First off, let me say it was wonderful sharing some quality time with a fellow DGinner "Kenny". What a cool guy. We shared a house just down from the track and had a blast. I cooked each night and we talked shop, and non shop every evening. It was a pleasure.

So here we go a few for now...

There are some odd similarities in these two images me thinks...

Great shots.

Wish we could get some of the races down in in Texas.

Outstanding Work there Mate!! I especially like this photo (The others are great also) a true bit of Aussie Racing history.

HarveyMushman · September 22, 2006

Beautiful, Andrew.

Phillip Island has always appeared to be a great place to work--lots of good angles and backgrounds.

Ive been there many times harvey...great scenery but the place has one huge flaw from a photogs point of view & thats the weather. Its way down the bottom of 0z & sits at the top of the Bass Straight. The weather can change totally in mins. Top of the southern ocean.

A whole bunch of good images.

I especially like the "thumb's up" capture amongst the Ducati crew. I wonder how many realize he's Spanish motorcycling royalty?

Seamus · September 27, 2006

great pics andrew, the one of hayden pulling a wheelie...he looks so close to looping it !!

Wonderful shots

galaxycowpoke · September 28, 2006

The color on the no. 3 Rossi shot is so good it looks as if you're shooting with a different sensor. You haven't slipped a Ds or 5D frame in on us have you?

Good stuff. Thanks for sharing!

I think the good doctor gets a bit more of the spit and polish

Very nice series Zippy! I especially like the Rossi picture all tucked over and
such.

:cry Thanks m'dear...

Hey I popped in today! Although I might be off to Valencia next week for the last MotoGP of the year but will know towards the end of this week if it's being paid for...

I actually had some fun in Virginia with a lovely Percheron and took some photos and I managed to get some rather lovely shots of Amish shires too.

I think the bike work has consumed me for the time being - I really haven't stopped since I got back from Oz (this place).

Maybe if someone lured me out to some pasture I might go.
