Working To Make It Work

It’s certainly been a busy couple of weeks here at Cruisin’ Photography. Since attending the CCSU Fall Car Show on the 17th, most of our time has been spent creating and mailing out one-of-a-kind Digital Auto Art orders and updating the website.

Saturday October 23rd saw Kathy and I back at the Leather and Sound premises in Hartford delivering the end results from our recent shoot there (http://daveburnhamphotography.blogspot.com/2010/10/leather-and-sound-photoshoot-october.html). Loaded into the trusty Subaru Legacy were three 11x17 inch and two framed 20x30 inch prints.

First to take delivery of his prints was Leather and Sound boss Johnny Vazquez. He had ordered 11x17 prints of his Cobra replicas and was absolutely delighted with the end results. So much so that Johnny immediately showed them to one of his customers who expressed an interest in Cruisin’ photographing his two drag cars and pitbulls!

As we were discussing this, Ramon and Maria Medina turned up to collect a framed 11x17 print of Maria’s black Honda Accord. Once again another happy client! Maria’s order was tinged with sadness, however. A couple of days after we had photographed her Accord, she awoke to discover that some lowlifes had stolen all four wheels and tires from her car.

The final recipient was Papo Amdino, who was taking delivery of framed 20x30 prints of his white BMW and black Honda Civic. Within seconds, the Leather and Sound store became an impromptu art gallery as prints were placed against speaker enclosures to allow everyone, including customers, to view the artwork from a distance. Papo must have liked what he saw, commissioning Cruisin’ to photograph his BMW X5 that was parked outside. As I prepared the camera, our friend Albert Caquias, the president of the K.O.D. car club, arrived and decided to have a shot of his Honda taken!

Thanks once again to all of our clients, to Ramon for setting up the original shoot and to Johnny Vazquez for allowing Leather and Sound to be the meeting point for us all.

After a very enjoyable Sunday lunch with family at the Wayside Inn in Marlboro, MA, it was back to work on Monday. The website links page was given a revision with some new links added and more to follow (http://www.cruisinphotography.com/Weblinks.htm). If you would like to do a link exchange with Cruisin’ Photography, e-mail Kathy or me through the site and we will be in touch. I have also been devoting some time to a new line of products that will be debuted soon on the site – stay tuned…

As the season’s car shows come to an end here on the east coast, it doesn’t mean that Cruisin’ Photography’s one-of-a-kind Digital Auto Art stops as well. You can send your own high-resolution files and a few ideas of what style of image you require and leave the rest to Cruisin’ Photography - it’s that easy!
