I know, I know I've been neglecting my blog, and it hasn't been due to lack of new work but rather due to lack of editing time. Been taking advantage of a local Classic American Car event called "Crusin Grand" to stock pile some excellent car footage. Above is one of several hundred

that I am rather proud of...more to follow of course when I have some time for their final edits.

My thanks goes out to all of the car owners who bring their coveted babies out Friday after Friday after Summertime Friday so the rest of us can experience a bit of American Automobile history...especially at a time when that history is being re-written.

Mizpah Hotel Self Portrait

This little ditty, perhaps the only self portrait I will ever post on-line was taken on a recent road trip to Nevada,

Historic Tonopah NV in fact.

This actual Hotel- a registered historic landmark- ( and a very haunted place if one wants to believe the locals) will be up for auction September 19th 2009...a little something I found out only recently when I Googled it to check the spelling of the hotel's name and the name of the town. If it weren't in the middle of nowhere...and if I had the money of course...I'd put in a serious bid and convert it into a live/work situation. But unfortunately it IS in the middle of nowhere and the area is suffering-as is everywhere else- from the current economic crisis.

Anyhow...this shot is directly "out of camera"...no post production photoshop layers, no photo merging, nothing fancy except a bump up in the contrast and sharpness in my camera's RAW processing software. Personally, I think it's pretty damn cool.
