Returned from Monticello, NY and the CTS-V (Bob Lutz) Challenge (search the web for more info and race results). Started very rainy & cloudy, but sunshine prevailed and so did the Cadillac CTS-V. Most of what I shot was HD video, so until I sort through my stills, here are a couple images that caught my eye from around the Monticello Motor Clubhouse…
UPDATE: yes, my footage used well on SpeedChannel’s half hour CTS-V Challenge show from December 8.
A lone service call in the middle of an empty Motor Mall in Warren, MI. There are several lots around here, linked together by similar No Trespassing/Electronic Surveillance signs.
Stumbled across this on LightStalkers; a fantastic documentary on street photography by Chris Weeks. “Street Photography: Documenting the Human Condition.” In three parts, begins here:
Downtown Detroit, 2009: a herd of deer were spotted in chalk on the side of a building badly in need of rescue (both building and deer). Much like the lion van below, these creatures are penned safely behind a fence. Of sorts.
Santa Monica, CA 2009. Day before my own departure. A study in perspective.
In case you might be feedin’ offa this here blog, do a little update to your feedbag source. Changed from BLOGGER to WORDPRESS. Trying to make it as painless as possible.
What does one find when strolling AnyStreet, USA in backdropstudioland? A bent lamp post with a pop can in the socket. A light rig hiding behind the curtains of a quaint book store. And bicycles in the Chocolat Shoppe. AnyStreet USA. A curious familiarity from a scene you seen. Somewhere late at night. In a theater near you.
A couple of my entries have completed the first three rounds of judging in the International Photography Awards 2009 and now have been named OFFICIAL SELECTIONS. They include the single image “Vegas Couch” and the reproduced food image series “Delicious” (three sample images below).
Delicious statement: An image series of commercially created and idealistically presented foods and dishes, passed through the filter of time, age, distance, weather and photographic reproduction into new serving suggestions.
Was in Montreal the weekend of August 8th for musical pursuits (Fortune & Maltese and the Phabulous Pallbearers) and of course had to stop by the Expo ’67 grounds. After many wrong turns (despite having the latest GPS and iPhone navigation information available) and driving through a casino parking garage, we reached the destination. Here in front of the Biosphere entrance lies a discarded cork-heeled pump of sorts and a flat water bottle carcass.
An informational display highlighting vegetation and ecology is beyond the Biosphere. Further down the path are some excellent hot dogs.
