Did you get pictures of Brandy, now that would stand up to her dads art
(humor)
I ran into her dad, her and her boyfriend at my uncles house a few weeks
ago, had a long talk with her boyfriend, says he shoots at miller too,
but I have not seen him.
I have never seen her art.
I guess the apple doesn't drop too far from the tree.
Carl, I have had exposure problems with my camera off and on, but I sent
it in to be fixed and it is working great now. Not sure if it is the
same thing you are experiencing or not, but my problems started out
small and got worse, keep an eye on it.

I don't think anyone needs to show this fella the ropes. He's very,
very good. Tends to prove ol Rockwell's point about not needing
megabucks worth of cameras to get good photos.
The web site sez he's from Northern California. Did you get the idea
that he'd moved here?
I shot practice of the MPRA Saturday morning, then went to the Concours
at Thanksgiving point. Damn near melted in the heat.
I've discovered something. Photography is a very good way to starve to
death doing something you love. I guess you could say that about any
form of art, but this last weekend seemed to drive home the point that
I'm going about the selling end of things wrong. I don't know how to
fix it, but I'm gonna have to if I ever expect to make money outta this.
I'll have photos of the Concours up....ohhh...eventually. Btw, they
tried to combine the vintage/classic car show with a hot rod show....and
it just didn't work...there were some great cars there...some on the way
back from Pebble Beach, but I'm told that it was about half the size of
the previous year. It didn't help that they'd raised the entry fee for
the third successive year.
I'll make another post with a coupla photos from that deal. It was nice
to meet some old friends...and I got an autographed poster from Brandy
Wanlass. When I told her that I was gonna hang it between the posters
her dad had given me, she jumped up and gave me a hug. I guess she was
pleased that I'd rank her art up with her father's. Well, in my
jaundiced eye, her poster is every bit as good as his.
Ohh...I got the "Seen at the Scene" section of the Speed Week photos
done. It's a collection of rods and kustoms and other stuff from the
salt flats. Now it's on to the race cars.
More later.

While I was at the Miller SCCA race one of the drivers asked me if I
would show another photographer friend the ropes. His name is Michael
Wells and takes some pretty fair photos. He is interest in coming to a
Pack meeting if and when we have another one. In the mean time here is
