I was born a long time ago, grew up in the blue ridge mountains playing in creeks and ponds. Worked for the family poultry farm after high school. We took care of baby chicks from one day old to eighteen weeks of age, the age when a chicken starts to lay eggs.
We raised 200,000 babies a year for many years.  My brother and I closed the doors on raising baby chickens, as it was hard to be a small family farm anymore.

 So became Racer Art Photographic. I started going to the Indy 500 in the eighties and as a camera buff I would take my Canon A1 along with its motor-drive that took 12 AA batteries to wind the film. I still love that camera by the way.
 My passion for racing came a long time ago when I decided to go racing, two wheel style. A few friends and I packed up our bikes and headed to a Moto-X track in Appomattox VA (SME) to race. Race we did, first moto I was dead last, moto 2, I got the hang of it and was doing well running mid pack, when I went for a pass over a steeep jump, not the best place to pass! I landed on my arse with the bike right between my legs,  still hanging on to the handlebar, it broke the fender and seat off my YZ, and after the dust settle... I heard an old man on the other side of the fence saying...  THAT CAT WASN'T LOSING NO TIME!
So my Moto-X profession continued for many years.

 I got better at the MX thing as I now have a few pieces of hardware to show for it.

I got into the photog thing years ago, before lawyer and big chain link fences you know, when Racing was Dangerous and Sex was Safe! You could buy a photopass at the track for 200 bucks, those days are long gone by the way. But that led to people wanting images and well it just grew. I started going to more races, meeting more people. I've shot CART, AMA Superbike and MX, ALMS, Speed World Challenge, Mazda Pro Series, Pro/Am MotoX as well as RC cars. If it goes fast I Likkkke it. I am currently shooting for Volkswagen and there Jetta TDI Cup Series. I've gone from the smoke of 2 stroke to low emission/quite bio Green Racing, WOW! how things change...
