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 “”

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 “”

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 “”
THE STORY BEHIND THE SHOT
On the first of every month I’ll be posting about a photograph I made.
This month we look at an image I created in 2010. It’s an Aga Blue 1973 911E parked in front of some old quonset huts in Orange County. The car’s owner and I scouted this unusual set of buildings and arrived at dawn the next day. Continue reading “”
1972 CUSTOM PORSCHE 911
Not quite a Singer restoration but it has ST bodywork, 315 hp and weighs 2350 pounds. Published in three international magazines. Yes, it’s fast and it’s paid for! Continue reading “”
OUT OF AFRICA
Another historic Porsche has been featured in the January issue of PCA Panorama Magazine. It’s the 1973 911 Carrera RS that finished 2nd in the 1974 African Safari Rally with Björn WaldegÃ¥rd at the wheel. Continue reading “”
SEARCHING FOR SALT – ONE YEAR LATER
Thanks to my friends at Road Scholars for publishing an update to my October 2015 award-winning article.
It tells the story of Porsche competitor Tom Woodford, who attended the 2014 Bonneville Salt Flats “World of Speed†event. It was the only automotive competition at Bonneville that wasn’t cancelled due to a lack of salt during a three-year period from 2013 to 2015. Continue reading “”
WANT TO UPGRADE YOUR EARLY 911 SUSPENSION?
Porsche’s first 911 sport cars in stock form ride a bit soft by today’s standards. Their shocks and bushings are easily worn out over time. My latest Road Scholars Magazine article covers the basics of maintaining and subtly upgrading the ride of your early 911, while improving its handling. Enjoy! Continue reading “”
MEET OTIS
Kudos to Porsche Panorama creative director Richard Baron and editor Amy Skogstrom for their amazing layout and edit on my 2012 Cayenne “overlanding” story.
That summer day I spent off-roading in the Pacific Northwest with “Otis” owners, the Ranhofers, was appropriately muddy. So, we were able to get the perfect shots for the December 2016 issue of PCA’s national magazine. For more words and pictures about this exciting adventure sport see this link:

MID-ENGINED 911 RSR
This is big news and could be the start of something new for Porsche’s iconic sports car model. Air cooled has been a thing of the past since 1998. Could rear engines be too? Look for how the new RSR does at Le Mans for an indication of what’s to come. Continue reading “”
PRIMAL SCREAMS
I heard two primal screams two days ago. One was at 7000 rpm while riding in one of the most iconic Porsche 911s ever – a 2.5L MFI powered 1970 911ST. The other was from my television set that evening… Continue reading “”
CIVILIZED MISFIT
Congrats to my friend Jerry Wynne and his 1972 911 hot rod built by Phil Troiani. This car was featured in Excellence Magazine over six pages, for which I am very grateful. It’s always a pleasure when you connect with interesting characters in my line of work. Jerry’s life is one of those amazing stories you’ll feel good hearing about. Continue reading “”
