Wow.....mot many had a chance to shoot "The Guardsman Series" in Golden Gate Park. It only lasted 3 or 4 years.
This guy was a legend.!

I met him in late 1961 in my office where he became a frequent visitor. He came to get info about upcoming Porsche events, presented his spectacular black and white photographs, and we gave him the latest Porsche test car from our journalist pool contingency which he used for a few weeks to drive to the races in Europe."

Those were the days.

One of the all-time great racing photographers. A real favorite of mine. And what a different world it was then!
