Bio
A Kentuckian born deep in our mountains and raised in the flatlands would tend to exhibit certain contradictions. Father Charles sold insurance to feed the family but should have been cabinet maker - inventor - humorist - writer - of his avocations. Mother Florence Carey was a genuinely gifted artist, but a talented paralegal before the term was coined. Sister Nancy is an artist and Bay Area magazine editor while my son Clint a musician and song writer. Sister Mary Eve is a humorist like Charles, with the added role of boosting my confidence. Schooled in business and economics, I never viewed myself as creative.
So my photography is quite new. My passion for motorsports was fired at the 1967 British Grand Prix at Silverstone, and tempered at Mid-Ohio, Sebring and Lime Rock. The focus remains on sports car racing … current and vintage. I am not at all mechanical and never owned a car until well after college. Occasionally I wear a tool belt around house and yard for image enhancement or to get out of the doghouse.
Twenty years in this stunning Bluegrass Region has nurtured a still growing love of equine in all aspects. As my wife Annie is an avid gardener, much content here is related to her joy and hard work. My beautiful daughter Emily is an English teacher in Brooklyn where she and husband Michael have two wonderful children … thus your obligation to view and express wonderment.
I am very much the amateur while learning a little something each time out. Two friends who are professionals have provided guidance and encouragement … Larry Neuzel in Lexington and Jeffrey Conger at Montana State University. They know I am chasing them but do not seem overly worried. I hope you enjoy this site and you might check out theirs… www.larryneuzelphotography.com and www.congerstudio.com.
