PHOTO GALLERY

I put together this catalogue of pictures so that people can get an idea of who I am as a person by seeing my various interests.  Trust is at the root of my business so it makes sense that you get an idea of who I am outside of the work atmosphere.  I update these pictures very frequently so please visit often.
My Stepfather Ed Reed passed away at 3:55pm on Saturday Sept 27th. 2008  I will miss him tremendously.

1919-2008.....Rest in Peace Ed....I love you!

These are the pre-race festivities for the Daytona 500 2007.

Kun Hee Shim was a student of mine when I taught High School Ceramics.  I helped him make this ceramic mural which still stands at Chapel Hill Chauncy Hall school in Waltham MA.  It was made by acrylic painting around 750 4x4 inch tiles.  Each tile has some visual reference to the number 3.
Me and my friend Johnny fishing for herring to use as bait on Martha's Vineyard.

I painted this on a friends jean jacket when I was about 22 years old.

I loved this truck.  This is my '76 Chevy stepside pickup on the 4th of July 1993.  My friend Johnny and his girlfriend at the time Julie are just hangin out.
This is the same day.  This is me at sunset out at Wasque point.

October is usually a great month for striped bass fishing on Martha's Vineyard.  My buddy Johnny and I have been fishing Squibnocket point for a little over 20 years.  Here we are in the parking lot gearing up.
Ask any crunchy old Vineyard fisherman where the toughest spot on the Island is to fish and he/or she will instantly say Squibby point.  The arrow that you see in this photo is about half way to our spot.  

Many a turned ankle on this trek.
This day was beautiful but at high tide on a windy rainy day the waves break right up to where Johnny is walking in this picture.  That makes for a much tougher trek out to the point.

Almost there.
Almost there.

Here is the edge of the earth.  The water at Squibby point looks like a washing machine.  We actually have a couple of spots we fish out here and we do call this one the washing machine.  The water just boils with clashing currents from the 2 sides of the Island colliding.  You can't really see it but Johnny is on with a fish in this picture.  Landing fish between the rocks while trying to stand on a wet slippery rock as waves crash into your legs takes a great deal of skill.  Either that or we are nuts!!
After 9 hours of fishing and catching a few fish that were not quite the legal size to keep we make the long journey home.

20 years ago we used to run all the way out to the point.  Now we walk and chat.  In 20 years from now I hope to be crawling out there with my buddy.  Fish or no fish.
This is the Edgartown great pond opening.  We caught a bunch of fish out here.  Mostly blues but some stripers.

This is our campsite for the 2006 World series of Racing at Thompson speedway.
Supermodifieds.  These guys really fly.  180 mph.

Here I am climbing into a Pro-stock at Thompson speedway October of 2006.

HERE I AM SIGNING THE START FINISH LINE

TIMES PHOTO AGAIN.  CHECK OUT HOW STEEP THE BANKING IS BEHIND US AND REMEMBER THAT THIS IS IN THE TRI-OVAL SECTION OF THE TRACK.  1 HOUR AFTER THIS PIC WAS TAKEN 43 CARS PASSED THIS SPOT AT 197 MILES PER HOUR INCHES APART.

SPEAKING OF HORSEPOWER

SO MUCH FOR THE VACATION PICS.  HERE ARE A NUMBER OF OTHER VARIOUS PHOTOS

11/26/05- I got a chance to drive a NASCAR Pro-stock at the Waterford Speedbowl in Connecticut.  What fun!!
I had driven before at our home track at Thompson Speedway in a driving school.  
This track is a little shorter and with less banking in the turns than Thompson.

Getting strapped in snug.
Our new car in the heat of battle at Thompson Speedway in Connecticut.  Our driver is going about 100 mph through the turns in this photo and then about 140 mph down the straightaway. 

On a hot Summer day the coolest place at the track is in the trailer. We leave our new tires in there out of the sun so that we can get accurate and predictable sizes and pressures.  The tires are filled with Nitrogen.
ONE OF MY FAVORITE DRAG CARS

THE LOVE OF MY LIFE.  VANESSA SINGING THE NATIONAL ANTHEM AT NEW ENGLAND DRAGWAY.  SHE IS AN OPERA SINGER AND TEACHER.
My new Cadillac Escalade to take clients out in style.  It has GPS so your Realtor will never get lost and waste your time by driving around in circles for hours looking for the next appointment.

Below you will find a number of pics from my trip to the 2005 Daytona 500.  This is me with my dad and a friend of mine Eddie Clermont.  We are standing in the winners circle with the actual trophy given to the driver after the race and a couple of promotional girls.
This is a pic from the new fan zone in the infield of the track.  Each garage stall for all the drivers has a window so that fans can watch the pit crews work on the cars between practice runs.  This photo was taken when Dale Earnhardt Jr. came in after practice.  There were about 800 people trying to get a glimpse of Junior through a 6X6 foot window.  You would have thought Elvis himself was in there.

This is a pic of me standing on the banking at the start finish line.
This is me standing in Michael Waltrip's pit stall about 1 hour before the race starts.

This is Dale Earnhardt Jr. during driver introductions.
Me in the infield. 

Jeff Gordon being introduced.
This is the banking in the turns.  It does not look like it here but it is about 3 stories high and almost impossible to climb it is so steep.

This is me with Ned Jarrett.  He is a famous NASCAR old timer.  A real legend in the sport.

Here I am listening to the communications between the crew chiefs and the drivers during practice on Thursday.

My Father playing golf in St. Croix.
This is me over the holidays with one of my sisters puppies.

Wasque point on Martha's Vineyard is one of my favorite places in the world.  I feel like I am standing on the edge of the earth when I am out there fishing.
Striped Bass on the grill for about two weeks.  I got a daily prize in the Annual Martha's Vineyard Striped bass and Bluefish Derby.

The following few pictures are of me on vacation in Las Vegas with my buddy Fibber (that is his nickname).  We went to the NASCAR week with the Winston Cup race finale on Sunday. 

The mountains in Las Vegas are truly spectacular especially when they are the backdrop for a NASCAR event.
Almost 200 thousand people showed up at the track for the race.  180 thousand packed the stands!!  Nascar puts on the equivalent of the Superbowl every weekend!!

The start of the race!  180 thousand crazed NASCAR fans yelling and screaming as 43 $130,000 cars fly by at 180 miles per hour inches apart with no brake lights and at the end of the straightaway everyone hits the brakes and turns left.  I just got my heart-rate up just by typing this.
MGM Grand

The Venetian!!  This was one of the most amazing things I saw in Vegas.
