Photographer in Perth, Western Australia.
The auto trade and dealership life put the food on the table and keep a roof over my head, but I've been trackside with a camera in hand for over 20 years now. Motorsport, event, landscape and travel photography keeps the fire burning.

Last night was just another Wednesday night at the Perth Motorplex - until it wasn't.
Our regularly scheduled off-street drag racing and burnout program was cut short by a summer storm that brought hail, thunder and lightning.
Thankfully I ended up with a photo I'm pretty happy with out of it all - all handheld and no lighting trigger involved.

A few weeks ago, we packed up the family and headed down to a spot on the banks of Wellington Dam. Almost completely off-grid (not quite out of mobile range, but getting there)
Always a great time when we get away with this crew, and this was no exception.

Wait a second...
There's no algo feed here, right? So there's no algo penalty for posting low engagement content? You don't lose visibility if you want to rant about how burritos are inferior to other tortilla-encased foods, or if you share a photo of a flower you like.
My god. It's like a dream. We're living the social media dream, Mastoblasters!
The Sourdough Saloon in Beatty, Nevada, is one of the closest watering holes to Death Valley and a favourite haunt of many of the engineering and test driver teams that visit the valley to test and calibrate vehicles in the extremes of that unique climate.
Many of these teams leave parts of the cars they have tested behind on the walls of the bar and many other visitors sign bank notes and post them on the walls as well
Back in 2009, I bought a car off eBay from Nevada, had it shipped to my brothers place in San Jose, California and flew in from Perth, Western Australia to drive it around the Bay area while I was in town for my brothers wedding.
This is that car, a 1970 Cadillac Fleetwood 75 Formal Sedan, photographed on that 2009 trip outside one of eBay's San Jose offices.
Thanks for the tip - due to the combination of chronological feeds and local vs federated, I'd probably never have seen his work... going and checking it out now...
@getrealjc This is on the list for the next road trip, whenever that may be... :)
Won't spoil the question for others - but yes, very famous mail box :)
