Something Like Life

I spent a couple of hours on Saturday back on the set of Kilo as it neared the completion of shooting. It was a bit melancholy for me, knowing that the project was about to move to the next stage, post-production, where there would be no need of stills, and thus, no need for me […]

Details, Details…

I spent another enjoyable hour on the set of Kilo today and found it just as interesting as on Sunday, perhaps a little more so due to the fact that the crew were filming an interior scene. Kilo had taken over the Homestead tavern for the day and somehow managed to cram sound, lighting and […]

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 […]

Into each life…

It’s the middle of summer in England, so we got very wet yesterday. But once again, being ready for the rain made all the difference. It’s worse for the teams as setting up the bikes is harder, and of course in the wet, anything can happen as far as race results. But it’s sunny this […]

auf Wiedersehen

I’m sitting in the Frankfurt airport, in the same area as when I was waiting to go to Qatar, this time waiting for my flight to London and next weekend’s British GP at Donington Park. The announcer just called for the flight to Doha to board, and though I hope to go back to Qatar […]

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 […]

Friday morning

Sometimes it’s the details that tell the story. Driving in this morning I passed several police checkpoints. Some cars were diverted to side roads, others let through. I assume it was my P1 parking sticker that got me through the various stacks of German police vehicles, but I don’t know for sure why some cars […]

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” […]
