This time of year is always fun to look back.
Wonderful reminders of all the fun and friends-
good times all over the place.

But, I'm constantly reminded of how I can get distracted-
I'll go to an archive to pull a shot for a print or whatever
and totally forget where I am for hours...

Everything is a bit too much,
so I've been adding to a new gallery on the fly-
random shots that come into view for one reason or another.
For me it's nearly a 'dear diary' look at my days...

Just wanted to take a second to come up for air...
this was a weekend I ain't gonna forget for a long time.

I just have to stop and shout out some thanks to all my friends and sponsors...
the people who have become lifelong friends and have helped and advised me
in ways that enable me to continue covering these beasts we all love.

There's a growing list, but I want to especially recognize Bobthebuilder and my buds in FMO
where I figured out quick this was a scene to be a part of.

And some very special thanks to Rick Mackie at Mercury Racing,
and my friends Todd and Nick at Statement Marine
for their continuing support.

In my view, industry leaders and innovators I am proud to call friends. 2013 is gonna be great!

Speaking of innovations...
you will see them in Miami.

Your pics never cease to AMAZE me!! Keep em comin! LOVE this one! I just want to know how you snapped that one?

Thank you- that shot was one that I knew as I was shooting it would be special.

They weren't quite as close as it looks and were playing with the drives for me-
I was shooting off the back of Bob's Nor-Tech.
Frank had been hoping for another classic shot like this one of Warrior from a couple years earlier.

The man loves him some quad 50 Nor-Techs.

From deep in the archives, spring '07, PRA Sarasota in Charlotte Harbor.
There were condos under construction at the point-
and I managed to get a 3rd floor balcony perch.
Different gear back then, I can sure tell a diff in quality.

Still, a fantastic day.
