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 “”
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 “”

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 “”
THANKS LEICA!

THROWBACK THURSDAY
One of the all-time great mechanical Leica rangefinders built from 1984 to 2003. Here’s my M6 built in 1991, my fifth Leica rangefinder after a M4-2, M3, M2 and M4. Continue reading “”
CAYENNE
Porsche’s SUV has turned out to be the perfect daily driver for my wife and I. All-wheel drive, great visibility, comfortable, not too big for city parking – but enough storage capacity to haul all our gear and still function as a camera car. Continue reading “”
Sometimes I forget how lucky I am that Robin Rickabaugh designed this amazing logo for me over 20 years ago. Continue reading “”

THE STORY BEHIND THE SHOT
This month we look at an image of mine that’s from the very first magazine feature ever done on John Straub’s old 1967 911. I titled it “Rust Never Sleeps”, and it appeared in the November 2011 issue of Excellence Magazine. Continue reading “”

Two views shot first thing in the morning this month. I feel very fortunate to have these landscapes and weather conditions available to me. Now it’s off to California for another environment to photograph! Continue reading “”
