This year it was in Little Cayman, and there were about 30 underwater photographers in attendance. Staff was onsite from Backscatter Photo, Canon, Light & Motion and Aquatica. Well-known underwater photographers Berkley [...]

Both the Flags For Our Fallen and Laughlin River Run were fun events to shoot.  Sturgis is fast appoaching and I hope to include some Nikon D3s video coverage on that rally.  The D3s has amazing low light, high ISO capability which should be great for the Sturgis Main Street and bar scene action by [...]

Backscatter recently dove again with the Manthiri.  A refit has given the Manthiri a large and gracious air conditioned salon. Half of this salon is organized with couches into cozy islands where small groups of passengers may gather to visit, or seek privacy in their book. The other half of this comfortable salon serves as [...]

I just returned from  a week-long road trip which included Sedona, The Grand Canyon, Page, Monument Valley, Canyon De Chelly and Window Rock.  In Monument Valley I used Navajo Spirit Tours, and Tseyi’ Jeep Tour in Canyon De Chelly.  In both cases I drove my own car with them inside, which is called a “step-in” [...]

I was covering a charity motorcycle event when I came upon TV3′s anchor Scott Pasmore riding his Paul Yaffe custom chopper.  Next to him was Sheriff Joe.  I could not resist asking the Sheriff to pose on Scott’s bike, and neither could he.  Later I gave the MCSO office the photo as a gift, which [...]

This dramatic shot of Iron Mountain Road helps to tell a story about every biker’s dream of riding through the Black Hills during the Sturgis Rally in South Dakota.  Here, everyone has to get lined up to scoot through the tunnel because it is one-way traffic only, then you need to find a crowd and [...]

When shooting the Laughlin River Run while on assignment with Quick Throttle last year, this shot was taken just outside of Oatman Arizona. Thousands of bikers who go to this rally and visit this ghost town to mingle with wandering donkeys, bar hop, and look good for the camera.  This talented model knew how to [...]

We Were There In 2009 If a picture is worth a thousand words then we could have written a novel last year. We put a few miles on our bikes and our cameras were almost as busy as our keyboards. Throughout the year you found Quick Throttle staff in just about every state and a [...]
