PORSCHE TO FOCUS MORE ON WEIGHT?
An end to the horsepowers wars? Sounds good to me. The latest supercars are so powerful (and heavy) that when a novice driver exceeds the limits of adhesion bad things happen… fast. Hopefully the next GT3 will incorporate answers to these questions. Continue reading “”
HOT CHILI
Congrats to Alan Rich and his spicy red 1973 BMW 2002 with M3 Propulsion – as featured in the current issue of Bimmer Magazine (#133). Alan and his son Zach did most of the work themselves converting a stock sunroof ’02 into a custom 245hp fire breathing hot rod. It was a privilege to cover this fun story in words and pictures.

EV WINS PIKES PEAK HILLCLIMB
Rhys Millen won Pikes Peak overall today driving an all-electric powered vehicle – a first in the history of the event. With a time just a few ticks over 9 minutes, Sebastian Loeb’s seemingly miraclulous 2013 record run of 8:13.878 in a World Rally car is still safe for now. Continue reading “”
PORSCHE RACING WEEKEND
Today is the final day of autocross competition at the 60th annual Porsche Parade in French Lick, Indiana. Good luck to all my PCA friends! Continue reading “”
LEICA Q MIRRORLESS CAMERA
This announcement seems more intriguing to me than the Leica T camera (16 MP) introduced last year. The Q does not take interchangeable lenses, but the fixed aspherical 28mm f1.7 lens is mated to a superior 24 MP full frame sensor that has the ability to crop to 35mm (15 MP) or 50mm (8 MP). 3.68 MP EVF viewfinder, video at 60 fps, macro mode availability, 10 FPS in DNG, image stabilizing, autofocus, autoexposure – all switchable to off. Ingenious. Continue reading “”
PORSCHE WINS LE MANS
Today, Porsche claimed its 17th overall Le Mans victory. The team’s 919 Hybrid #19 won the world’s greatest endurance race with Nico Hulkenberg, Nick Tandy, and Earl Bamber driving.
Porsche Team’s 919 #17, which was on pole with Mark Weber, finished second. Audi had to settle for 3rd after dominating this French event for years. Continue reading “”
ROAD SCHOLARS II
A new Porsche shop is about to open on San Juan Island, WA. The man of the shop? Kevin Watts. A Scot who’s one of the sharpest guys I know. Continue reading “”
INSPIRATION
The photographers I admire most are always striving to improve themselves. It’s possible to become complacent, once you have reached a certain level of accomplishment. But it’s imperative that you keep pushing the edge, to continue sharpening your critical facility and to immerse yourself in new ideas and techniques. Continue reading “”
THE ALMOST PERFECT 1954 SPEEDSTER
It’s no secret. I’ve always wanted a 1954 Porsche Speedster. It’s the first year of an iconic shape that’s become a classic in automotive history. At least I’ve had the opportunity to photograph and drive one. Continue reading “”
MARY ELLEN MARK R.I.P. (1940-2015)
Mary Ellen Mark was by far my favorite female photographer. She was legendary for her unstoppable and compassionate approach at Magnum. Melissa Harris, editor in chief of Aperture Foundation, says, “She got to know the subjects she photographed very well, and she was able to convey who they were and how they lived, as well as a sense of their interior lives. There are not that many photographers who can do that.†Continue reading “”

NEW LEAF ’72T
Thanks to editor Randy Leffingwell and Road Scholars Magazine for showcasing my article on this lightly modified 50K mile 1972 Porsche 911T. It was originally built to special order with Leaf Green paint, tan interior, 5-speed transmission, forged alloy Fuchs, ‘S’ appearance group, tinted glass, and sunroof. Continue reading “”
BMW PRO3 RACING
There’s a fun little article coming out that I recently completed for Bimmer Magazine. It portrays a group of racing friends who compete in similar BMW E30s at Pacific Northwest tracks. Everyone has the same setup: motor, tires, suspension, and brakes. Continue reading “”
