Car shows

  I made it to another car show today and posted 55 of them on Flickr, you can get there by clicking on My Photos on the right side of the page. As always I will post just a couple of them on my post. This year has offered a lot of car shows and I enjoyed going to each and every one of them. Cars are another one of my passions (second to photography). I think of automobiles as art within themselves. When you meet the owners of the cars, you car see the love they have for their cars. These people have years of work put into their cars. When you go to most shows you will always find a couple of cars for sale. When you talk to them, they will usually tell you that they had so much enjoyment building it that they want to start on another. Just like art, you can buy them if the price is right. Now that is what I call a true passion for cars. As you can tell by the post. (I would love to build one for myself. So before I bore you all, here is a few of the cars from today.

This is only four of the cars, and as I mentioned there are fifty five of them posted. I recommend you view them, not just for the cars but for the variety of photography styles used. For those of you that have a passion for photography, you should take a look and even get some ideas for your next shoot.

Counting down

  Well it's about four more weeks and I'll be out on the west coast again, and I am getting more excited every day as it gets closer. You would think that it isn't that big of a deal since I grew up there and I've been going back out there every year for at least a month at a time. But it is still so nice to spend time with my Mom and Brothers out there, of course it also gives me a chance to take some good photographs in another location other then east Tennessee. Don't get me wrong, there is so many different things that go on out here, I'll never run out things and places to take photos. Being in California for only a month at a time, there will always be something new to shot. Last year I managed to get many Christmas light and decoration shots. this August and September there will be all new opportunities. That's what you can look forward to seeing on this post in a couple of weeks. For now here are a couple photos that have recently been taken.

Don't forget to go to the flicker site and see many more new photos that have been recently added.

Home Sweet Home

  Only 48 days left until I get back to San Diego. A photographers dream with the ocean, beaches, Mountains and desert to see and enjoy. It's going to be great to see my Mom and two brothers that still live out there. They are always active and I'll be able to join them in their activities such as luncheons with a performance each Tuesday, Kayak Fishing and camping in the desert. Along with that we will get to spend a lot of quality time together. We don't see much of each other but I have taken the time to get out there once a year. Last year I wound up going there three times the first time was a planned trip when all five brothers were there at the same time for our mothers eightieth birthday. The other two times were not for pleasure. Our youngest brother had a heart attack the day after our mothers birthday and I still had to fly back home on schedule, But I did a turnaround and flew back after one day home. I then spent another three weeks there. A month later he was back in the hospital with serious complications and I flew back as soon as I heard about it. He wound up having a six hour surgery on my birthday and all turned out well. He has now recovered and is doing better then ever. This years I am hoping for a much more relaxing trip and less traumatic. I only have two more planned photography meet ups before I leave and will get some more pictures posted within that time. So for those of you that follow my Flickr site, You will have some more shots to enjoy within the next three weeks. For those of you that only follow this page I will still post a couple of photos from each shoot.
  So you all keep on taking those photos and enjoy the passion of photography.
