Shutter Speed: More racing, new friends, better images and more death

January 7, 2010

I was encouraged by Harvey Hudes to show my images around to anyone that would look at them. I decided I’d blow up my favourites and build a portfolio.

The history of Vanwall

September 16, 2008

August 28, 2008

Phil Hill has passed away… There I said it, something I hoped never would cross my lips. There are some great men who we wish would never leave us, and possibly Phil Hill is just such a man and because of his many legendary accomplishments just maybe he never will. Anyone that knows anything [...]

Wall candy: International Racing Colours GP Engines

May 1, 2008
