| My name is Jeff "Buck" Monson. I have been around racing since I was born. My dad was a member of the pit crew of the late, great Ole Brua. I have been to every Gopher 50 race since it began at Chateau Raceway over 30 years ago. I used to always bring my camera to the races and would take pictures in the pits. At the Fall Jamboree in 2007, I finally took some pictures from the infield at Deer Creek Speedway. I showed some of the pictures to Frank Mason and Travis Cushion from the newly formed "Dirt Modifed Magazine". They both said that they loved the photos, so I got credentials the next night and took some more pictures. I sent them in to the magazine and had a few published in the magazines 2nd issue. That was mid-September. In October of 2007, I started a website and my business...www.buckmonsonphoto.com! I run my business with the "treat people good and good things will happen" philosophy. After 2 years, things are going great! I have met some awesome people in the racing community. I had my name on 1 car at the end of 2008. In 2009, I had my name on 5 race cars and in 2010 you will see my name on more!!! I have had the privilege of being the official photographer of Mark Noble's Pink breast cancer car that he piloted in 2009 and look forward to doing more with that in the future. Jason Cummins was the first driver to don the Buck Monson Photo decal on a regular basis. And as good fortune would have it, he won the first race. It was the "Night of Victory" race held the night before the Jamboree in 2008, just 1 year from the inception of my business. So the first victory lane shot was with Larry McReynolds, Kevin Harvick, Landon Cassill, Jason Cummins, and myself (seen at bottom of page)... I have also ventured into writing stories for Dirt Modified Magazine. My first story was on Mike Sorensen, which I did during the 2008 season. Since then I have also done stories on the Slingshots, Mark Noble's Breast Cancer tour, and a notebook type story on the 2009 Fall Jamboree. I am also thinking of a new and different story at all times... I plan on continuing this journey for years to come and hope to meet new people and create new relationships along the way. My goal is to provide a best product at the best price in a timely, professional manner. I would like to thank my dad for giving me the push that I needed to start this, Deer Creek Speedway for giving me the venue to shoot my first "gig", and Frank Mason with Dirt Modified Magazine for a place to show my work. And the rest is history... |
