On another note, I should mention that I also have the cover of the current (new) issue for Sept/Oct 2008 of RoadRacerX. Woohoo!
You should check out this issue though, lots of good stuff within! More updates later...

18 Years Ago Today - Ben Spies On The Cover
I'll have my site updated with images from Road Atlanta this weekend. This is a small update to celebrate my 18 anniversary of my immigration to the United States. I arrived here late afternoon on September 5, 1990 loaded with only four suitcases and a $20 bill my Mum gave me so I would have some money to buy a coffee when I got here. 18 years I have been here with the most beautiful girl in my world. I love you.

Cover Shot - Roger Hayden - RoadRacerX March/April 2008
Readers! A double post today, first, I just wanted to do a "self-toot" to let folks know that this year is starting off with a bang for me as another one of my images graces the cover of another magazine. This time on the cover of March and April's 2008 RoadRacerX. The picture is of Roger Hayden taken at Daytona during the tyre tests in late November, early December...I really do like the green wheels....At least a #1 is still retained in the Hayden family camp for 2008, with Nicky losing the #1 to Casey Stoner in MotoGP.

And Now For Something Completely Different..
Finally! I can say something!
This really thrilled me. My personal goal with my job as a photographer has been to try and get the word to folks outside of the motorcycle racing world to maybe come to a race. Watch some good solid entertainment, meet the race fans that attend and see how friendly (sometimes not quietly so) they are, and how much pleasure can be had for such a small outlay. I've been trying to get that message across to those who haven't been "converted". Imagine my thrill when I was contacted by PhotoShop User Magazine and was asked to be their featured photographer in their magazine! What a thrill, a non motorcycle industry magazine wants to showcase my work, which in turn puts those images in front of many many people, many of whom might not have even seen a race bike. Imagine my (even bigger) thrill, when I was told they wanted to use one of my images for the cover!
So here it is. One of my all time favourites, a shot taken at the California Speedway, of Eric Bostrom back in 2005 when he rode with Ducati. For me I have always thought that it had a science fiction quality to it, but with it rich colours, the placement of the hands, and the blown out spectator in the uncropped version (inside the magazine) it has a "Man Who Fell To Earth" quality to it IMO.
What a way to start the year!
