Hi Friends, I had a rare opportunity to photograph a pair of Mustangs this past weekend: one, a classic 1947 North American P-51D (“Lady Alice”) – doubtless one of the finest aircraft ever built; and the other, a 2012 Ford BOSS 302–one of the finest muscle cars on the planet.

A few teaser images from a senior portrait shoot this week. Tom’s an avid street hockey player and a rabid Anaheim Ducks fan, so we wanted to capture some of that passion in his portrait session.

Zoom zoom! My good friend, Booker, will be photographing the upcoming prestigious Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance for Garage Style Magazine. In preparation, we thought we’d get in a little practice shooting moving vehicles-car to car, as it were.
