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...

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...

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...

This was my third Rennsport Reunion and like the previous Rennsport Reunions, this was an amazing event put out by Porsche. Just the number for Rennsport are staggering: 81,550 spectators, 50+ legendary drivers, 500 historic and customer cars and over 1,600 Porsche in the Porsche Club of America corral and a lot of friends. Rennsport is a reunion of a large number of racing cars from Porsche. Not only some belongs to the Porsche Museum, others cars belong to private museums (Petersen Museum was there with some incredible cars), some cars...

The weekend in Mammoth was really fun. Next time, I will come and place myself on the path for better pictures. Shooting thru the windshield is not...

It has already been a year since California had a great winter, with record snow. I have been waiting for the right conditions to get to Yosemite before a massive winter storm. I realized recently that I have never posted the images from that trip. For me the right conditions are a fast moving storm coming (called an atmospheric river) bringing a lot of moisture. Ideally the storm should hit Yosemite in late afternoon and last all night. The temperature in Yosemite should be low enough to produce snow and I want at least 12 to 16 inches. The...

For the 3rd time in 5 years, I went to Cuba. This time our itinerary included Havana for two days, then Trinidad and we drove to Santiago to meet with our Cuban Salsa group: the All Stars. I knew that Cubans love music, or most exactly music is life for the Cubans. This trip did reinforce the notion to a new level. We witnessed a music video being filmed on the Malecon, people dancing in the streets and we could hear music all the time on the streets, coming from cars, apartments, phones. Havana is changing fast, we were able to get cash from...

2017 has been a year of repeat amazing experiences and checking a couple items off from my bucket list. First, I finally managed to get to Yosemite during a large snowstorm (it should be on anyone’s bucket list). Then I went glamping in an Airstream (bucket list item). Right after I went back to Fairbanks to see more auroras, it was a balmy -15F. In June, we went back camping on Angel Island. Then I went sailing in Svalbard (for the second time). Right after, I did a photoshoot for an amazing young sailing athlete while he was...

The Hanna House is located on the Stanford University campus and just reopened after a couple years of being closed for renovation/maintenance. This house is supposed to be the first work from Frank Lloyd Wright in the region. The name of this house is the honeycomb house and is Frank’s first work with non rectangular structures. You can visit the house by signing up here. At the time of my tour, I could only photograph the outside of the house, no photography was allowed inside during the tour. While I completely understand, it was...
