Earlier this week I went down to the El Toro Marine base in Irvine, CA to take photos of two of the Ford drivers practice for X Games. Watching Marcus Grönholm in action was amazing, and getting to ride shotgun with him during a practice run was even better. You can see all of the photos over at Autoblog.

Earlier this week I headed down to Hennessey Performance’s SoCal shop in Irvine, CA. They had just installed a new Edelbrock supercharger system in a Corvette Z06 (the first one, I’m told), and needed photos of both the car and the engine bay. Follow the jump to see a few pictures from the photoshoot.

Just got word from the great folks at Kahn Media that one of my photos was featured on the cover of Robb Report’s Collection in the August 2011 issue. This one came as a surprise, since I took the photo in September of last year. The photoshoot was originally done for Classic Recreations, the builder of the car.

After spending three days in Virginia City, NV as one of the official photographers for the Spectre 341 Challenge, this is just about the first set of photos I’ve seen published from the event. Car and Driver’s Aaron Robinson was in attendance and drove a Cadillac CTS-V Wagon up the 5.2 mile course, and I managed to get several photos of him tackling the hill. You can see the photos and the story at Car and Driver’s web site.

Back in April Singer Vehicle Design hired me again to take photos of their second customer car. I don’t think the White and Olive paint scheme is as photogenic as the previous Green and Orange car, but it’s beautiful nonetheless. To make it even better, Singer was going to have both cars on hand so I would have the opportunity to photograph them together.
With Singer issuing their press release regarding the new customer car and their partnership with Cosworth, the photos have now appeared on many of the leading automotive web sites around the world including Autoblog, Autocar, and Top Gear:
Hopefully the images will be in print in the next few months.

It’s always interesting to see which photos are selected for publication in a magazine. For the most part, I’ve always felt 5.0 Mustang & Super Fords has done an excellent job in choosing the photographs for an article as well organizing them on the page in an attractive manner. When I see an article with my photographs for the first time, almost always I like which photos they chose and how the article is laid out.
For the recent feature on the Raceskinz Mustang, however, I was disappointed by the absence of one particular photo, seen above. It was by far my photograph I took of the car, and one that was a mix of good timing and a bit of luck. I was sad that it didn’t make it in to the magazine, but at least you can see it here! Follow the jump for another bonus photo.

First off, let me just say that drag strips are not my favorite places to photograph cars, at least in California. They just aren’t photogenic. But where else are you going to photograph a 2,500 horsepower Mustang built to pull off six second 1/4 mile runs? The one redeeming factor are the burnout and wheelie shots, the latter of which I was hoping would be used a lead or even a cover shot. Alas, they went with the standard front 3/4 photo, and I can’t really complain. Besides, another one of my photos made it on the cover of the September issue anyway.
The photos aren’t exactly portfolio-worthy, but they got the job done and look good in the magazine. Follow the jump to see screen shots of the whole article.

The September 2011 issue of 5.0 Mustang & Super Fords came out today, and I was fortunate enough to have my photo selected for the cover. The car is a 2011 Mustang 5.0 built by a company called Raceskinz. I first saw the car at SEMA last year, and it was by far my favorite Mustang at the show. Originally I had done a photoshoot of the car without any driving shots, but I knew the car was cover-worthy, so I set up another time to photograph the car in action. Thankfully, the extra effort was rewarded. Follow the jump to see screen shots of the complete article.
