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

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 “”

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 “”

THROWBACK THURSDAY
Lately I’ve been on a gear purge, which means digging up old equipment that hasn’t been used in awhile. Here’s a blast from the past. My first professional Canon camera, a 1977 F-1. This workhorse put Canon on the map and was made from 1971 to 1981. Continue reading “”

DOG EAT DOG
Dog Eat Dog was Joni Mitchell’s twelfth album. Foreshadowing ongoing global challenges, it was released in 1985. Lyrically, the album deals with artifice, brutality, and innocence. Yup, that’s her car that got hit on Mulholland Drive on the back cover. Continue reading “”
