The IndyCar Season Start in Photos (Before IMS) - 2021

The start of the 2021 Indycar season has already brought plenty of action packed moments. The next stop being the Indianapolis Motor Speedway feels like an good time to stop and reflect on IndyCar’s first three events.

I try not to photograph things the way I see them with the naked eye but more the way they make me feel. I don’t know if that shows through the lens but figured that would be note to share.

It feels like I got on a plane last week to shoot the first race of the year and here we already are at IMS.
