This one picture is why I’m writing these thousand words. I’m doing so in the first week of August 2008—precisely 50 years since I exposed the negative at Lime Rock, made a print in my dad’s darkroom, and air-mailed it overseas to England’s Autosport magazine.
When we duly received our weekly copy, issue date of August 15, 1958, there it was: my very first published photo. I really can still feel the thrill.
