Unadilla 2010

Went back to Unadilla last weekend.  Working through my pics as fast as I can. Teaser for now – ‘I see you…’

Tuesday Nights @ Floyd Bennett Field – 7.27.2010

This week was even windier than last week.  But I want to focus on how expansive and empty this place is.  Really, it’s an abandoned airport runway… From Tuesday night, 7.27.2010 @ FBF.

Tuesday Nights @ Floyd Bennett Field

There really isn’t any break from the wind on an abandoned runway. From Tuesday night, 7.20.2010 @ FBF.

Massanutten Hoo Ha

Funny name, great race venue!  I covered it for cyclingnews.com.  The race report, with my photos, can be found here.  Sue also did a follow up piece with a few of my photos on Krista Park, who lives out of an RV!  How neat is that!?  (article is here.)  Sometimes I feel like I live [...]

This is Drifting – Formula D, NJ

This is drifting. Monster pic post from Formula D @ Wall, NJ.  Let’s go!

Are Philly Fans the Worst Fans in Sports?

Maybe. They threw snowballs at Santa Claus decades ago.  They vandalized a mobile broadcast booth recently.  And when I was there to photograph the TD Bank Philadelphia International Championships, I saw this:

Plattekill KHS Gravity Open – Pro GRT #2

Backtracking a bit, I shot the Plattekill KHS Gravity Open (Pro GRT #2) in May.  That’s a mouthful, eh? Camped overnight between the practice day and the finals. Getting good use out of the side of the Voncooper van.

Anatomy of a Crash: Evo VIII

I’m only posting this because the driver walked away fine. Sequence taken at NJMP during the Redline Time Attack in April, 2010.  Uphill right hander to apex, then downhill to track out.  My guess is the driver came in hot, lifted (lift throttle oversteer), the rear got light, spun, kissed the barrier. Ouch.

2010 Tour of the Gila Photos

Quick and dirty post this morning.  Finally had a chance to sort through some of the photos I took during the 5 stages of the 2010 Tour of the Gila.  Camping and photo editing don’t go together so well… First off, cheers to the event organizers for putting on a heck of an event.  Great [...]

EVO XIII, Meet the Barrier

Also from Sunday’s Redline Time Attack @ NJMP. No, that’s not going to end well… (the driver was okay.  The car, not so much).

All In

Here’s a snippet from a blog post by Bill Strickland of Bicycling Magazine, He’s all in, which was the only way he was ever going to get in. Most of us say we would do the same, given the chance. And that’s probably right. But you’re not given the chance. You have to go out [...]

Capitol Cross 2009

On Saturday the DC Metro area got between 2-3″ of snow, some suburbs registered a bit more.  Regardless, it made for a picturesque and MUDDY Capitol Cross 2009.  The USGP Finals were in Portland, OR this weekend as well – as much as I wanted to be out there, from what I was hearing (and [...]

Bonus Photo!

Forgot to add this as part of my Whitmore pics, so I’m giving it it’s own post. Jeremy Powers leading Tim Johnson.  I’m digging the colors, their expressions, and the fact that they’re both at the same point in their pedal strokes.

Redline Round 6 Photos In Print
Redline Round 6 Photos In Print

I mentioned it before, here, but that doesn’t make it any less exciting to see your own work in print.  So here are the scans of the article that my photos appear in from the November 09 issue of Performance Auto and Sound magazine (pasmag.com). Table of contents.  p104, that’s me! Big thanks to Laura [...]

Getting Caught Up

I feel it’s terribly cliche to whine about not being able to update one’s blog.  So call me cliche.  This is my ‘catching up’ post.  Catching up, as in, I’ve been really busy! October’s been a historically busy month, and October 2009 proved no different.  Packed up the car at the end of the month [...]

Unadilla Gallery Photos
Unadilla Gallery Photos

As I mentioned earlier, I approached the Unadilla MX facility to see if they’d like to host a gallery of my photos on their website.  They’ve agreed, and the photos should be published within the next week or two.  In the meantime, I’m making the same photos available to you, right now. Clicking on any [...]

Kaaterskill Falls and Gravity East at Plattekill
Kaaterskill Falls and Gravity East at Plattekill

This post is going to be long.  If you want the cliff notes version, here it is, taken from my Facebook status update – “My weekend by the numbers: 900 miles driven. 1/2 ton of stone and 1 shed moved. 2 waterfalls hiked. 1 bonfire attended. 500 photos taken. Countless beers drank. 9 hours slept [...]

New Lens, CP Finale, Gravity East

Lots happening in the last week for me.  Took delivery of a new lens… …and went and shot the final race of 2009 in Central Park on Saturday morning with it.  It was the CRCA Club Team Finale.  Good weather, good racing (though I hear there was an altercation after the race, boo!) and good [...]

Englishtown Photos Were Picked Up!

No new photo shoots recently as I’ve been on vacation.  However, I did get some fantastic news while I was away.  Redline Time Attack has picked my set of photos to be featured in a future issue of Performance Auto and Sound magazine!  I’m not sure what kind of lead time they work with, so [...]

Redline Time Attack at Englishtown
Redline Time Attack at Englishtown

It’s been an extremely busy week for me and there are no signs that things calm down any in the near future.  I guess that’s a good problem to have! I was granted a media pass to Round 6 of the Redline Time Attack @ Englishtown Raceway in NJ on Sunday, Aug 30th.  Saturday’s event, [...]
