It's not easy finding locations for car photos. Magical photographers seem to be able to see gorgeous shots in the most mundane settings, but when I roll around my fairly scrubby brown town, I just don't see those images pop to mind. I suppose it's learning to see or know what will work in post, or to take...

I've been working more on my automotive photography, studying the masters like Ryan Jouhari, and Retutpro on Youtube. I would say "it's complicated," and it is, but it's also fun. I don't know what it is about car photos that are more fulfilling to me than fashion - maybe it's the ability to pump the clarity up to stupid...

It was a massive turnout for our local Cars & Coffee group this past weekend. I credit the weather, which was gorgeous.  Here are a few pics: THE Mitsubishi Evo X by @Evoenvy on IG Greg's Lotus Elise, now supercharged and carrying Exige badging. We're calling it the "Elige." Best Subaru re-badging ever. Jim's early 1950s Jaguar XK 120 vintage...
