Footnotes
'I've always loved cars... I am part of that crowd that has had an enduring 'love affair' with the automobile...My interest in the cars took me to many of the races on the West Coast: Pebble Beach, Golden Gate Park in San Francisco and, of course, Santa Barbara...In 1954 I sailed to Europe with my wife and child and while exploring the continent with my camera in hand, I found myself in Reims on the 4th of July, photographing the French Grand Prix. I realized that this was what I really wanted to do with my life. So racing, cars, photography – they all came together and it really developed organically into a career.'
