NA Miatas returning to the paddock after lapping Lime Rock Park make for quite a 1990s throwback parade.

Miata Return Afternoon
This kind of image—period vehicles, strange race-prepped Miatas, everyday clothing, a pleasing landscape setting—is the sort that I anticipate I’ll be most interested to return to in 50 years. Capturing the experience of the end of the day at MiataCon crisply, telling the most about the space and the moment.
Miata Cornering
When a whole image is motion blue but a single happy Miata face, I think the sensation of speed is being pretty well-captured.
Race Track Landscape
Lime Rock Park is a classic racing circuit among the rolling hills of northwestern Connecticut; while each of these components is visually compelling, I’m still working at finding the right way to combine the two different scales into a single image that captures the experience.
Red Miatas
Red-hot weather needs a pack of red-hot Miatas—in a color Mazda designers evidently love.
Harvest Miata
Through the warm hues of early-autumn grasses, I guess this Miata just wanted to escape the harvest.
Miata Rivals
As a child, I would have immediately begun a debate over whether the red or the blue Miata was faster. (As an adult, I can see that the blue car has a K-swap, while the red car looks, from the pulley, to be supercharged.)
Halloween Nutmeg Miata
Just in time for Halloween, Connecticut’s Nutmeg Miata Club brought an appropriately prepared vehicle to MiataCon.
Flat Tire for Miata Roadster
The trajectories of the motion-blurred cars in the background make clear that, by contrast, something is not going right with this Miata roadster-class race car. The rapid unplanned disassembly of its right rear tire resulted in a sudden drift into the grass, through I’m happy to report that it was still able to return safely to the pits.
