I Married a Photographer

We have really thrown our time and efforts into our stands for the next two big events Bloomsburg’s Car show and the Art Fest.  Designing and ordering t-shirts, banners, making up order forms, our days have been packed with planning, working, eating, sleeping and more planning. Its a lot of work but enjoyable.  It finally feels like we’re taking our raw ideas and making a business name for ourselves.  I find that with each step we take business-wise, we’re eons from where we started.
Most recently, Dean has worked on a set of shots from a car show that feature the sexy parts of cars.  He calls it car porn, which he posted on his flickr account.  The collection consists of single shots that may or may not have been cropped, to show the off curves and sexy features of these amazing vehicles.  When he was working on these, I only saw one of the finished images. It was the grill of an old Dodge (I’m guessing), the car was a shiny deep blood/maroon red, of course it was immaculate!  The man who had it at the show wasn’t the owner but he told me that he’d pass our card on to him.  What I thought was unique about this car was it’s grill, long, lean and clean it had this sort of boastful look to it.  Proudly sitting in a neat row with lots of other well kept vehicles, my eye was drawn to it.  Dean took a few different views of this car but this single final shot was so sharp, I was speechless. Take a look through the entire set, let us know what you think.  Another one of my favorites is the one of the rumble seat.

Please refer to part one to get the possibly missed ideas for this entry.
After the party, Dean was called by a co-worker.  He advised him that there was a gathering of local classic car owners who were showing off their goods nearby.  We, of course, went to see the spectacle outside of Mount Carmel.  The weather was turning iffy so I wasn’t sure how some of the shots would look once processed.  In total, there were about 15 vehicles on display, the owners all mingling about the parking lot.  Watching Dean, I attempted to ‘see’ what he was seeing and I couldn’t quite put my finger on it.  I know the end result is not the same as being there but I thought there would have been better photo ops at the party.  Little did I know, the  impact of the creative genius at work.  Take a look at this.  The angry sky, contrasting these shiny, new looking vehicles really made for a great backdrop.  Dean has processed a handful from Saturday’s events and some are posted on his Flickr page with the newest ones on Facebook.
