HAPPY ST. PATRICK’S DAY
For all of you with a wee bit of Irish in your heritage, here’s a photo of a Conda Green Kremer-Porsche 911 ST I’d like to be wearing today. Continue reading “”
THE PORSCHE EFFECT
Thanks to everyone at Road Scholars Magazine and the Petersen Automotive Museum for the opportunity to cover opening night of “The Porsche Effect” exhibit in LA. Shot entirely with a Leica Q and 28mm lens. Read all about it here: Continue reading “”
DEBRIS
One of my favorite songs. And my favorite Ron Wood riff on any album. Here’s a Ronnie Lane tune from 1971 with Rod Stewart, and the rest of Faces, with producer Glyn Johns on board. It just gets better with age. A Nod is as Good As a Wink, indeed. Continue reading “”
MONORAUL REMINISCING
The Beatles in mono are still a great listen, and one of their songs on the recently reissued 1967 Sgt. Pepper LP I’m playing today. It was the B-side to “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds”. McCartney wrote it when he was 16. Continue reading “”
PERFECTIONISM
Mr. Nelson, my 5th grade teacher at Mt. Eccles Elementary School in Cordova, Alaska, was the first person to tell me that I was a perfectionist. He advised me that while it’s certainly an admirable trait, it could hamper me if taken too far. I’ve never forgotten that, and I remind myself to keep it fun every day. Continue reading “”
BACK TO BACK
These two Porsches owned by Ryan Snodgrass are the inspiration for his amazing books: a 1976 Carrera 2.7 MFI 911 and a 1977 Turbo 3.0 930.
See the latest issue of Panorama Magazine for my feature comparing them back to back on the streets of Seattle. It’s a fun ride. Continue reading “”
HAPPY VALENTINE DAY TRAVELS!
Somehow, I never got around to this. But in 2018, I’ll be spending some time visiting hotels with vinyl and turntables. There are some pretty cool suites where a guest can play LPs in their room. First stop is the Kimpton Goodland in Santa Barbara. Continue reading “”
CAR DETAILS
Focusing on the essentials of a car is part of any automotive photo shoot. It’s actually one of the simplest things to do. No decisive moments, no complicated arrangements, no trying to introduce texture or a backdrop. It’s deceptively easy, as long as you have the right angle, the right crop, and the right light (which you may have to add). Continue reading “”
ELECTRIC TESLA ROADSTER CONCEPT CAR
MEET PORSCHE’S MISSION E
Promised: 0-60 miles per hour in 1.9 seconds. 0-100 in 4.2 seconds. A top speed of 250 mph. 650 mile range. OK, I’m impressed. Whenever the Porsche becomes available, I’ll specify it as my Uber car… Continue reading “”
GEM OF A 944
PCA Panorama Magazine has done it again… Check out my latest Porsche publication featuring a 3,777 mile 1983 Porsche 944. This gem belongs to Bill Morris of Tacoma, Washington and is a regular concours winner. Heck, it’s an all original time capsule! Continue reading “”
AUTOCROSS MASTER – PART 2
Here’s part 2 of my latest Roads Scholars Magazine feature. It completes a profile of Dwight Mitchell and his time with a certain Signal Orange 1971 Porsche 911T. Fun stuff! Continue reading “”
R.I.P DAN GURNEY
Porsche’s first (and only) F1 victory was with Dan Gurney on July 8, 1962 in a 804 at the French Grand Prix. He went on to build the American Eagle race car and racing team. His accomplishments in the field are legendary. For example, he was the first racer to use a full face helmet. One of the good guys. Continue reading “”
CALIFORNIA TRAGEDY
My heart goes out to my friends in the Santa Barbara/Montecito/Ventura area. Continue reading “”
MPG AWARD FINALIST… AGAIN
Well, I suppose I can toot my horn a bit, although the Motor Press Guild winners won’t be announced until next month. I was very fortunate to have a great project fall in my lap last year. Jeff Gamroth called and asked if I would like to document his Rothsport Racing Team effort at the 2017 Baja Mexican 1000 Rally. I said yes of course. Continue reading “”
BEST WISHES FOR 2018
I have several trips planned up and down the west coast of the U.S. throughout 2018 – in case you need to piggyback an assignment! Continue reading “”
PERSONAL WORK – 2017
Followers of my blog know that at the end of each year I pick a series of what I consider to be my best three personal images from a non-assignment single location. Continue reading “”
