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 “”
TEAM ROTHSPORT PORSCHE 964 TROPHIES AT MEXICAN 1000 RALLY
Congrats to Jeff Zwart, Cameron Healy, Jeff Gamroth, and Carl Van Austen for finishing 3rd and 4th in the Vintage class of the 2017 NORRA Mexican 1000 race in Baja. These were the first Porsche 911s to finish this toughest of rallies in the event’s 50 year history! Continue reading “”
GT WINNER IN PCA PANORAMA
Kudos to the folks at Panorama Magazine for publishing a feature of mine in their April issue. It’s an R Gruppe award-winning 1973 Porsche 911 hot rod in Signal Yellow that Steve Baker built over 11 years. The result is a stunning car and a fun read! 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 “”
RENEE CRIST’S 356 IN ROAD SCHOLARS
Congrats to Renée Crist, curator at the Tacoma LeMay Museum, for being featured with her 1964 Porsche 356 in this month’s Road Scholars Magazine! A very deserving look at an important member of the PNW automotive community. Continue reading “”
ANOTHER COVER
Simplify simplify, simplify. It’s easy to overlook how powerful a detail can be when composing a photograph. 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 “”
THE STORY BEHIND THE SHOT
For April Fools Day I have just the photo for you!
Did I really arrange all those fall leaves and climb a tree to capture this view? Continue reading “”
A ROOM WITH A VIEW
There are some scenes I come across that are inherently perfect. The colors, the lines, the balance, everything works together – like a painting. You just point and shoot. The result is a travel souvenir that continues to reward after repeated viewing. Continue reading “”
PERCEPTION
We do not see what there is, but we see what we want to see or have learned to see. The important (thing) is to understand what we do not see. – Erwin Puts Continue reading “”
