There are literally not enough journalists employed in the US to cover the bad shit that is happening right now. We are now going to experience the social consequences of a weakened news industry--which are the same as the benefits of a weakened news industry, to those who weakened it.

It took me two and a half years to shoot, edit, collate, and write this, while I simultaneously worked full-time

Our next project is finally here: A 400-page, 2,000-photo beast of a photobook by the indomitable Larry Chen. Preorders are open now: www.carrarabooks.com/shutterspeed

It’s an incredible honor to work with such an icon of car culture and I can’t wait to bring you along for the ride. HNY!

The actual book cover shows the streak of a racecar’s headlights, screaming around Pikes Peak during the annual hillclimb against a breathtaking sunrise.

Strange year.

New titles released by my publishing company: Five.
Total copies sold: Fifteen hundred plus.
Freelance clients that shuttered editorial operations: Four.

Demand for automotive content has never been higher. Yet legacy media is circling the drain. Pretty clear decision ahead.

Final approvals for our trilogy of automotive fiction that’s releasing next week. Huge coup for us to publish all three.

Nailing down the book launch announcement today — we’ve got something totally unique in the market that is really going to resonate with auto enthusiasts. Also it’s Wifey’s bday lunch so plenty of fun mixed in.
