Windy Morning
This photograph almost cost $4,000! The wind was so strong atop Hawk Hill this morning at sunrise that it tried to push my camera and tripod over the cliff. The fall would’ve been about 25 feet, far enough I think that the heavy end of the rig would’ve hit first. At just the wrong angle, […]
Once More Into The Night
T. S. Eliot wrote that April is the cruelest month, but for grand prix fans, it’s November when the season ends. We’re eight weeks away from the final pre-season test at Losail International Circuit just outside Doha, Qatar, and a week after that test, the first race of the 2011 season will take place under […]
5 Things I Learned Last Night About Snow
Never having lived through a snowy winter, there is much about dealing with the white stuff I don’t know. Last night was a great learning experience, for I learned ALL SORTS of things related to snow. Having gone to the eastern shore each night of this current trip to Lake Tahoe, I decided last night […]
Lake Tahoe Sunset
This is the same subject as yesterday’s photo, but from a different perspective and at sunset instead of 2am. I was walking back to the truck after feeling a bit let down by a sunset that went, as the poet said, gentle into that good night, showing very little warm light on the section of […]
Good Things Come To Those Who Wait
How long did it take to make this photograph? About two hours last night to get it just right, plus several trips over the past year to find the right location and perspective, four evenings in the past two weeks waiting for the sky to be perfectly clear, and several months waiting for the above […]
Rossi United
I’m taking a break from organizing my relocated office, which has moved from the front of the house to the rear, and wanted to tell you about a very nice experience made possible by… By what, exactly? Let’s see if we can figure it out. At the British Grand Prix, I noticed while shooting on […]
A Star On Top
For the first time in quite a while this photographer actually make some photographs last night. For months now, work for me has been about producing the MotoMatters calendar and our “Fast Things” t-shirt, printing landscape images for display in one of the Northstar at Tahoe shops, and filling orders for the Rossi glowing brakes […]
À bientôt Bosnia and Herzegovina
The final guest post from Sarajevo… Saturday morning is here, our last day in town. The snow is falling in thick flakes, blanketing Sarajevo with puffs of white. It is cold and dry and the city is coming to life. We had planned a day trip to Mostar, but one of our companions has fallen […]
And Now A Word From Our Sponsor…

Guest Post–Bosnian Hospitality
More on my wife’s amazing trip to Bosnia to assist Women for Women… Avid followers might be seeing a theme from this trip. The people are entirely gracious and helpful in Bosnia and Herzegovina. I have volunteered places before, but never like this. I really didn’t know what to expect. We could not be having […]
