The car was created by Bill Sadler in 1957 and was

later restored in 1988. Mr Abendroth restored it

again in 2004.

Event notes:

This day is not complete without marching up the

hill to the corkscrew. I shot mostly with a medium

zoom lens, and some with a 500mm hand held!

(Yes a tripod would have been better). I used

a fast shutter AND a panning technique.

In roaming around the paddock area, look for cars

of interest(like the Chapparels). When

Champ Car comes back to this track, be on the lookout for

your favorite drivers!

Haagen Dazs has become a tradition before

heading to the parking lot.

The Bixby Bridge.

On the California Coast!

McWay Falls (Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park).

Travel Notes: Highway One.

I wasn't gonna leave without this shot...so I kept driving. On the way back

I got a BETTER shot of the bridge! I left the racetrack early

for this to happen. No music...just total driving concentration!

But when driving home...Herbie Hancock has got the

groove!

These images will soon be available in the JRC!

On Weddings

Weddings are a special occasion in which you must

pay attention to detail. It is important to know

it is the Bride and Groom's special day. Being

flexible and having the ability to get along

is mandatory! You must possess a knowledge

of the classic, as well as the creative approach
to photographing a wedding. Above all:

be ready for the out of the ordinary moments!
