On Sunday and Monday, 1/20-1/21, I went up to Detroit with some friends and hit the Auto Show. This was the first year without Porsche since I started going 7 or 8 years ago.
As usual, I really enjoyed the various concept cars. My favorites were the Mazda racer and the Audio R8. I really liked the Mini Cooper area and the new Clubman is pretty nice. I would love to get a Mini Cooper S Convertible or even a little Clubman. I miss my old Mazda Miata and the Mini Cooper S is the closest thing that can seat 3 to fit in the family.
If you're heading to the show, check out the DUB cars. They certainly have some interesting customs.
Overall, I was a bit disappointed with the Ford display this year. The Mustang Mirrors look extremely cheap and there was a bit of a cheap feel to them. on the opposite, the Mazda display was pretty cool with 2 very interesting concept cars. I think Lexus, Acura and Ferrari had the best looking Product Specialists!
Also, I entered some pictures in the annual NAIAS Photo Competition. If you want to check them out, here are the links:

US Air Force Museum
Today, a bunch of us went over to Wright-Patt Air Force Base and visited the museum. This was our second trip there and we spent the day shooting HDR photos.
Here is one showing a WWI Tri-Plane attacking an allied blimp.

Punk Rocker
Welcome to my blog! This is my first post to and I thought I would talk about my last photo shoot on Sunday.
Zack and his brother, Justin, came over to Terry William's studio and I got to grab a few shots of their great mohawks!
We had two areas setup for the shoot, a High Key area with a white backdrop and Alien Bee lights, and a Low Key setup with a black background and lights.
As we were shooting, we pulled in the Drywall Platform that was in the entry room for some work in the lobby.
This was one of my favorite shots of Zack. He was wearing a Ramones shirt and Terry had his son bring over a Bass guitar. We put his jacket on the platform and started shooting away. I asked him to give me a good snarl aka Sid Vicious and got this great moody shot!
