Photos by Eric McCombs.

I first started with photography back in 1991 as a college student at UC Berkeley when I attended the US Grand Prix in Phoenix and borrowed a friend's camera to capture some of the racing action across from pit lane.

Not long after I got my first camera, a Nikon 8008, and started taking as many images as my budget for film would allow.  While working as a mechanic and data engineer for a race team, as well as their webmaster and the series webmaster, I got my first digital camera, a Nikon D100 and life was good!

In 2001 I became the Media Director for the race series and the official photographer as well and eventually moved up to a D2X and non-consumer lenses and life was very, very good!

These days I travel less and have expanded my photography outside of racing into theatre, landscapes, mission journalism and more.
