOO SHORT

There are two things one should never waste time on: things that don’t matter and people who think that you don’t matter.

Work’s for me.

(P.S. Trompe l’œil (pronounced tromp loy) is a French art technique that means “deceive the eye”, similar idea to another name.)

LATEST COVER

Thanks to Vicarious Magazine for choosing my image of Porsches on the “Tail of the Dragon” in Tennessee for the cover of their current issue. See my travel destination story with more photos inside!

A CAUTIONARY TALE

A cautionary tale is a narrative designed to warn readers of a danger or moral consequence. It typically has three parts: it states a danger, shows those disregarding the warning, and ends with the violators facing an unpleasant fate to drive the moral lesson home. Continue reading “”

CHOICES, CHOICES

Chinese Insta360 company founder JK Liu recently explained his long-term ambitions by saying this, “One day everyone will forget cameras even exist.”

Not a good long term business plan if you ask me. Think I’ll stick with GoPro or DJI for a 360 “camera”.

MY KAMM 912C PHOTOS IN EXCELLENCE MAGAZINE

It was a pleasure to complete this assignment on a unique bespoke Porsche built by KAMM Manufaktur with lots of carbon fiber. With feather weight and a trick motor, it’s light, powerful and as cool looking as it is to drive and talk about. Porsche journalist Peter Linskey wrote the story, and I made the images for the current (September) issue of Excellence Magazine. Check it out!
