Instructor, Author and Photographer
Brock went back to the automotive industry, becoming an instructor at his alma mater, Art Center School of Design in Pasadena, CA. In the early '90s he authored the definitive book on the Daytona Cobra Coupes which led to a successful 20+ year long photojournalism career, primarily covering endurance racing for automotive magazines.
In 1999 Brock partnered with the Hi-Tech company in Port Elizabeth, South Africa to create a modern version of Daytona Cobra Coupe, called the Brock Coupe. Over 150 Brock Coupes have been produced in South Africa and sold by Superformance, LLC (Superformance Replicars). He owns an example of the coupe (chassis #0073) painted Amulet Red with a Wimbledon White half-cove.

Famous quotes containing the words author and/or photographer:
““Have we any control over being born?,” my friend asked in despair. “No, the job is done for us while we’re sleeping, so to speak, and when we wake up everything is all set. We merely appear, like an ornate celebrity wheeled out in a wheelchair.” “I don’t remember,” my friend claimed. “No need to,” I said: “what need have us free-loaders for any special alertness? We’re done for.””
—Marvin Cohen, U.S. author and humorist. The Self-Devoted Friend, New Directions (1967)
“The photographer both loots and preserves, denounces and consecrates.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
