Trust the Photographer that races on the Weekend

So, what does your editorial photographer do in his spare time? My guy, he goes racing. In fact, it’s a family affair for Don Johnston and his wife. And when he’s not racing he’ll put a camera wherever and however it’ll clamp tightly. Did you count all those camera mounts in the video? Well...OK...me neither. But there are a lot. Trust me. If you don't see the picture below click here to see the movie.

 

It takes skill, guts, money, moxie and the fickle friendship of Lady Luck to compete and win auto races. When she’s not looking your way, well, you also need to have a strong sense of humor. Don Johnston tells that story in one picture. It’s not always about what’s happening on the track.

Don Johnston doesn't simply take racing pictures. He can tell the story because he lives the story. He'll tell your next story like it’s never been seen before. Hire this guy and get him out of my hair…Please!!

Cheers,

Fresh Bites from Don, Nigel and Crash

Crisp, clean morning light kisses the cloud’s underbelly. You’re screaming down the road, driving into the new day’s morning fireball. This fresh day, this glorious morning when the possibilities are endless and the day’s potential stretches out before you. Unfurling, just like the road in front of your car. How exhilarating to begin the morning’s commute as if there was nobody else on the road. Just a gal and her ride. Don Johnston tells that story in one picture. Let him tell your next story.

How long has your automotive photographer been shooting cars and trucks? I’m guessing not as long as Don Johnston. He started playing with trucks as a wee lad. Over the years the vehicles got bigger. And while he honed his craft they got even bigger…See the just discovered archived footage from his childhood. He still has that wide-eyed, child-like exuberance. Click below or here to watch...

A swirl of passing cars, pedestrians and bicycle messengers all dance around as you leave the day’s madness reflecting in your windows. The crowd seemingly stops in mid-stride. Conversations abruptly screech to a halt. Furtive glances are cast your way. The waters part while edging into traffic. Confident. Self-assured. Bold, yet unassuming. The night is about to begin. Just a gal and her life. Nigel Harniman tells this story in one picture. Let him tell your next story.

Crash Edit is a New Style Chop Shop. The other guys have tired, worn out Espresso machines. Crash Edit has a Starbucks down the street. The other guys have cold catered food made early that morning in some darkened kitchen backroom. Crash Edit has an award winning Italian restaurant right downstairs. The other guys have big, expensive, over-priced edit suites.  A Crash Edit suite is a mosh pit for celluloid geeks. Cozy, warm, comfortable, inviting…cutting edge. Give Crash Edit a close look for what’s on your desk right now.

Don Johnston, Nigel Harniman and Crash Edit don’t just take and edit pictures. They tell stories. They’ll tell your next story like it’s never been seen before. Hire these guys. Get them out of my hair…Please! See more Fresh Bites from Nigel Harniman, Crash Edit and Don Johnston at their individual web sites.
