This weekend’s work with ep has been a good distraction for me… got out and went looking for new places to shoot environmental portraits (for those of you not versed in photog-speak, that means portraits that include the location in the shots). Found some really great looking new places for that and got to let the creativity flow by shooting these demo shots you see here. Unlike other posts, these don’t link to a gallery of shots because, well, these are the only shots I’ve put up.

“The reason”, I hear you asking? Well, that’s because we’ve had a lot of requests over the last two months to produce stunning images of cars, bikes, boats, etc. and the people who’ve put so much work into them, whether in customization or restoration… you’ve done all that work and now’s the time to show it off! In response to those requests, we now offer a “Man and Machine” photo session so you can have professional photos of you and your machine(s) to preserve all the memories that go along with the work you’ve done.

How do you get the package and pricing info? Easy! Just click the link above that says “Hire Us!” and you’ll see links to the listings. Each link opens a document in PDF format so you can read it online, download it, or print it. Check that page often, because we’ll be adding more packages over the coming weeks. Enjoy the next two shots and get ready to see more new material soon!

We’d like to be able thank everyone that made this event possible with their hard work, organizing and conducting the rally, but we just didn’t get to meet everyone that was involved. We did have the pleasure of meeting and talking with the mayor of Phelps (Jim Cheney) and some of the other people that were working while we were having a good time: Dan, Tank, Alan and Anne… everyone else, you know who you are and we’re sorry we didn’t get to speak with you, at least not on a first-name basis!

Well, I’ll get on with my story now, as I usually do… The rally was a two-day event, beginning with a Ford show. The weather looked a bit gloomy, so we heard later in the day of some car owners having decided not to bring their cars out. Still, we had a good number of cars for the first go around. The show ran from 10am to 4pm and then we all lined up to cruise back around to Main St., where we parked all the Stangs (and a Galaxie and an AC Cobra) in a row. It was quite a spectacle and talk about fun! We all gathered around while the awards were handed out and we took home two – Best in Show and Best Male Autocross Time. That’s right – not only does the Stang look good, Thann can drive it, too! Okay, enough of that… the second day’s activity consisted of a poker run through the western Finger Lakes. We’re talking about NY’s wine country here, so naturally a couple of the stops for cards were at wineries. It wasn’t just a fun road course though, the entire Finger Lakes region is absolutely beautiful – mountains and valleys with glacial lakes in between… just a beatiful place. So we wrapped up Sunday with the show of poker hands from the day’s course. Our hand wasn’t awful, but it wasn’t a winner either. Oh well, better luck next time. And that’s my quick synopsis of a weekend full of good times with good people – now, on with the good photos!
