Casey I’m seriously jealous!!

Don't be jealous yet. I haven't seen the cars. I'm sure they won't be a perfect as the Nash Healy in the sample shot I posted. That was a Dennis Collins restoration, so it was perfect.

Anyway, I just though a few people would enjoy seeing a studio shot bigger than a plate of food -- and get a glimpse of what I do to pay for my food.

Good grief, that might melt the paint right off of the vehicle!

Hot air rises. The cars will be okay.

I'm just waiting to see how the people setting up the lighting equipment are going to power it. 18,000 watts draws 108 amps. Not my problem... it's in my contract.

Just another day on my job. Nobody listens to me until the s--t hits the fan. Then, I'm expected to fix it. This one is much better than others I have done for this customer. Other than the electricity draw problem, things are looking okay. I'll know more when I get there.

This isn't random, but I'm going to Corpus Christi tomorrow for a 100-car photoshoot. It is a studio shoot, with a 10X30 foot softbox and 18,000 watts of lights. The lighting gear is owned by the customer, and some of it is not what I would have bought, but I've worked with worse.

Here is a photo of a previous shoot with similar equipment. Hopefully, we can get similar results.

Interesting... I watched an episode of "Pickers" in which Mike and Frank found an old dealer and his son who had 4 53/54 Nash Healy's.. They bought 2 of them.. One has the Cadillac engine Healy originally intended for them and one has the Nash motor which Healy ended up installing on most of the 400 built and distributed..
Fascinating episode..

I love daffodils.

Are the big ones in the front really that much bigger than the little ones? Or is there some camera angle / distortion thing going on?
There's probably a little distortion, but the little ones are about half the size of the large ones. This one is head-on.

Yeah... here too. Sunday (March 3) is supposed to be a high temp of 10F. Totally not remotely springlike, and not very Colorado like. By this time we have usually had at least a few days in the high 50's or low 60's. This winter I've been grateful when it got up to 40.
 
Well, day five of the mega-car-photoshoot. Not too bad, but I'm worn out.

Here are a few un-retouched images (no Photoshop, yet).
