I was walking through the COTA paddock toward the end of another event I was working, trying to catch sight of the Pirelli World Challenge cars being unloaded for a practice session the next day. The crew chief for Black Swan Racing spotted me and my big white lens, called me into their garage, and asked me about my camera. In short order he’d hired me to come back the next day and shoot their practice session to get some shots for their socials and hero cards. They were so impressed with my work they asked me to come back and shoot the actual race. This is my favorite of my COTA memories - just goes to show you, sometimes the best opportunities are just a matter of sheer dumb luck - like walking by the right garage with an impressive looking camera setup - but you still have to be able to rise to the occasion when it presents itself.
