Hi, my name is Owen Buggy, I’m and English/Irish Automotive Photographer looking to shoot Bonneville Speed week 2010………….

My aim is to get involved with a team taking part in Speed week 2010. I want to document your “trials and tribulations” including your vehicle, your team, the runs & the atmosphere during speed week….and maybe even the journey/road trip to & from Bonneville.

I can probably fund my air fare to the USA (California etc) but that’s about all my budget will allow….so I’m looking to become part of a team that can provide me with transport/accommodation during speed week. In return you will get free images of your team & vehicle during the whole event. I will attempt to get a magazine feature here in the UK about the trip and if you can get interest from any US publication then any images/story could be used for that also.

I have been a commercial photographer for about 5 years and have a BA in the Photography & Electrical Imaging. I have loads of experience shooting cars in motion (tracking shots) and also on location, from hot rods to production motors.

I lived in San Francisco for a period in 2007, during that time I drove eight thousand miles through 5 states shooting Automotive back grounds/landscapes for “CGI” prototype cars for companies such as Aston Martin, Bentley Motors, Lotus Cars, Nissan, & General Motors. I spent a few happy days shooting the salt flats of Bonneville…great place…and somewhere I’d love to re-visit.

I’m 28, I love the smell of petrol, I love cars (owned 23 cars already) I’m pretty good with engines, I’m easy going & super keen to get involved.

I can send my automotive portfolio via email to anyone who is interested, or alternatively you can visit my website (search for: plugphotography) and view the “automotive” portfolio. I can’t put in a link to my site due to forum rules!

Give Gene Winfield a call. He's still chasing a record with his "Thing" coupe, last I heard he was also building a 32 for the salt. I am not at home, let me know if you can't find a number to call, I have it at home and will p.m. it to you. He lives in Mojave, is one of the nicest guys you will ever meet in your lifetime. Dan
