Few sights can seduce the eyes and senses like hydroplane racing. It's graceful, dramatic, thrilling. Capturing these swift machines on film requires an artistic sys, quick reflexes, patience and intuition.
Bob Carver possessed those skills, and more. He could wait through a 10-hour race and find just the right 1/500th of a second to embody the whole event. He could frame, focus, and shoot a perfect composition, even as an uncontrolled boat cartwheeled toward him a 100 MPH. Simply put, his photos were incredible.
This book contains some of Bob Carver's best work. You'll be struck by his talent. And you'll likely perceive and share his love for hydroplane racing, arguably the most visually alluring of all sports.
