FRAMES

“Behind every swipe and like, there’s photograph. Behind every photograph, there’s a story to be told.” In the world of racing, everyone relies on photos. The various series’ need them to show who won the race and promote themselves for next year. The teams need them for press releases. The drivers want them for their sponsors. But behind those photographs, there are people. People like myself, who make a living chasing race cars around the world with cameras. There are no da

Dear Armchair Journalists

Dear Armchair Journalists

Over the past few years, I think it’s safe to say that F1, my first love in car racing, has lost that “fever” and passion that it used to have. In part thanks to hideously ugly cars, processional races of fuel and tire saving in the name of the dreaded word of relevance, and a lack of sound to at least antagonize one of my body’s senses. F1 needed a good shake up. So, standing trackside at Barcelona’s circuit at 8:59am, I waited for the first view of the 2017 cars. I was shoo

Back to Blogging

The Rolex Daytona 24 is tough on any day. Throw 16 hours of rain into the mix, and it becomes a brutal test of endurance on mind body and equipment. 2017’s first race of the year is always one I look forward to. With new cars, new drivers, old friends and new ones, it’s like going back to school. Photographically, I also have to shake the cobwebs off. Save for the 3 days of testing in early January, I have spent the last month and a half shooting food, drinks, artists and loc

First ROAR

First ROAR

I’m not going to wax poetic in this blog. Sportscar racing is back, and it is back with a whole bunch of NEW. New teams. New cars. New drivers. 2016 is going to be a great year for endurance racing. Here are some of my favorite frames from 3 days of testing in Daytona. We’ll all be back in 2 weeks for the big show, until then, here are a few favorites. To see more images, search for drivers, teams or cars, please visit my archive. Thanks to Lamborghini, O’Gara Motorsport, Day

Formula 1 Dawn

Formula 1 Dawn

I love winter testing. Not everyone does, but I do. The long days allow for plenty of opportunities to make art with the new cars pounding around lap after lap after lap. You can learn so much about the cars, the drivers and the teams. It still boggles my mind that so many journalists keep their asses planted in the media center watching a live timing screen, and occasionally poking their head over the desk to see which car is coming in pitlane and what tire it is running on.

Exhaustion

Exhaustion

There is a first for everything. The 53rd Rolex 24 at Daytona was my first. My first time to the famed banked oval by the beach. My first 24 hour race. It was everything I thought it would be, and much more. More fun. More exciting. Definitely more exhausting. The thing I’ll remember most about my first 24 is the complete silence that surrounds the track after the race is over. For over 24 hours, there have been engines roaring, relentlessly pounding your eardrums and spine.

Championship Material

In my eyes and my mind, Formula One has already crowned it’s 2014 World Driver’s champion? “How so” you say? “We have 2 races to go” they argue, “and one them is double points!” Let me elaborate. Lewis Hamilton is a man on a mission. Nico Rosberg is a guy without motivation. As a former athlete myself, I’m not sure how he ended up here. If you had put me in a corner and told me I was going to lose a race as a swimmer or jockey, there are two mindsets to take. One would be to

Nothing Like The First

Nothing Like The First

As a photographer, it is our job to capture the emotions of a sport. A time and place that will never happen again. Drivers come and go. They get wins. Lose races. Crash. But the moment that always comes with the most emotion is the first win. Every win thereafter will always pale in comparison to the raw energy of the first. On Sunday afternoon, the guy who smiles the most, even when things aren’t going his way, had the biggest smile he’ll probably ever wear in his life. Red

These Colors Don’t Run….

With waves crashing against the seawall outside the harbor on a beautiful Friday afternoon in Monaco, Three young Americans sat down to talk. Road and Track’s Jamey Price, a young photographer working on getting a foot in the door of the F1 photography world and covering his first Monaco Grand Prix. The other two? Conor Daly from Indiana and Alexander Rossi from California, drivers aiming for F1 and currently competing in F1’s feeder series, GP2. Over and over, these young dr

Bulls. Sun. Sebring.

Season 2. Round 1. With a sharp bark, series champion Kevin Conway fires up his V10 Gallardo in the staging area at Sebring International raceway. This place and these cars. Now that is something special. At the end of last season, I heard rumors of what the schedule would be for the coming season. Not that the races were bad in 2013, but Calabogie and Fontana don’t exactly scream history and prestige. Sebring, Laguna Seca, Mosport, Watkins Glen and Road Atlanta do though. So
