Following up with a black and white photograph of the Alfa Romeo from yesterday. This car belonged to the late Mr. Peter Giddings. You can read a bit on the story of its restoration here: http://www.petergiddings.com/Cars/alfa_158.html. Thank you to Mr. William Edgar for the link and info! . . Sonoma Speed Festival, 2019.

Can a car be sexy? I definitely think so. This absolutely stunning Alfa Romeo was on display at the Sonoma Speed Festival and I had to take the time for a few photographs. I think I’m going to call it “rich man’s Viagra”. . . Sonoma Speed Festival, 2019. Sonoma Raceway, California.

**SWIPE FOR BLACK AND WHITE VERSION** . Sometimes when I shoot color film I also try the image in black and white to see which I like more. This one was a tough one for me as I like both. Which do you prefer and why? . . Sonoma Speed Festival, 2019. Sonoma Raceway, California.

WhIle not the most beautiful image I’ve ever made (artistically speaking) its an incredibly beautiful image simply due to the absolute perfection of the cars. I can’t even begin to describe what it felt like to stand there on this slightly overcast morning in May of 2019. Standing on this hallowed track with cars that have made so much history is just something that has to be experienced in person. I know that I’ve said it before, but absolute car porn. . .

*GASP* Color! The inaugural Sonoma Speed Festival was the first event that I have photographed where I am more drawn to my color images than my black and white. Why? The cars from these eras (50’s to current) tell such a story with their livery and actually serve to tie them in to the era from which they began their stories. Take, for example, this BMW. In black and white it would still look pretty amazing but with color it just screams so much louder in its visual language–just as the designer intended. Am I goin to switch to color film full time? Absolutely not, but when I have a chance to photograph the Sonoma Speed Festival again and other cars like this I will definitely be shoot ing more color! . . Sonoma Speed Festival, 2019.
