BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE

Retired California Superior Court judge Barry Taylor had a passion for racing since his teenage years. Growing up in Los Angeles California in the early 1960s, he embraced the nascent sports car racing culture and as a teen crewed for various sports car racing teams around Los Angeles. After establishing his legal practice, Taylor continued to attend races and began taking photographs of friends racing vintage sports cars. His photos were published in national automotive and racing magazines and for several commercial campaigns. Taylor participated for 10 years as a driver, piloting an ELVA Mk.6 in vintage races and an SCCA spec-racer. After his appointment to the California Superior Court in 1991, Taylor focused his pastime efforts on driving his car rather than photography.
