From Euro magazines to crazy off-road and motorcycle publications, photos and videos I’ve shot have been published by a variety of outlets all over the globe. The cool thing is, little of that can be attributed to me.

Because I’m fortunate enough to be surrounded by good people doing cool things, I’ve had the opportunity to enjoy a tiny slice of this industry. A prime example of that is Tanner Norwood.

I grew up with this guy along with many others in and around south east Tennessee. Tanner, who is like a brother to me, is responsible for my first magazine cover sometime in the early 2010s thanks to building cool, albeit impractical, cars.

After all these years, he’s still building impractical cars, but because we’re “grownups” he has more than a part-time retail income to throw at these things. I consider myself lucky to have so many friends in the car and motorcycle world doing really cool (and industry-leading) things. I hope to be around to capture every bit of it, even if it’s solely for my own enjoyment.

If all goes well, we’ll be a bunch of retired old farts shooting photos and playing around with our dumb toys. We’re half way there and here’s Tanner's latest money pit. Let's keeping the good times rolling.
