BMW Magazine Shoot

I did a recent shoot for BMW Magazine at the BMW Performance Center in Greer, SC. The subject was Jim Millard who is a driving instructor at the center. We shot an early morning portrait under very cloudy skies and then went to the track. On the track I shot this photo with an “older” camera triggered by a remote. Jim was demonstrating drifting which is going through a curve without slowing and turning the tires and pretty much sliding through the curve. He’s an excellent driver as he did this maneuver flawlessly over and over until we got the photos needed.

The Economy or the Menu?

I pass by this closed burger joint most days and finally decided to shoot a quick photo with my phone. I don’t think most of us southerners were ready for New York burgers. The photo quality isn’t quite there, but it kind of fits the subject.

A Garden Web

Being a photographer makes you notice things, I guess, that others might miss sometime. I saw this spider web with the dew this morning in the garden next to our house. I went and got an extender for my macro lens and the sun was hitting it at a good time when I shot it. Btw – I think it was dew or it could have been from the sprinkler. Dew makes the photo a little more artistic so I’m sticking with that story.
