Faster in Red

This car screams zoom zoom even when it is sitting still. What this car might not have in actual speed it absolutely makes up for in Italian style.

The Underground

There seems to be a bit of excitement around London the last few days, so I dug one of my shots of the city out of the archive and processed it. Night photos like this always take awhile to setup, and this one was no exception as I had to wait for a group of friends to sort out their way home while teetering on the top of these steps. Ultimately they make a good decision to take the tube instead of driving, and more importantly they get out of my shot!

Zooming on Through!

I feel like I’m zooming through the week with the greatest of ease!

Straight Up Mercedes-Benz

You will often see a Mercedes-Benz on the road today, but not like this one. This rare 1936 Mercedes-Benz 540 K Mayfair Special Roadster is the only one of its kind. I don’t think it will be cruising the open road any time soon as it looks quite comfortable under the museum lights.

Flying Lady

The old Cadillac was very cool, but I wanted to focus on just the hood ornament. Going for a macro shot meant I could really make it look like she was flying.

Fast and Fashionably Furious

This might not be the kind of Fast and Furious that is all the rage these days, but I’m still fully on board. If I had the opportunity to drive this Ferrari I might just take it to a screening of the latest installment of the infamous movie franchise.

Super Deluxe

I think the details on antique cars can be the best part.

Bridge Streak

A car zips by on the Charlestown Bridge. I had to find something to give this old bridge a little more action, and the traffic flowing by fit perfectly.


Night Driving

This is a project I’ve wanted to do for a while. The idea is simple but the execution can be a little more difficult. I mounted my camera with a wide angle lens between the seats of my car. With the manual exposure set and a remote shutter release in my hand I was off to the races, or at least the city streets. I had a little help from my trusty assistant to fire a flash inside the car manually during some of the exposures. My first attempt was with 3.2 sec exposures, and I liked the results. I’ll play around with varying the time next, so I either get blur, or more sharp context for what is going on outside the car.

After taking a ton of photos driving around looking for lights, I decided what I had would work well as a video. So here you go, not only a photo but also a video I put together of the shots from the evening!

The astute viewer will also notice a little subtle advertising!
