  Awesome photos! That shot of the the Lotus with my favorite (after Mario) childhood driver is absolutely great! What a work of art that car was.

  In a place where everthing is DFV powered and fat, Goodyear slicks are the only tyre available.

  Since there was a small discussion on photography equipement in the Imola thread, I decided to throw up a couple of images I've taken through my years of following F1. These pics were taken during the 70's.....

  Guys I had the privilege of watching Mr Murphy in photographer mode in Spa last year - on behalf of those of us wanabe photographers I say We are not worthy!!

  Is it just me or do the 70's and 80's cars seem to look more exciting and aggresive than the cars of today??? :D

  Murph, there's a great feature in Motor Sport magazine called YOU WERE THERE. People send in their photos from the paddocks of the Good Old Days. Drivers preparing, mechanics, that sort of thing plus their anecdotes. Your photos are almost too good for this feature, but ...
  
  60 Waldegrave Rd
  Teddington
  Middlesex
  TW11 8LG
  UK
  
  Obviously they suggest sending prints not negs. I'd love to see your stuff published.

  GREAT pictures!!!
  
  
  
  isn't this just the best livery ever? and wouldn't "OLYMPUS" fit nicely on the PS05's sidepods? :P

  Those are amazing, amazing pictures. Like 'roo, my pics are all blurry crap thanks mostly to slow as shit shutter speeds (thus meaning the camera moves with the car) and crappo lenses (thus meaning the car is small and blurry).
  
  Murph, you really should send a few of those off to someone like Cahier or Sutton (or even Heath @ F1 Racing) and i'm sure that you would have a freelance or full-time job with them within a few days - those photoss are that fucking good! :o
  
  Hey, F1 photographer = mucho access! :D

  Thanks again for all the kind words....... I was contacted about 3 months ago about my archival stuff and I have been talking to the good folks at Crash.Net.com. Crash.Net has just bought AUTOCOURSE so they are now into publishing bigtime. I am to meet up with them at Imola....the neat thing is that a month ago I was asked to shoot pics for them while at Imola. I will be shooting from spectator areas...not just the cars but also "atmosphere pics". I have been in contact with their pro F1 snapper....James Moy..... and he has given me some suggestions on where to shot from with the hope that I can help them add to their coverage. Besides shooting f1...I will be also shoting GP2. To say I am psyched about this opportunity would be an understatement! Thank goodness my buddy Ger will be with me...I need someone to carry all my gear!!! If something comes out of this..great.... but if nothing comes out of it..still great.....what an experience to cherish....... well, gotta run as I gotta get to the airport in a couple of hours.....leave ya with a couple more images....
  
  thanks again for the kind words.......
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  and lastly.... for the "little" Salvo that will be coming soon
