Grand Prix...

The Long Beach Grand Prix happened almost a month ago but I swear I can still hear the sounds of those cars shifting in my ear. I got hired by the City of Long Beach this year to photograph the mayor during the Grand Prix. Lots of grip and grin stuff, but also some fun moments...


The mayor in a race car simulator, familiarizing himself with the Long Beach course.

The mayor in racing leathers, getting ready to ride in a 2 seater Formula 1 car.

Last minute touches before he jumps in the car.

A pair of stormtroopers were at the Grand Prix this year since George Lucas was an honored guest.
