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 “”
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 “”

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 “”
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 “”

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 “”
