I got the chance to shoot another NHRA race this past weekend with Mark Rebilas up at Bandimere Speedway in Denver, CO. I’ve been to Colorado before to cover some rock crawling events and the scenery up there is great, so I was looking forward to shooting there again.
2011 BITD Parker 425
One of the best offroad races of the year just went down in Parker, AZ. The BITD Parker 425 is a favorite among racers and fans alike. From the qualifying session on Thursday, and the racing action all day Saturday, Parker always delivers great racing, and great photography.
2011 Desert Season Has Begun
Almost two months ago I crashed my quad over Thanksgiving and suffered a concussion, broke rib, and a fractured L2 vertebrate. Because of that I had to miss two races in December, making it the first time in a long time that I didn’t shoot anything for over a full month. Instead I was out of working, laying in bed, unable to pick my own son up from his crib.
My Best Photos of 2010
2010 has been a great year for me and my family. My amazing wife Jamie and I have seen our son turn into a blob of a baby to a growing young man. Its crazy how fast time flies by and watching him grow up and being a parent with Jamie has been the best part of the year. I also turned 30 this year, celebrated our two year wedding anniversary, crashed my quad and broke a vertebrate, went to Kauai, and once again went to a lot of great locations to do what I love, photography.
NHRA – Sledgehammer to the Chest
This past November I had the opportunity to help out photographer and friend Mark Rebilas at the NHRA Finals at the Auto Club Raceway in Pomona, CA. Surprisingly this would be the first time that I’d shoot anything that wasn’t on dirt, so I was excited to shoot something new and different. My biggest challenge would be never having even been to a drag racing event, getting used to the schedule of how things are run. Little did I know my biggest challenge would be getting used to a Top Fuel car going by me at 200+ mph only 6 feet from me.
2010 Over The Hump Series #9
After a week off I was back at it again shooting the Over The Hump Race Series out at Irvine Lake. I missed last weeks race because of Lucas’s first birthday falling on the same day. For that we head up to Long Beach and hung out at the Aquarium of the Pacific. I was excited to get back out there and shoot and see what new sections OTH added to the course.
