I look back and say at 40+ I am happy to be riding again on my 20" bike after all these years. Just to think I got back on it in January 2014 and I feel great to have come this far and still have so many more goals to achieve and I'll continue to work at it while having as much fun as I can. My BMX photography has allowed me to be involved in a sport I have loved since I was a little kid and perhaps one day there will be a team that understands my passion for BMX and for what I do both on and off the track and allow me to bring that passion to their team. #olddudescanridetoo

This past weekend I had the privilege of capturing the 2013 Reline Cup series in Fresno Ca.  This is where some of top riders on the west coast come to show what they have trained so hard for, Pro's and Amateurs got down to business and left it all on the track for that coveted Redline yellow plate.  I met some new folks and some familiar faces and all in all I had a great time. Until next time keep it upright and rubber side down. -VPW

Life behind the lens, one click at a time.

Over the past year I have spent a lot of time capturing the BMX racing community and traveling to many events throughout Northern California and Nevada.  I have captured many great moments and met a lot of great people, the response I have received has been overwhelming and I truly have appreciated the great feedback and new found friends.  It is sad to see that the season will be coming to an end and I will miss my BMX family, but I'll be back next year when it all starts again.  In the meantime I will still capture the essence of BMX thorough freestyle and the many events I will attend.  Thanks to all who have supported my vision. "Ride hard or Ride home" -VP

Photography Book coming soon.

Over the past several years I have thought about putting together a BMX photography book that would look great as a centerpiece on a table or even on a display in a bookstore.  So after meticulous thought and study I am currently building it from scratch capture by capture, text by text, so keep your eye out for it dropping on a table near you.

Over the past couple year I have spent a lot of time traveling back and forth to Santa Rosa to photograph some epic BMX freestyle at a place called Ramp Rats.  Last night 7/19/2013 was the last time I would be there to capture it as they are closing down for good, it's a sad day in the Nor Cal BMX scene.  Thanks to Mike Krnaich for all the good times.
