I have a friend, Miguel Santos, who has a great hobby that I enjoy as well, but I'll never be as good as it as he is, specially taking into consideration the passion and effort he puts into it: sports photography.

When I was racing, I noticed that he would show up in the pits talking to my friends. We belonged to the same portuguese online community (MotoclubeVirtual), and ended up doing some nice conversations, since he lived bikes and photography, and I did too (altough I'm not a good photographer at all).

He would take pics just for him, and I asked why didn't he try to sell them. There's many track day participants and racers that like to have pictures of their track outings. So, with some convincing from my part, he started to bring some flyers to the track days and give them out to participants. This started 4 years ago or so. He's been taking pictures of racing motorsports ever since, getting better and better, and making great sacrifices to buy that new lens or accessory. He's truly dedicated to doing a good job.

After that, I've set him up a website (www.Kidhornet.com) on my server for him to publish previews of his pictures, and people can order the ones they enjoy the most. Every year he deletes all images and starts with the new year's images. This year it started with last Sunday's track day, and here are some photos of me:

And no, I due to all the comotion with my daughter this week-end, I forgot to take tools to remove the mirrors, and didn't really bothered asking around, just folded them and that was it ! .
