Hi folks, and wow have we had fun around here lately!
The three days of IMSA at Road America were fantastic with my friends at Action Express and Whelen Racing getting the win.
Drivers Pipo Derani and Philipe Nasr with the team led by Tim Keene got it done and won! Very happy for them and well deserved.
Had a great time with Pipo and the team in between shooting a ton of photos which is why this blog has 2 parts. The second half will be coming up next.
The photos here are mostly of Friday and Saturday but a couple are of the victory celebration. I had to show Pipo being tossed into his crew in the winners circle. Good thing they caught him!
After the racing on the evening of August 10th we got a huge storm in our neighborhood here in Brookfield, Wisconsin. Trees took out the power wires a few doors down and tore the power pole off of our house and we had no power for four days. Thankful that we have a generator but the power surge blew a lot of appliances and we are still trying to figure things out. VERY thankful the surge protector in the office here did it's job saving the computers and hard drives.
Haven't had enough time to edit everything yet because of the storm but enjoy these photos and more are coming soon.
Be safe everyone.
Thanks,

Writing this blog a bit earlier than the usual release date because of the IMSA weekend at Road America August 6, 7 and 8th. I'm just crazy busy lately and I'll be photographing at Road America all weekend!
This blog is on the Millers at Milwaukee and the Vintage Indy Registry guys that came along July 9th and 10th to the Milwaukee Mile. At night on those two days, I was photographing Trace Adkins and then Cheap Trick. About 3500 images later I was done and tired!
So, here are a ton of photos of some great old cars that speak for themselves rather than me writing about them. They are cool cars for sure and it's amazing that some drove 500 miles at Indy!!
I stuffed an 8 foot ladder into my Acura MDX to get a different view of the grid. We usually do it from the starter stand. This time I put the ladder at the start/finish line and climbed up for a few shots.
Thanks,

The weekend of July 9 and 10 was a busy one for me! I photographed two concerts at Gathering On the Green and vintage racing at The Milwaukee Mile.
Friday and Saturday it was the vintage Miller Indy Cars with the Vintage Indy Reserve cars at the Milwaukee Mile. Then at night, it was country music on Friday with Trace Adkins with Matt Wynn opening the show for Gathering On The Green in Mequon, WI.
Saturday night was the band 52nd Street opening for Cheap Trick.
A grand total of a TON of photos and editing is what that means! Yes, it was fun but I didn't touch a camera or computer on Sunday!! Not a lot of sleep or rest Friday or Saturday. Time with my wonderful wife and relax on Sunday. Began the big editing job on Monday and it took a few days.
Have a look at Matt Wynn and Trace Adkins from a great show Friday night for Gathering On The Green at Rotary Park in Mequon. It's a beautiful outdoor venue. Check them out for future shows and next year's big weekend I'm sure will be awesome as usual.
What Gathering On The Green does for the community here in Mequon, WI and the area is great! They even had a raffle for a Fender Squire guitar autographed by Trace Adkins!! Please support them with their continuing shows and projects.
Thanks,
