The first race of the 2009 season starts on Sunday in Qatar. I can’t wait. I was going through my photos from the 2008 MotoGP race at Indianapolis and thought I’d share some of my favorites. Please feel free to comment.

These photographs are fantastic! They make me feel as if I was there, and I’m sure I wasn’t. Picking a favorite would be impossible – they are all excellent. Ben Spies leaning through turn 7, however, grabs my attention every time. Great job!
These are fantastic, Dan. Someday I need you to show me how you froze the rider but not the background. I’m sure it’s probably a really simple technique, but I haven’t got it down yet.
Teach me how to do it and then I’ll get a shot of you leaning into the corner.
Thanks, glad you like ‘em.
To show you how to do that I suppose we’d have to go to a race. Shouldn’t be a problem, should it?
Dan did u take these pics bro!? If so u are the coolest cousin, if not u still are awesome, I can’t fathom the amount of strink those guys need to take a bike laid down left and to swing it up and lay it down on the right side for the corner!
those are cool photos . . .you should try and submit them
Dan, these pictures are great! Really good my man! Wow!
