After taking two months off for the birth of our second child, our daughter Quinn, it was back to business as usual with the BITD Parker 425 race. I always enjoy shooting this race because it marks the beginning of another season, and the race itself is always fun to shoot. The different terrain, the long laps, and large entries always make for some interesting photos. The best place for photos though is always during qualifying at the race. With so many unlimited entries teams are going all out to try and qualify towards the top.
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.
Chasing the 2010 SCORE Baja 1000 – My Story
For this years SCORE Baja 1000 my assignment was to chase the McMillin Racing team. My usual cohort was the legendary Scott Smith of Paradigm Productions, and our buddy Johnny “The Slayer” Rukkas. We headed down Wednesday morning to get down there before contingency started so that we made sure we caught them rolling through tech. Luckily for us, around 5:45am Scott got a text from Beau of McMillin Racing asking when we were headed down. Beau was already sitting in line waiting for tech to start in the #31 Trophy Truck, so we knew first thing when we got there we’d be able to catch them.
