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 “”
RENNSPORT WEEKEND UPDATE
Finally up for air after a mind-blowing weekend in Monterey, CA. Thanks to my editors Pete Stout and Randy Leffingwell for their guidance on the amazing stories I was assigned. It was especially wonderful meeting the staff of PCA Panorama Magazine at the top of “The Corkscrew” Sunday afternoon. Continue reading “”

GOING MOBILE
You may have heard the song by The Who. But that was back in 1971. What about today? What’s the absolute minimum a certified vagabond would need to travel and experience his country, self sufficient and styling. No big motor home. Just a mobile self-contained cabin, complete with everything. Well, everything a vagabond would need… Here’s one answer. Continue reading “”
THE BERING SEA – 35 YEARS AGO
In 1980 I was king crab fishing with my father on his 108 foot ship “Shaman” in the Bering Sea. Here is a photo I made during my last of seven seasons as a commercial fisherman in Alaska. It looks much the same today. It’s a part of my history very few of my friends know about. Continue reading “”

CINCO DE MAYO
“In America, Cinco de Mayo has become an excuse to eat Mexican food and drink margaritas. But in Mexico, it’s celebrated a bit differently. The holiday actually commemorates a military victory, when Mexico defeated the French in 1862.” Continue reading “”

JOSEF KOUDELKA
Josef Koudelka: Nationality Doubtful
November 11, 2014 – March 22, 2015
Getty Center, Los Angeles
“An aeronautical engineer by training, Josef Koudelka… became intensely committed to photography by the mid-1960s and quickly emerged as one of the most influential, iconoclastic photographers of his generation. This exhibition—the first U.S. retrospective devoted to Koudelka since 1988 — traces his legendary career with more than 140 works produced over five decades. It marks the first time that the work of one contemporary photographer will fill the Center for Photographs at the Getty.”
Don’t miss it.
TIME OFF
After three months of solid work, I’m caught up (sort of). Writing and planning my next project at my island cabin has been very productive and creative for me. Continue reading “”
MEXICAN ESCAPE

LOOKING FORWARD
2015 is sure to be an interesting year. The Porsche community has a lot to look forward to with Rennsport Reunion V scheduled for the fall in Monterey. Held every four years, it is a must see event for any car enthusiast. I will be producing a documentary film on Roger Grago to debut there, and I’ll be revisiting Speed Week at the Bonneville Salt Flats for a future book. Also, there are some amazing editorial stories to come as well – Pre-A 356s, early 911 racing cars, an iconic 914-6, and many others.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
