Randall Bohl Photography began in 1987, with a South of Market studio in San Francisco, California at 9th and Folsom Streets. After three years in the Bay Area, Randall re-located to the "warmer/dryer" climes of Scottsdale, Arizona, in 1990. Randall has worked as a freelance photographer since receiving a 35mm film SLR in 1977. There was a break for college, Western Michigan University, with a three and a half year stint as assistant at Jim Powell Advertising Photography in Kalamazoo. Work is about evenly split between the studio and location, with a dash of production work in the film industry. His goal is to pile all of the studio work in during the heat of summer, shoot fantastic dawn and dusk shots and travel a bit to do it. The portfolio at his website includes a wide variety of commercial/advertising photography, as well as some personal work. As Randall says, in a sense it's all personal work, as he just likes shooting. Randall comes from an automotive family and has extensive experience with everything from automotive manufacturing, to drag racing, to motorcycles, and he is a patient and accomplished mechanic when need be. Randall Bohl is "faster than the speed of darkness." His personal passion outside of photography is travel by motorcycle, down the street, through the woods or across the country. If it's got two wheels and a motor, he probably likes it. His work can be seen at www.randallbohl.com.

Nick Calderone is a host of the nationally syndicated news and entertainment show RightThisMInute. A lifelong car and motorcycle fan, Nick may not be an expert, but he is certainly an enthusiast. The coolest car he’s ever owned was a 1986 Nissan 300ZX, and he currently rides a 1984 Honda Goldwing. Nick had interned at a Fox TV affiliate during college. After graduating, his first job was selling early “bag” cell phones by the gross. But, determined to use his mass communications degree, he parlayed another job at Fox, collating anchor scripts two nights a week. A television junkie was born. He spent four years working his way up at Fox and NBC affiliates before joining 12 News as a photojournalist in 1999. He had champagne on his lens during the Diamondbacks' World Series celebration, got drenched at Super Bowl XLI, and witnessed the joy of American athletes at the 2006 Winter Olympics. Nick stepped in front of the camera in 2004, filing feature reports for 12 News Upfront, then moved to general assignment news for the 5 and 6 pm shows. Technology has made news gathering increasingly portable: all the stories he’s covered, he also shot, wrote and edited. On weekends, Nick prefers two wheels, riding mountain bikes and motorcycles. If he pushes a gas pedal, he’d rather do it off-road, exploring Arizona's great beauty. Nick can be reached on Facebook or on Twitter @nscalderone.
