I’ve been wanting to try this for a while now and with the help of my friend Todd I finally got to it. I had been searching for a while to find a good location when I came across this strip of road that had a double yellow line and more importantly no traffic. I wanted to try this so bad I was actually considering getting all my settings on the camera and lights and then having Todd zoom by ;) on a not so busy street, shoot a few frames and then move everything while trying to avoid traffic. There’s no way it would have worked. I’m glad I found an alternative. (click on an image to see the big version)

If you have ever been to the Dunn-Benson Dragstrip then you have probably seen this dude. He used to own it. He’s a long time friend of my wife’s family. I met up with him and my brother-in-law at his shop to get a few shots for my booth at the Ray Price open house next month. The area behind his shop has a bunch of older cars that have been parted out which made for a cool background for the photos. I think the best part was he had a story behind every car there. The kind of story only a long time car guy could tell. It was great.

The photos below are from a shoot I did with my brother-in-law Teddy, with his ’67 Camaro.  Nope, it’s not street legal but it will burn up the 1/8 mile in just over 6 seconds.  He’s working on getting it below 6.  This is something that I have been thinking about shooting for a while now and finally got out and got it done.  His garage couldn’t have been a better backdrop for the look I was going for.  Check back soon for some cool shots of some dudes and their bikes.

Also, in case you didn’t notice I have a new logo!  I have been wanting something a little more than plain text but have had the hardest time coming up with something by myself.  I finally decided I needed help and turned to a graphic designer that used to work with my wife.  Sometimes you just need to get someone else’s perspective on things.  A huge thanks to Christy from CB creative for helping me out.
