An editor's note beginning this story. As a person who's had the privilege of enjoying and spectating at a number of motorsports over the years with the talented photographer who graces this page today, it's been an absolute pleasure watching the evolution of the images he's been able to capture.
A good photographer isn't their gear, it's about how their brain works. How they seem to instinctively know when to take a step forward or back, or maybe off to the side to get the image they want framed in camera just right. It's about how they're able to move carefully among all the many and varied moving parts in an active pit or paddock situation, get the shot, and stay mindful enough to stay out of the way of everyone who's working so hard to get the show going.
And most importantly, it's about the stories they're able to tell in a single image.
