This summer I’ll be working on my automotive photography in addition to the nature, street and whatever else it is I can capture. I’ve always had a passion for cars. Mostly driving them but appreciating their beauty has also been satisfying.

Instead of the normal whole car shots I want to learn to capture the special design, color, modification and angle that defines a feeling.

I used to look at car magazines when I was younger quite a bit. But I’ll be dammed if I remember the special photo aspects that made shots great. So, I’ll have to keep practicing but look for others work and see how they are covering the same event. And how I can differentiate mine and keep it special.

I’d certainly like to continue to get shots of the Maryland Miata Club meetings and give out prints. They seem to be very appreciated, and I like doing it.

Of course I’ll always be looking for light hearted messages from the motoring community. Warning though, they can be opinionated. Photo by Mike Hartley

Luckily for you guys the next few weekends won’t have time to hit any shows but June should be an active month.


Workout

Some go to the gym. I go out the door, open the shed and there is my gym equipment. I spent longer than I would like working outside yesterday. But that was then, there is more work to be done today. Today was leg day. Translation, mowing the lower back HILL.

This week we go back to working on arms when we get the pressure washer out.

But first, I’m going to fire up the grill and have a nice dinner.


Random Thoughts of the Day

  • This has been a cool May.
  • Smile, it avoids difficult questions.
  • I’ve been very tired lately.
  • I didn’t get to an important goal this morning.

With a lifetime and a half in the Newspaper industry I'm preparing for my retirement career as an Artist, Writer, Photographer and Video content provider. I'm a proud father of two wonderful children and I'm still married to the first girl I fell in love with and probably only one that would have me.
