So Nice To See Your Friends Do Well
I have no closer connection to any MotoGP team than the French Tech 3 squad, having interviewed Guy Coulon several times for MotoMatters.com and gotten to know the press officer and team principal fairly well last season. Now that they have two of the premier class’ three American riders, I watch their progress with even […]

Read MoreLet’s Eat Fewer Rocks
One of the noticeable things about the 2010 MotoGP bikes in Qatar was how the Ducatis all had a kind of mesh cover over the exhaust pipe. I asked around a bit and never found an explanation. Should’ve asked someone at Ducati, obviously, because this unique feature was just explained over at MotoMatters.com in an […]

The story of Rossi’s glowing brake discs For a year I had a unique photograph. As far as I could tell, after searching everywhere I could think of, I was the only one who’d gone to the entrance of Turn 1 at Losail in 2009 and captured the glowing brakes as the MotoGP riders as […]
Read MoreIn the club, at least for now…
Instead of staying in a hotel this year, I’m sharing an apartment or sorts (it’s a room in a Residence Hotel) with a fellow photographer, Andrew Wheeler, whose work has probably had more influence on me than any other sports shooter. I’ve known him in person for several years and it was largely his offer […]

It’s almost that time again! The 2010 Grand Prix season starts in just under two weeks at the Losail International Circuit in Doha, Qatar, and I’m very excited to be returning to this unique place for the season opener.

Read MorePhotos for Riders for Health
This weekend is the Cycle World motorcycle show in San Mateo, and our local NorCal Riders for Health chapter will have a booth to help spread the word. As usual, I’m donating something, in this case two of my favorite photos from the 2009 season. The above photo was taken a the Sachsenring in Germany, […]
Read More2010 is right around the corner
And the 2010 MotoMatters.com calendar is nearly finished. We’ve been waiting for the FIM race dates to sort themselves out, and after Brno moved up recently we believe we’re finally ready to go to press. Now, if all the race weekends on the provisional calendars will just stay where they are (cough, Valencia, cough) and […]
