This past weekend I shot a 2002 Porsche 911 GT2. It’s a Protomotive built car that puts down 715rwhp on 112 octane. It’s unforunate that the owner was too lazy to move the car, that’s why every shot seems so static. I had to make do with what I had.
I’m going tot he Cars and Coffee meet on July 19th downtown, so stay tuned for some shots from the meet.
It’s been about a decade since I’ve updated, at least on the front end. There’s been a lot of back end updates that I just haven’t bothered to blog about. Two weekends ago, we packed up and headed out to Summit Motorsports Park in Norwalk, OH for the Super Chevy Show. Mark Carlyle brought out his sick Fleetwood RV, and we had the 27′ Salem aka “Sugar Shack.” Brandon from IPS Motorsports trailered up Chris Anderson’s supercharged C6 Z06 that was piloted by Sam “Socks” Demeter. Mark did his personal best of the day with a 9.06 @ 154.14 mph, in addition to his 1.39 60′. Without further adieu, here’s the link to the gallery.

About a month ago we went to the Argosy Casino in Lawrenceburg, IN. Talk about a smoke zone, every old granny was in their feeding the dollar monsters. It’s absolutely amazing how people come to an establishment in droves to hand away their hard earned money in hopes of winning $50 back, or a “comped” buffet. Seriously, you can get a better deal at the local Hometown Buffet. Apparently they are undocking the Argosy Casino, and a new one should be opening up on June 30th called The Hollywood. We’ll see if I go back to check it out. I’d feel more compelled if they had a non-smoking floor.
Sam won $500 right off the bat after sticking a $20 bill into the Wheel of Fortune machine. I told that idiot to take the money and run. But what does he do? Sticks it right back in the machine and loses it all. Where’s that free buffet?
Nearly 10 years in the making. I’ll finally be a graduate of Ohio State’s BFA in Photography program. Since I always shoot and never actually update the site with new material, I figured I would do so in today’s blog. My shutter was definitely flapping a lot this weekend, and the weekend before. Two weeks ago, I shot the Rock on Ice event for Aflac Insurance Group in Indiana. And on Saturday, I did a photo shoot with a local model, Darcie. Here’s a sneak peak. You can checkout her full photo shoot in the photography section. She’s a senior at the Columbus College of Art and Design, majoring in painting. We’ll be doing another shoot in her painting studio shortly.
I attended the No Hatin’ In Dayton event at Kilkare Raceway in Xenia, OH on Sunday. It was put on in part by Brock Davidson of Brock’s Performance. Virtually every bike there was a Suzuki Hayabusa, undisputedly the king of the track. Except for maybe the new Kawasaki ZX-14. Anyhow, enough about the bikes. The usual concession stands weren’t open Sunday, so a few entrepreneurs decided to open up for business. There were these three guys who had brought a smoker along the back of their Suburban. Have you ever had one of those giant turkey legs at the state fair? Or maybe even at Medieval Times, the themed restaurant? Well, I haven’t, and I circled these guys like a vulture. Every 30 minutes, I came back around asking if they were done, and they weren’t. Eventually at 2:16pm, my boy Shanton and I got our turkey legs, and got our faces covered in barbeque sauce. Enough blogging, as I could write a book. Here’s a shot of famous Davis showing off during a grudge race.
I can’t believe how damn hot it is here. The daytime high is 105F, and it is 85F at night. Will update with more camera phone pics tomorrow. I do have my camera gear with me, so maybe I will go shoot late at night tomorrow.
