THE FLAG DROPS...

Hello,

We are working on my DVD, which will be a combination of stills and 16mm movie footage, which I shot in 1953 and 1954. Working title is THE FLAG DROPS---it promises to be a fun product and I will have more info the closer it gets to being finished. We were hoping to have it for Christmas but that may be problematical.

Jose Gonzalez and his helmet...

Jose Froilan Gonzalez and Juan Fangio came from the same country, Argentina. I took many pictures of Fangio but few of Gonzalez. I came across this black and white shot of Mr G. at Reims in the mid 1950s as he waited in the Reims pits to take his Ferrari out onto the track.

Years later I found myself at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in the late 1990s and here he was again in my camera viewfinder. The same man with the same helmet but only a bit more battered. He is in the BRM Grand Prix car that was one of his favorite steeds.

My first blog post...

Hello, this is my first effort to join the blog world. Thanks to my assistant, Larry, who has pushed me to make the big jump.

Yesterday I gave a brief talk to a group of high school students

about my work. I was able to show them a few prints and it was

great fun. I do not do this very often but it was great to see the

excitement and enthusiasm for photography.

My advice was shoot pictures all the time-have that camera ready!
