  • First road trip after the body work was completed.  This shit was taken on I10 somewhere between San Antonio and El Paso.  I've often wanted to go back with a real camera.

  • The field of sunflowers in front of the Toyota Tundra Plant in San Antonio, TX.  My first attempt at post-processing with Adobe Photoshop.  However, still limted by that MINOLTA DIGITAL CAMERA.

  • An abandoned dealership outside Mustang, TX.  I almost didn't stop, since I was in a hurry to get to College Station, but I'm happy I did, because that building has since been repainted and no longer says MUSTANG AUTO.  My second attempt at major post-processing.  Again, MINOLTA DIGITAL CAMERA

  • Fun with shadows.  I caught a lot of grief for these, as most prefer clean pictures of the car with minimal distractions and clutter.  For this one, I see the car as just part of the photo, not as the only focal point.

  • This one went through CS3 four times at the suggestions of others to get the final result.  I ended up removing background lights from buildings and the highway, reflections in the car, and finally the lights themselves in the roof of the covered parking.

  • One of my personal favorites, even though it is a bit dark.  I like the bare suggestion of the car, the twinkling of the foglights, and the triangular shape of the subjects in the photo.  If you think it's too dark, your monitor sucks! LOL
