Speedway Series begins


Why Speedway ?
To be honest I can’t think of anything more boring than watching a bunch of
cars go around in a circle. A few years back I did some photography for an annual report at a small race track in Hickory. There was something very interesting about the track, I almost felt drawn to it.
Afew weeks ago I was in Daytona and got alook at the Mac Daddy of all race tracks The Daytona International Speedway. I think
there’s a visual story to be told, I’m not sure what it is .... Maybe it’s the contrast of the weekend family racer that spends every penny on his passion and the ones who have high dollar corporate sponsors or maybe it’s just the race tracks. Who knows ....... I’ve got a couple tracks lined up to shoot.

In print Kind-of


I was out shooting the other day and saw this banner hanging up. I thought it looked familiar, so I looked through my archives and sure enough found the image on disk # 234. This was from a 5 day shoot in Vermont back in 2002, looks like they got some mileage out of the images.

Yes, I know it looks like a bad porn set


Yes, I know it looks like a bad porn set ......... Keep watching the BET Network and you might see what we shot.

What are the odds ?


Don't think you'll be getting your Black Angus Beef Thickburger at theses Hardee's. But if your looking for a good Chinese lunch stop on by.

Ball of yarn


I threw up a ball of yarn on the corner set while it was white. I just painted it bright blue.

What have I done ????


So I had so left over flats from a shoot ........ What to do ? I built a little corner set in the studio. Not sure what I'm going to shoot in it. If you have any ideas let me know. I'm thinking a new series called "In the Corner ".
