EVERYBODY STARTS SOMEWHERE
As a photographer, my journey started at age 10 with a Brownie. When I won an award from Kodak at 12, I probably should have known. By the summer of 1968 I knew and decided to hitchhike across San Francisco for two weeks photographing. Unfortunately, my parents still didn’t get it. My 11 rolls of undeveloped film were thrown out in the trash. Continue reading “”
R GRUPPE TREFFEN 2016
Just back from Palm Springs for a photo shoot and to see my buddies in SoCal. R Gruppe’s early Porsche 911 gathering was held in the desert this year. We got lucky on Saturday with pleasant weather. Continue reading “”
WINEMAKER’S SPECIAL: THE BURGUNDY 912
The current issue of Porsche Club of America’s Panorama Magazine features my automotive writing and photography in the lead story. The subject is a 1966 912 in a special burgundy color – a shade that matches the grapes the owners use in making their own wine. Continue reading “”
WHERE TO GO THIS SPRING?
I’d go to Malta… Hey, it’s in Italy and they speak English! Continue reading “”
MARCH KID
My close friends know I’m shy and stay out of the spotlight whenever possible. And I rarely post photos of myself – but here goes. My version of a selfie… Continue reading “”
MORE ROAD TRIPS!
Its almost spring, and some of the best driving roads in the U.S. are between Washington state and California – just not I-5. Continue reading “”
ROAD TRIP!
There’s nothing better for clearing away winter cobwebs than taking a road trip in a 2004 Porsche 911 GT3 from L.A. to Seattle with a friend.

WHERE TO GO(A) IN 2016?
Never been to India… although I’ve always wanted to. There’s a former Portuguese province on the idyllic west coast of the country whose motto is “Truth Alone Triumphs”. It’s a popular destination for its laid back beaches, places of worship, biodeversity and world heritage architecture. It also has perfect weather in January/February. Continue reading “”
PERSONAL WORK – 2015
At the end of each year I pick a personal work series, what I consider my best three images from a non-assignment single location. It’s an entirely subjective process, unlike my edited commercial work.
SOMEPLACE WARMER
This time of year I’m thinking about traveling to someplace warmer. Call me the November Man. Mexico, South America, Australia, New Zealand, or my personal favorite, Bora Bora. Continue reading “”
MY FIRST CAR
A 1970 Mercury Capri in red with a Cherry Bomb muffler and rolled fenders for bigger wheels & tires. Everyone’s first car is special – if just for the memories… like tent camping in California. Continue reading “”
VOLKSWAGEN WOES
No, I’m not talking about the shocking diesel recall. That’s world’s away from my news.
My 2001 VW Eurovan Weekender’s second transmission failed. I guess after 200,000 miles of traveling cross country that will happen. Rather than fix it again, I decided to upgrade to a 2006 Porsche Cayenne. Same VR6 type motor with a lot more amenities. Continue reading “”
