I hope that you call can find enjoyment in reading this, it is a reflection of KOH through my eyes and through my camera lens doing HMC/Pirate work there. I hope that all my facts (though sparse) are straight. If anyone sees anything glaring, please let me know! It isnt a very long read, let me know what you think

I dont think we ever actually met, you passed through the Pirate tent as I was editing one of the LCQ days on lance's laptop during pirateTV was goin on, but aside from that I dont think we crossed paths...hopefully that will change in the future!

From the video submitted for the MFS contest, to the RCQ video, to the pics and short vids of KOH'10, he seizes and projects the very essence of the sport.

He "sees" what's there and presents it such that it doesn't just inform, it motivates... the composition extends beyond the visual aspect of capturing the shot and captures the heart of the moment.

Will, Jeff couldn't have said it better! As much as I don't wait to touch the car, you have me motivated to get moving again on it. RCQ will be here before we know it! See you then.
