-Please like and follow the page, and please tag me in any posts!
-All watermarked digital photos are free but tips are always appreciated; use [email protected] on Zelle or PayPal, or on Venmo. Unwatermarked photos can be purchased.
-Please use the download or share buttons, or tap & hold and then "save to photos" instead of taking screenshots. I can see through Smugmug which photos are downloaded and it helps me to understand what types of shots are most popular so that I can take more of those in the future. Downloading is easy to do through a browser like Chrome or Safari.
-Prints and merch (blankets, mugs, buttons, wall art, etc.) with these photos are available for ordering if you want them; please see the pinned post on my Facebook home page for more details, or click on the "Buy Photo" button.

I had the rare priviledge of shooting a wedding at The Hill BMX Elgin today, officiated by Frank Nuccio. I'm not sure how often this happens at a track, but it can't be often!
