With the 2017 season about to start, May 19-22 , it’s time to rev things up a bit with a photo blog about the 2016 Season Opener SCTA Land Speed Races at El Mirage. SCTA is the Southern California Timing Association … Continue reading SCTA Land Speed Races: 2016 Season Opener
My memorial to Old School days! A lot of people don’t know the origin of the name Roth Stock for my company. Back in the “Old Days” when movies were actually shot on FILM (the F-word!) … If you ran out of film and you had maybe, three pages of dialogue left, you didn’t want to buy a whole new reel of raw film stock. … Continue reading The Origins of the Name Roth Stock
From Connie Cycling Foundation in the velodrome to the SCTA – Southern California Timing Association’s Land Speed Races at El Mirage Dry Lake, it’s been a fast few weeks!

Had my camera with me today to do a little bit of street shooting after a meeting in Beverly Hills. My real interest was to catch some of the high end cars that tend to head down Rodeo Drive. When walking back to my Jeep, I see Brian Grazer seated at a sidewalk cafe, talking on his phone. Our eyes meet, I’m wearing my press … Continue reading This is Why We Say We’re Press Not Paparazzi

Have you been thinking about the 2020 Census yet? Your Federal Government has! Editing photos from this week’s very vital photo assignment from PR Newswire, and the Feds have decided I’m not so much of a risk after all.

Digging around the servers for our Red Carpet Archives, came across this bit of a gem from 2003. If you remember my comments last year (2015) that the atmosphere was so less grand without all of the large Oscar® statues and floral arrangements? This was in Babylon Court at Hollywood & Highland as you walked through closed areas from the then Kodak Theatre (now Dolby Theatre) to the … Continue reading Can We do a Throwback on a Friday?
Posted a theoretical question, sort of, today on social media, along with a little collage from last year. Well, have really been planning to avoid all the Awards Season frenzy this year. So what do you think? I’ve been asked to work as a field editor backstage at The Academy’s 88th Annual Academy Awards at the Dolby Theatre on February 28. Hmmm … what do … Continue reading Go Big Or Go Home!
There has been a lot going on in the past week that I haven’t been sharing here. So first, this was Friday night at 11:02pm at the corner of Hollywood and Vine. I had just left a meeting at this world-famous intersection. The photos below are from my cell and were posted on Instagram @roth.stock and on Facebook.
