My interest in motorsports photography was a natural combination of my background in sports photography – shooting various levels of professional and amateur soccer for Eurosport and ACC events in the Triangle for school papers – and my new-found passion for racing.
In 2003, I purchased a BMW 6-series coupe and with the urging of a friend, began a journey that eventually led to me building a dedicated race car. Sprint racing means spending long hours at the track with lots of downtime. It only seemed logical that I take my camera along and camp-out off one of the corners and experiment with whatever rounded the bend.
