Speed Week

Images featured in Road & Track, in an article titled “Go,” about racing at the Bonneville Salt Flats. I’ve photographed there many times, and never get tired of it. The landscape is simple and graphic. The light is always wonderful due to the natural bounce coming from the whiteness of the salt. And the race cars? Well, what can I say? I’m completely mesmerized by these crude, crazy cool, held-together-with-gobs-of-spit-and-prayers contraptions. If Dr. Frankenstein was into car racing, these are the speed monsters he would have created I’m certain.
