I’ve spent the last few days compiling Autoblog’s Top 100 Photos of 2011, a little over half of them were taken by me. You can check them out here.

I recently photographed a 2012 Jaguar XF Supercharged for an upcoming review on Autoblog.com. This image is a little sneak preview of what’s to come.

Last month I drove out to Phoenix, AZ to photograph a really interesting car, the Local Motors Rally Fighter. You can see the photos and read more about the car over at Autoblog.com.

For the last few weeks I’ve been driving around the Autoblog Long-Term Mini Countryman. With the exception of its crazy price tag ($38,000) and fairly small cargo area, it’s a fantastic little car. You can check out the photos and my thoughts on the car over at Autoblog.

I’ve been taking pictures of cars long enough that it takes a really good photo to get me excited, and usually I know I’m capturing that photo as I’m looking through the viewfinder. This photo of a Lexus LFA was one of those. As we were doing the driving shots down a long, deserted road, the sun was just setting behind the car and I knew it was going to be a great photo.

The rest of the photoshoot turned out pretty good as well, despite the fact that the LFA was black. Not that black cars don’t look good – in fact, it might just be the best looking color – but it’s a pain to bring out the detail in the car without making it look gray. I probably spent a good 24 hours editing the images to get everything right. It was definitely worth it, though, as I think it’s one of the best galleries I’ve ever put together for Autoblog.

You can check out all of the photos as well as the review here.

My photos of the 2011 Ford Mustang RTR have been published on Autoblog.com, and I happened to write the review on the car as well. You can check it out here.

Photos from this past weekend’s Formula Drift event at Irwindale Speedway have been posted over at Autoblog.com.

Last month I picked up the Autoblog.com long-term 2011 Volkswagen Jetta TDI. The car is in Autoblog’s possession for the next six months or so, and it had just arrived from Detroit. I was not only tasked with photographing the car, but it would be my ride up to the Monterey car week. I love the diesel engine in the car – it provided the fuel economy of a Prius while delivering the driving experience of a normal car – and I only had to fill up once the entire week. I didn’t love the interior, however. The seats were made from a fake leather that felt terrible to the touch, and many of the materials in the car felt cheap. The diesel engine just about makes up for it, though.

You can see the entire set of VW Jetta TDI photos over at Autoblog.com.

I photographed this 2012 Roush RS3 Mustang back in April, and the photos have finally been published. I happened to also write the review, so head over to Autoblog.com to find out more about the car and to see the pictures.
