Well, Paul, I think we just gotta grin and bear it...as opposed to grinning and baring it. :) Bleeve me, the Dreamboat photo is bad enough (Larry asked if he could send it, so I can't blame him for blindsiding me) but a "baring it" shot would prolly cause a nationwide power failure...if not completely destroying the backboone of the internet. :)
So....I'm off to see the lizard...uhhh...Best Buy to pick up some usb memory sticks and another firewire external hard drive (my cup runneth over and so do my backup drive.) and some card stock to print a buncha business cards to hand out on the salt flats.
I'll try to send some photos from there if I can get to a wifi hotspot. RtR At 02:44 PM 8/5/2009, you wrote:
Well, after taking a brief look at my Nascar shots, I only came up with three that are good, so I thought I'd share them with the group.Enjoy Knightmare (also known as Lar, Larry, Hey You, and Nikonian)From: ratpack-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ratpack-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Ray BuckSent: Tuesday, August 04, 2009 10:13 PM To: ratpack@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ratpack] Re: NASCAR photos At 11:05 AM 8/4/2009, you wrote: I agree with Paul, great shots, a lot of diversity in you shots!!!! Check out this site: <http://theracesite.com>http://theracesite.comAlthough I am an on track action and I do like to see all the cars that attend an event, I don't think this site does a very good job on diversity,I gotta agree. All the shots on that site look like they were taken from the same place, with the same composition. Nice photos, but a little variation breaks up the monotony.you guys on the other hand do a great job. As do you. I love your shots and variety.Now I know I tease you about shooting hub caps and radiator caps, but I like to look at all the different shots you guys take. Keep up the great work.We'll see what I bring back from the salt flats. I packed a lotta stuff into the Burb today. It looks like I'm gonna have room for everything (including a backup printer.) I'm real excited about heading out there. Like I told ya, Larry, I've been in training for this since March or so. It's gonna be some hard work, but I'm sure grateful that I get the opportunity to do it.Got my fingers crossed, and prayers on the way up for your daughter!! Remember, north of Atlanta, and I've heard Braselton is lovely!!.Ditto on the prayers and +++++~~~~~. I sure hope this works out for ya and yer daughter.RtR Later LarFrom: ratpack-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [ mailto:ratpack-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Ray BuckSent: Tuesday, August 04, 2009 10:47 AM To: ratpack@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ratpack] Re: NASCAR photos At 10:41 AM 8/4/2009, you wrote:I checked out your photos, Great shots and no problems. The system seems to be working just fine.Thanks for checking...and the good words.I sent Chris Pederson an email declining his business. I told him that I don't have the photo of him getting the checker flag winning his race and that I (note the bold) don't sell single prints unless they are 20x30 for $50.00 and then I choose the photo, and that I didn't think that I had any shots that either of us would like. I really don't, I have a few good shots of the #96 Mustang but not his car. I just don't have the time to mess with him.If he gives me any more shit, I'll decline his business, too. I don't have the time, either....besides....I think he's an idiot.My daughter is going to Atlanta next Tuesday for her final interview. It is down to just two candidates, her and she thinks some guy.

I wish I'd had time to do a more thorough job of it, but things have also been hectic around here. (A guy I used to sponsor in AA showed up unexpectedly, about half sober and told me he'd had enough of it, so we spent quite a while talking as I kept handing him bottles of water to flush his system and he was sober enough to drive by the time he left...but it took up a good chunk of time.)

(With the website, anyway.) Thanks, Ray
