This blog is about a legendary car at Road America in 1973, the Shadow Can Am car driven by Jackie Oliver and James Hunt.

Don Nichols, the main man of Team Shadow and UOP (Universal Oil Products) Racing in 1973 just passed away a short time ago which is why these photos came to mind.

I dug these photos up a while ago for some people who were restoring the car. It recently sold for big money!

The interesting thing to me is that James Hunt is in the car in the one photo.  I suspect he spent a fair amount of time at Siebkens that weekend back in May 1973!

Enjoy a look at a fantastic racing machine.

Thanks,

Hope everyone is having a fun and busy summer like me.  There's too much going on and not enough time for fishing!

Musician Tim Weisberg's administrative assistant contacted me about some of my photos that I did in 1977 in Madison, Wisconsin of Tim and Dan Fogelberg.

Thank you to them for the compliments on these old photos of a good and very intimate show. The venue was very small.

I remember sitting cross legged on the floor for most of the show! It was like they were playing in your living room.

This was during the time period when Twin Brothers of Different Mothers was released by the guys. That was great music.

Tim is still playing and sadly, we lost Dan in 2007.

Enjoy a look at an intimate little show by two master musicians.

Thanks,

Last weekend was a busy and fun weekend at Road America with some crazy weather!

Friday it poured and looked like rain the whole weekend.

Sunday's race was awesome as Pipo Deroni and his teammates in the Nissan Tequila Patron car won! Pipo did the win with an amazing restart of the race with about half an hour left.

Congrats to James French who clinched his championship in the PC category at his home track!

Thanks to the Final Inspection show at 105.7fm and check out the guy with the Michelin Bibendum mascot!

Enjoy a look at some of the 1400 photos I took!

I was on the starters stand for the start of Sunday's race and the flyover with the planes looks awesome with the contrasting, rainy sky!

Thanks,

Another fun, but crazy week of photography!!

Here is Roger Waters of Pink Floyd at a show here in Milwaukee this past Saturday night.

I was allowed to photograph songs #2, 3 and 7! These songs were, One of These Days, Time, and Deja Vu. Usually, it is always the first three songs I get to photograph so this was a bit strange. After song #7, we photographers were escorted out!

Rock'n' roll is different every day but check out a great show that I saw a bit of.

It will be two weeks until my next blog because of Road America is next weekend,  3 days of IMSA racing fun!

Enjoy a bit of Roger Waters.

Thanks,

Wow!! I need more time in life and a minion to help me out! I'm a busy photographer in addition to regular life stuff.  It's all good though.

This past weekend was Gathering On The Green in Mequon.  Rob Kos and his crew do such a great job of putting this together.

Friday night was Michael McDonald and then Kenny Loggins!! During each of their sets, one came out to play with the other which made for a great show.

Saturday, you had to be a young one to know who Daya was but check her out!  She's very good and I was impressed with the young girl!!!

Enjoy and I have to get back to editing this fun weekend! Here is a bit of it with more to come.

Thanks,
