Holy crap did you see that boat crash!! Wow!
Let me know when you head to Goodwood Ray, I am coming with you, that
would be my first choice of events to cover, well maybe a tie with the
Italian GP at Monza (right now I'd settle for tricycle races at RMR, 1
whole month of new camera and not motorsports pics on it, sad)

I was just instructed to check out the drag photos from Bakersfield
earlier this year
http://markjrebilas.com/blog/?p=3236 Unreel! You gotta see the shot
of the funny car blowing its body hundreds of feet in the air
(according to Rebilas.) I'm not much of a drag racing fan, but I
found that some of the shots here with the chutes open were VERY
aesthetically pleasing. And they were purdy, too.
I don't think many of us really like to see crashes, especially
dangerous or senseless ones, but Rebilas seems to have his finger on
the pulse of the great unwashed sheeple who go to races to swill beer
and wait for the next crash. As a result he's come up with a "best
crashes of 2008" section:

When Doc Freud is favorably impressed, over and over again, I listen
to what he has to say. He's teaching me a lot, and the Rebilas blog
entries are a great place to learn.
I thought I saw where he was named Motorsports Photographer of the
year, but I couldn't seem to find it again.
Ohhh...one more thing. I found out from my German friend Pork Pie
that one of my photos was the cover shot for a magazine in the UK
called Fast Facts. He tells me there's a large ad for me and my
photographic services. Huh! News to me. 'Course the likelihood of
me covering events in Britain are sorta slim, but I'd love to
Goodwood for the Festival of Speed. Maybe if a Brit team comes to
the salt I can have an in to shoot for them. I finally got an order
for a CD from the French Canucks and their Saltmobile. Can't
complain about that. It could even buy me half a flash unit. :)
Ok...that's all the news that's fit to print.

ps. My fanciful bio on target550 was approved. I guess I'll have to
start coming up with stories about living as a sewer rat. :)
