TORSION BAR TRIO

Congrats to Stacy Schulman on his Excellence magazine feature in the May #209 issue. A very well-deserved account of a great guy and his fantastic car collection. What a fun day it was canyon carving on Mulholland in these three Porsches: 1965 356SC Cab, 1973 Carrera RS, and 1989 930S. Special thanks to Stacy, Curtis Autenrieith, and editor Greg Brown for making it easy to photograph and write this story. Continue reading “”

JUST BACK FROM TWO WEEKS IN CALIFORNIA

Thanks to everyone I saw on this special trip. Photographed five Porsches for future articles, met with three of my editors, and chatted briefly with Prescott Kelly, Jerry Seinfeld and Chad McQueen. Special thanks go to Curt Autenreith, Cris Huergas, Terry English, Scott Longballa, and Rod & Gary Emory for their valued companionship. Continue reading “”

THANK YOU TO PETE STOUT AND PANORAMA

There have been a few times in my career as a photographer where a publication has used my images in exactly the way I would have layed them out. This is one of those times. The February issue of the Porsche Club of America’s magazine Panorama just arrived and I’m over the moon. Both of the features I was involved in look amazing. One documents a remarkable 32,800 mile all original ’58 Speedster and the other portrays a newly restored 1972 911 in ST Signal Yellow paint. Continue reading “”

THE 356 THAT KEEPS ON GIVING

Once again, Excellence magazine has chosen to feature a “patina queen.” This one is an original 356B Porsche in Ruby Red driven by Rachel Nelson of California on a daily basis. With 285,000 miles on the clock, it’s still ticking and delivering the goods. Rachel’s custom glass goes in the back seat when she delivers small pieces to clients! Continue reading “”

NEW SINGER 911 VIDEO

Chris Harris and Drive have just released a great video documenting Rob Dickinson’s Singer 911. It’s wonderful to see someone who has the vision and budget to produce a “bespoke” custom Porsche that has no compromises. Of course Rothsport’s slide valve injection might be even cooler, but this car is seriously “horny” as Chris says. Continue reading “”

REMEMBERING SUMMER

Whenever the sun disappears for two months at a time, when the rain comes down in buckets or the temperature drops below freezing, my mind drifts back to nicer days. Last summer in the Pacific Northwest saw plenty of those, and some great track days!

Here’s a short video of one perfect day. A retro-mod Porsche 911, a GoPro camera, and a brand new set of 225-50/16 Dunlop street tires. To paraphrase Kilgore/Milius: “I love the smell of burning rubber in the morning. It smells like… Victory.” Continue reading “”

GIVING THANKS – R GRUPPE STYLE

When it comes to pilgrims (in the John Wayne sense), they don’t come much more down to earth than the passionate members of that early Porsche 911 hot rod club named R Gruppe.

The club’s foundations trace back to 1998 when Freeman Thomas of So Cal (modified Tangerine 1969 911E) called Cris Huergas of Nor Cal (modified Light Ivory 1969 911S). Huergas’ 911 had just been published in Excellence Magazine (#76 April ’98), and Thomas was inspired to contact him. Continue reading “”

AUTOMOTIVE FINE ART PRINTS

Last week a new gallery went up on my main photo website Images of America. This gallery features my newly developed automotive fine art. Forty images are up and fifty more are being created for specific markets. It’s been a four month journey crafting a post-processing technique that has lent an expressionist painterly quality to my images, prints and murals. Continue reading “”
