So how do I get a dream job like that? I can be an eloquent writer when spell check catches my mis-spellings. (Mostly I just want to get paid to watch trucks get put their paces).

1st, you can't trust spellcheck. Like any job, it took me many years of hard work to get where I am. It takes knowledge, skill, contacts, experience, bravery and a solid reputation. Everyone thinks they can write and/or take photos. I get an email every week from someone who wants to be a race photographer. It is very strenuous work in extreme temperatures, hot and cold. You have to be able to scout the course and find spots that will produce action, scenery, etc. Many times, vehicle access is not permitted, so you have to hike to your spot carrying all your gear, food, hydration and clothing for a 12 hour day. I've seen plenty come and go over my 25 year career. Some were able to deal with the hardships and busted their tails promoting themselves but their work just sucked. It's a thankless job that does not pay well. I keep trying to understand why I do it. It's a combination of stubbornness and a creative drive that compels me to get the shot. The sign of a true professional is someone who comes back with great stuff every race; no matter what the conditions. When you do get a great shot, it's personally rewarding. This was from last weekend in Laughlin, Nevada.

Those are both great shots. I love the action shot with the sand flying everywhere. I checked out your website, I really liked the saying you have 'Know when to shoot, and when to scoot"

Also beautiful truck. I don't recognize the winch bumper is it custom?

Anyone have 37s on their crew?

I have access to cheap hummer 37in. X16.5 tires. So they will fit on my rims, but I'm not sure what kind of lift I'll need. I plan on getting a rsk with SD springs. That should add 4 in. Or so. Also I'm worried about the offset on the factory rims. Any one use these type tires?

37s will fit an f350 with minimal lift, 4" is plenty.
