Antartica: the 7th continent
Antarctica is the coldest, windiest, and driest continent on Earth, and it’s also the most remote. Despite these harsh conditions, it’s a destination that attracts thousands of visitors each year. The best time to visit Antarctica is during the summer months of December to February, when the weather is slightly warmer and the days are longer. To get to Antarctica, most visitors will fly from Punta Arenas, Chile, to King George Island, where they will board a cruise ship for the journey to the continent. The ship will navigate through the Drake Passage, which can be rough and is known for its high winds and waves. Once in Antarctica, visitors will have the opportunity to see a wide variety of wildlife, including penguins, seals, and whales. They will...

A day at the track
A couple weeks ago, I went to Laguna Seca in Monterey, CA to photograph a private track day for a group of Porsche enthusiasts. The track event was organized by a PCA local club and featured all types of drivers. Among the drivers were first-timers, intermediates or even very experienced drivers (from BR Racing for example). They gave me unlimited access, which was amazing for the pictures. Obviously you have to enjoy cars, the high octane gas smell and the noise of race cars (which was a bit muted that day due to noise regulations in effect). For a photographer, it was great to be able to be track-side and really practice my craft. I always enjoy those special, challenging “assignments” as it forces me to step out of my comfort zone and make mistakes...
Case Study House #22: The Stahl house
Recently, I went to Los Angeles and one of the pre-planned visits (besides the Porsche Experience Center and the Petersen Museum) was the Stahl house. The Stahl house was part of the Case Study Houses program and has been on the cover of many magazines. It’s a glass-wall house with an incredible view of Los Angeles. To be honest, I did not know much about the case study houses, so here what Wikipedia says about it: “The Case Study Houses were experiments in American residential architecture sponsored by Arts & Architecture magazine, which commissioned major architects of the day, including Richard Neutra, Raphael Soriano, Craig Ellwood, Charles and Ray Eames, Pierre Koenig, Eero Saarinen, A. Quincy Jones, Edward Killingsworth, and Ralph Rapson to...
The Porsche Effect
Last weekend I finally went to the exhibit of the Petersen Museum: The Porsche Effect. It is a superb exhibit, there is a couple of very rare cars like this Gmund 356, the last one built in Austria owned by Jeff Zwart. There are incredible pieces of history on display, like the ledgers used by early Porsche engineers to record their tasks. Some of the racing cars on display were not at Rennsport, so it’s cool to see them up close (but not like Rennsport, no peeking inside). PCA gets a full section of the exhibit with rare badges, some early club creation papers and one club coupe on display. I have voluntarily not put up a lot of pictures because you should go. The exhibit runs until April 21st, 2019. The rest of the museum is also extremely interesting,...
