I was able to spend a day this past weekend back at CNS. It has been fun to experiment with different styles of photography out at the track. Last time I used manual focus primes and shot monochrome for a documentary feel, this time I decided to embrace the heat and the colors and go for a 90’s Days of Thunder feel.

I finally got over to the track a couple weekends ago to document some of the racing with Brothers Racing. Shawn, Justin and two of the grandkids raced. It was unfortunately a disappointing day for them. A couple of wrecked cars and disappointing finishes, but a bad day at the track is still a good day.

This past weekend our family got to break in our new (to us) travel trailer for a weekend camping in Cañon City. I will spare you the family snapshots but I was able to sneak in a little bit of time to work on some photos of my own, some for ongoing projects, and some random ones.

Started out this month with some professional work for Eshe’s and Forge which was a fun change of pace. I got to see some cool cars and explore the area a bit for a couple different projects I am working on. Mostly though, it was a lot of time spent at home with family, which I am not mad about at all.

In this post, I introduce The Outskirts, an ongoing project about the overlooked places at the edges of everyday American life—small businesses, civic spaces, roadside signs, parking lots, and neighborhoods in transition.
