Meet T.J. Kessler.  At just 14 years old he's our youngest contributor yet but given his provenance it's likely we'll be seeing much more of him. He is the son of Lynn and Tom Kessler, owners of a 1974 911 Carrera, and the grandson of Betty Jo and Leonard Turner who for more than 40 years were the moving forces behind Porsche Panorama magazine.  Click the image above or here to view T.J's pictures from Amelia Island.
