Be Ready for the Rain

The other day I commented that of the five Grand Prix rounds I’ve covered so far this season, it has rained at four of them, Qatar, Germany, the U.K., and Indianapolis. It rained at Donington last year, too, when the only wet weather gear I had was a parka and an umbrella. Fortunately I was […]

Rush Hour

This morning’s trip to shoot the sunrise was complicated a bit by the closure of the Bay Bridge, but it was great to back up at sunrise after a long summer break. As the sky warmed here and there, the fog and clouds rolled in over the Golden Gate, moving swiftly across the setting moon, […]

Looking Ahead

This morning a friend on Twitter asked his fellow MotoGP fans how they’re spending the weeks between races. I happen still to be going through images from the last THREE races. I’ve got to refine my workflow, no doubt about that.

Rolling!

Had a real treat yesterday, having been invited to a movie set by some friends who are working on their independent film, Kilo. This project is a kind of follow up to the Film Racing winner, Sweep, which, like the other films in this national contest, was produced in 24 hours. Rather than retell the […]

Mr. Lucky

Not Valentino—if anything he was a bit short on luck yesterday, finding himself on the pavement after fighting into the lead of the last British GP at Donington Park. I mean me, since I still sometimes can’t believe it when I find myself trackside at another MotoGP event or speaking to someone who not long […]

Old Habits Die Hard

Apparently I’m in what used to be East Germany. One of the veteran MotoGP photographers was telling me last night about the huge crowds they used to have here at the Sachsenring, until one year’s result had 300,000 fans singing the anthem of West Germany, which the powers that used to be did not find […]

Day of Stars Auction a Success!

On June 30th I wrote about the Riders benefit auction at MDK in Redwood City, which was a kind of preliminary event in preparation of the Day of Stars on the Thursday before the USGP at Laguna Seca, where a much larger crowd of racing enthusiasts was anticipated. For that event I’d donated an 18×24” […]

Riders for Health

I’ve been speaking to some of you lately about my recent involvement with an organization called Riders for Health, and if I’ve not shared this link with you already, I invite you to check out this short video which explains better than I what Riders does that is so important. Though I had heard about […]

Sensing New Possibilities

Some time ago I posited the notion that as technology continues to cram more and more pixels onto DSLR sensors, that growing capacity could be used not merely to make higher resolution images, but alternatively to gather more dynamic range with each exposure. Instead of bracketing a given shot twice, a 24 mega-pixel sensor could […]
