As I gear up for this coming weekend’s Formula Drift event at Wall, NJ I decided to take a look back at the first year that I shot the event in 2007. Not a lot has changed in terms of the track, but the driver lineup sure has. Anyone in attendance that year will recall the exciting battle between Chris Cook and Samuel Hubinette. Samuel was trying his luck in a Dodge Charger that had been fitted with a V10 V8 engine, while Chris Cook was still getting used to the V8 V10… click for full post

I normally don’t have a chance to break out my 85mm fixed lens during motorsports events. Things are constantly moving, and switching lenses can lose valuable time down in the paddock. I decided to go for it during the Formula Drift event at Road Atlanta and came away with a few interesting portraits while the drivers were doing their autograph session. Have a look after the jump and let me know what you think.

As mentioned in my From the Archive post a few weeks ago, I was recently down in Braselton for this year’s Formula Drift event at Road Atlanta. My coverage is up now at Auto Import Craze, so be sure to head over there to see the full set. Below are a few of my favorite shots from the weekend, but I plan to put up others in the coming days, including a behind the lens how-to post. As McNally would say, more tk…… click for full post

The 2010 Formula Drift event at Road Atlanta just wrapped up this past weekend, and as always I had a blast. The above photo is from 2008 (my last before we move into this year’s hard earned cheddar) and shows Kenji Yamanaka having a little fun during the driver introductions. At each event, the top 16 drivers that make it to the final bracket of competition are brought out in front of the crowd, and as each name is called, they give a wave or jump on their car. Kenji decided to take this to the next… click for full post

From the archive is a series that I plan to run every week on Mondays from here on out. It will help to fill the blog when there is some down time, and also allow me to reflect on past photos or events. I thought I would start things off with a short reflection on Formula Drift at Road Atlanta as I gear up for the upcoming 2010 event this weekend. Unlike ALMS style racing, you have to pick your vantage points wisely when it comes to drifting. If you are at the wrong spot, you’ll catch… click for full post

It’s time to close the book on 2009 as I look ahead to 2010. I was privileged to work with Performance Auto and Sound magazine on the Formula Drift Wall, NJ event, and the coverage went to print in the Oct. issue (shown above). I’ve noticed that some magazine racks run a little behind schedule, so be sure to check your local Borders or B&N just in case there’s a few of these still around.
Click past the fold to see some of my favorite shots from the weekend.

Apologies guys – it turns out the 400 or so photos I’ve been churning on will take a little longer. In the meantime, enjoy a few highlights from the race after the jump.

Just wanted to throw up a little teaser before I get some sleep after a long day in the rain at Road Atlanta. I won’t give away anything for those who still haven’t emptied their DVRs, but needless to say it was quite a race this year. Check back on Monday for a full recap.

So you’ve seen the crash, and you’ve seen my view from the grandstands. But what about the other 198 laps of the race? Follow the jump to see some of my other favorite shots for this past year’s Indy 500.

Sometimes you’re just in the right place, at the right moment, and you see an event unfolding right before your eyes. It’s very surreal, and there’s this sense of awe that first wants to bubble up from inside you. If you let it come to the surface, it will already be too late, and that moment will be gone. The only thing to do is not think, shove the camera against your face and pull the trigger as fast as possible. After it is over, the sensation of “did that just happen” will return, and… click for full post
