Sorry about the delay in getting back to these, it has been a pretty wild month here. Continuing on from where we finished up in part two, this post will begin from arguably the most exotic event and venue I had the privilage to shoot in 2010. The Paul Ricard HTTT circuit is like no [...]

What a year. Just what an incredible year it has been. To think, in January of this year I was still working behind the counter of a local Blockbuster dreaming of a life beyond and just twelve months later I'm looking back at what, without any question, has been the greatest year of my life. [...]
