In all the years I’ve chased Ivan "Iron Man" Stewart and his Toyota truck across the deserts of Mexico and the South West, he always told me that the next time I was hovering over him in my helicopter that he would put on a show for me… that is if he wasn’t in the lead with the race on the line. The problem was that every time I would find Ivan out on the race course, he was in the lead. Still, he was gracious enough to hold pose with me at a buck.20 for this shot. My pilot mounted a 35mm camera with a fish-eye lens looking backwards out the open door and over my shoulder.

I have always worked extremely hard at my career as a shooter; yet my job has always remained fun, exciting, entertaining, rewarding, enlightening, liberating, strengthening, and sometimes frightening and even tragic… Pretty much everything but boring.

Here is a collection of images that a few friends, colleagues, and even some total strangers have taken of me that represents a small slice of what my job, and my life have been like.
