Frequently Asked Questions
I typically charge $20/driver for their full set of edited images from an event. My goal is to deliver at least 10 killer images, and often deliver more. This means you're paying between $1 and $2 per photo. Compare that price to what photographers on the Tail of the Dragon charge ($9/photo), and I hope you'll see the value in my work.
I provide high resolution, high quality JPEG files without any watermarks or other branding. Shortly after receiving payment, I will send you a download link which you can use to easily download all of your photos at once.
For personal use, anything you'd like! Feel free to post to social media or have them printed and hang them on your wall. If you are looking to print your photos and need a different crop, I'm happy to accommodate, just reach out!
For commercial use, please email me to discuss terms.
I try to catch as many drivers at an event as I can, but since I'm a driver as well, I can't photograph the drivers who are in my run group. Run group classes change from event to event, so hopefully I'll catch you next time!
I intend to compete in and photograph all of the Tennessee Region SCCA 2026 autocross events at Nashville Superspeedway, Music City Raceway, and NCM Motorsports Park.
I may also attend some autocross events in Huntsville, AL with Twickenham Auto Club and in Pulaski, TN with Tri-Lakes Sports Car Club.
Are there other events in the Middle TN/Southern KY/Northern AL region you want me to photograph? Send me an email and let me know!

My Garage
2002 Mazda Miata
This was a stock, 42K-mile Miata when I bought it in 2012 as my daily driver. I immediately dove into autocross with it and began to slowly modify it to better suit the track year after year. A Honda K24A2 motor now sits in the engine bay, and very few factory components remain on the car.
- Power: 220 HP
- Weight: 2,426 lbs (with hardtop)
- Drivetrain: RWD
- Competed in LA, CO, TN, KY, and AL

2004 Volkswagen R32
I bought this to replace my Mazdaspeed6 as my daily driver. I love the 3-door hatchback bodystyle, and the VR6 howl is really hard to beat.
- Power: 240 HP
- Weight: 3,409 lbs
- Drivetrain: AWD
- Competed in CO

2006 Mazdaspeed6
This was my first "comfortable" daily driver. Its AWD handled Colorado's snow easily, and the turbocharged 2.3L motor made several long-haul roadtrips without any fuss.
- Power: 274 HP
- Weight: 3,589 lbs
- Drivetrain: AWD
1988 Mazda 323 GTX
The 323 GTX was developed as Mazda's homologation production car to participate in Group A rally. That rally pedigree came in handy for me when I used it as my Colorado winter daily driver. With its low weight, responsive turbo, and very effective AWD system, this hatchback is still the best car I've ever driven in snow.
- Power: 132 HP
- Weight: 2,645 lbs
