: Late in 2012 I was lucky enough to be chosen to be part of the
: creative team which would make the first photographic image to
: grace the cover of the program for the Indianapolis 500 mile
: race in its 100 year history. The powers that be wanted to
: feature all of the living 4 time and 3 time winners of the race
: on a fold out cover. We planned and met and planned some more
: and finally the logistical coordinator for the project was able
: to get all 4 of the 3 time winners into the IndyCar studio on
: 16th Street in Indianapolis on November 15 and all 3 of the 4
: time winners down to A. J. Foyt's shop in Waller, Texas on
: November 29.

: The shoot in our beautiful studio in Indy was easy but for the
: shoot at AJ's shop I had to fly all of my lights down and rent a
: bunch of other studio equipment in Houston. We had a canceled
: flight on the way down but still managed to get a studio set up
: at AJ's and light pretty closely to the way we did it in Indy by
: the time AJ, Rick and Al showed up. Then all of the racing
: stories started flying around. We managed to get the pictures
: shot but we missed our flight back to Indy because we simply
: couldn't tear ourselves away from the conversation which was
: going on between the drivers and a few of AJ's long time
: mechanics and crew.

: During the shoots I got all of the drivers to autograph the
: reflectors from the lights used to make the backdrop burn out
: behind them. I had to buy a couple of new reflectors but it was
: worth it. The reflectors are shown below on the poster made from
: the cover shot. Actually it is 3 shots merged together by the
: wizards in the creative department at the Speedway. The 4 time
: winners side is one shot and the 3 time winners side is two
: shots with Dario and Bobby in one shot and Helio and Johnny in
: another.

: I don't know when I have ever had so much fun shooting photos and I
: have shot quite a few photos. The program features a multi-page
: story about the photo shoot complete with candid pictures.
