Christian Delbert is possessed of a rare combination of passions that give expression to his work. His interest is historic; he has been involved with motorsports since his youth. He has owned sports-cars and motorcycles since his stint as a motorcycle rider in the French Army. He currently drives a Ferrari, a Porsche, a Moto-Guzzi and a Suzuki. He is an accomplished driver and rider of them all. This allows him a unique perspective; an appreciation of the subtle characteristics which separate great or interesting machines from the remainder, often highlighting unique features of which others may not be aware or even notice. Combine these qualities with a life-long passion for his profession, photography, and you have a Christian Delbert photograph.
Cavallino Ferrari | West Palm Beach | 2012
Chuck Schwager is a true sports car enthusiast. He owns several interesting cars and to his credit, he drives them as often as possible.
Earlier this year he attended the Cavallino Ferrari gathering in West Palm Beach and sent us these images.
I was first introduced to Gene Ritvo's work at a local framing shop. A rack of postcards near the door contained pictures of several Ducati Motorcycles and a classic Mercedes car. Every vehicle was red. I quickly learned that all the postcards on the rack, including pictures of flowers and pieces of pottery, were produced by a local photographer. I contacted him and asked if I might see more of his work. He graciously invited me to his home studio. Because his garage was occupied by two Ducatis, an MV Augusta and a Porsche Boxster, a relatively new Mercedes sat outside, relegated to enduring the elements. Thus began a friendship which I valued to the day of his death in the fall of 2009.
NEW: View Gene's photos from Monterey 2009!
Gene brought an engineer's curiosity to what is generally perceived as a romantic's medium. He was fascinated by all things mechanical, from simple corkscrews to complex valve trains. He was forever seeking the answer to the eternal question:"Why?". Every photograph tries to expose that special something that contributes to the answer. His attention to detail and respect for the craftsmanship involved in his subjects is evident in the works we offer here.

We have been fortunate.
These photographs are as much a product of the good fortune that allows the totally unqualified to stand beside experts at spectacular motorsports events, as they are a glorious testament to the ever increasing simplification of excellent photographic equipment.
Please enjoy the attached pictures of events we have attended and turn to stories in this library for brief outlines of what you are seeing.
