About Blake Shaw
- I am a photographer based in San Diego. I now specialize in bird photography, but also regularly photograph scenes of Mexico, Route 66, tennis, bicycle racing, flowers, and people. My work hangs in galleries in San Diego and elsewhere, and I am available for slide shows, lectures, and exhibitions.

Levi and Chris on Mount Baldy
Levi Leipheimer leads teammate Chris Horner up Mount Baldy to consolidate Horner's victory in the 2011 Tour of California, surrounded by a crowd of, shall we say, enthusiastic cycling fans who had waited hours for their arrival.

Andy Schleck
Andy Schleck, competing in the 2011 Tour of California Solvang time trial. The time trial is not Schleck's best event, his slim physique best suited for hill-climbing.

Levi Leipheimer and Chris Horner
With the Tour de France starting today, it's fitting that I am finally getting around to editing my Tour of California photos! Best of luck to Americans Levi Leipheimer and Chris Horner as they compete in this year's Tour de France.
Here, Levi and Chris compete in the Tour of California's Solvang time trial. Chris would go on to win the overall tour. Levi has just won this year's Tour of Switzerland, so it will be interesting to see how team Radio Shack fares against favorites Alberto Contador and Andy Schleck.

Rock-A-Billy Road
My second CD cover has just come out. The Road Crew, a rockabilly band out of Nashville, has used one of my Route 66 photos on the back cover of their latest CD, Rock-A-Billy Road.
The cd contains 15 tracks of traditional rockabilly-style tunes, by Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly and others. It would make an ideal cd for a 50s party or to provide the soundtrack for your next road trip!
Check out the sunset behind the band's portrait. Does it look familiar? The magic of Photoshop!
The tunes are available at cdbaby.com, or at any live appearance by the band.
