    They do have media credentials but for the most part everyone has access to everything equally. Those without media credentials are asked to stay at or behind the start line whereas those with credentials around their neck can wander out just alittle further and get a front shot of the car leaving.....or at least this is what I've witnessed.

    Mike you really should be shooting for Rodders Journal or another high end mag. Your work just speaks to people. I don't know what it is but you've got the magic touch/eye.

    You do have a "good" eye for composition and its always best to have enough lens to fill the frame. Good stuff. Do you have more?

    I opened this last night as you made the first post. I didnt want to interrupt the flow (damn you, Tman)

    Wow. Bonneville pictures in general are amazing. Put someone out there with a great eye, good equipment and the ability to use it... and you get these stunning results.

    Very very nice.

    Those are some great pictures. I can't get over shots like that. I probably took 100 pictures out there and not one would even fit in with these!

    yeah man, I have about 500 post cards/promo mailers here. I've sent out about a 100 so far. send me your PM and I will send you one so you can see the final product.


    Neither, my digital camera can shoot in B&W, however just like any B&W image it needs further manipulation to make it "speak". What used to take me hours and hours in the darkroom, now takes a 1/4 of the time.


    Kris, I have more, lots more. But they would be redundant, plus I can't reveal all my cards. I gotta sell some of em'.


    Dammit Tman, your just a speed bump on the road to Koolsville! Did your wife ever learn to play that mandolin?
     
  23. She noodles around on it some. I think it is at my lil brothers place at the moment? I am hungry and was thinking of that Mexican place our families went to in SLC..........good times. It seems like that was DECADES ago?!

    Been taking to drinkin Miller since it is the best buy. Still think of that cold one in the old Chicken farm shop you guys had. What ever happened to Jeremy?
