Indianapolis Motor Speedway

July 22, 2010

Searching my name on the internet the other night, I ran across a couple features I shot last May at the Indianapolis 500 for the Indianapolis Star. Although I’m from Indiana, this was actually my first Indy 500. My main job that day was working on an online feature the Star runs called 500 Faces, which is basically photos of 500 different race day personalities. I was in the infield the entire day working on this, but while I was at it I shot a few features:

Moon shot

July 19, 2010

After work tonight, I decided to try to make a moon photo. I’ve actually never shot the moon before, but saw a blog post from the Dallas Morning News with a few hints. This wasn’t for a news story, but just for fun after I got home from work.

Ray Benson is watching …

July 19, 2010

I covered the Peterson Brothers Band today as they performed at the Bergstrom International Airport. It was weird being in an airport not worrying about missing a flight or lugging around a suitcase. The band’s performance was kicking off kids week at the airport. Here’s a funny frame I got with a cardboard cutout of Ray Benson creeping down on Alex, the band’s bassist:
