PSCC 2009 Autocross Photos...Posted!


Hello everyone,

Thank you for your patience. The photos from this year's Palm Springs Corvette Club are officially posted online. From the main gallery, you will be able to access the two track photos galleries and three candid photos galleries.

If you are looking for pictures of your car, head over to the track photos and you'll see that the photos are grouped and sorted by car number. Remember to check out both days if you drove both days. There is a link at the top left of the galleries that says "buy" if you wish to purchase a download, print (there are many sizes to choose from), or merchandise such as t-shirts or mugs. Remember all products, except for downloads, purchased through the website are satisfaction guaranteed for 30 days. If you are not satisfied with your product, you can return it for a new print or get your money back.

If you have any questions, please send me an email.

RE: PSCC AutoCross Photos

Thank you everyone for your patience. I'm just about ready to start posting photos and will be doing so this Sunday. Unfortunately, I'll be at a job site all day and night Saturday so I won't be able to get to them until then. I'm hoping I'll be able to get internet access to at least start setting up the galleries.

Also, if you pre-purchased downloads, I will start emailing those Sunday too.

I'm really happy with how the photos came out and I can't wait to share with you!

I'm beat!

What a weekend. Thank you to all the drivers out there who purchased photos at my booth for the Palm Springs Corvette Club 10th Annual Autocross. It was a great time for all who participated and I'm looking forward to next year.

I should have all of the photos posted in at least a week (I have a few other jobs this week and I have MANY photos to go through!) and this includes any downloads that were purchased. Once the photos are up, you'll be able to order prints of almost any size as well as merchandise such as t-shirts and mugs. If you want, send me an email or go to my MySpace page and add as me as a friend. I'll email you when the galleries are posted.

I would like to thank my friends, Tim, Sarah, Steve and his family Erin & Malissa for helping with sales and marketing. I could not have done this without them. I would also like to thank Howard and Real Assist for the graphics now on my truck and of course The Palm Springs Corvette Club for allowing me to take photos for the autocross. Last but not least, I would like to thank my customers for their purchases. Nothing can be more flattering than someone willing to spend their hard earned money on the memories I capture with my camera.

With that, on this lovely Sunday evening... I'm going to pass out!

March Updates

Greetings!

I've been a little busy these days getting ready for my favorite Coachella Valley event, The Palm Springs Corvette Club Annual Charity Autocross. This two day event put on by the club helps raise money for the Riverside County Support Group for ALS, commonly known as Lou Gehrig's Disease.

So what's an Autocross? The quick and easy explanation is that's an event where a make shift track is created in a large empty parking lot primarily using traffic cones. There is a start and a finish and the idea is to make it through the track as fast as you can... without hitting any cones or going off the course. Typically if you hit a cone, a time penalty of one second is added and if you go off the course you get a "DNF" or "did not finish" and your time doesn't count. Only one car runs at a time or if the track is big enough and if it's safe, two cars can be run at the same time. Vehicles are broken down into different classes to keep competition fair.

Anyhow, I like to bring my truck out and give the Corvette guys a run for their money :-) A truck you laugh? Well, some of those guys aren't usually laughing by the time I make it past the timing lights. My truck happens to be a 2000 Ford F150 Lightning plus a little driving experience helps a little. Honestly it's a really good time for all and it's for a good cause.

So this year, I get to spend the weekend with two passions of mine. Autocrossing and photography. I volunteered my services to the club to take photos for them and I will also be selling photos to the drivers that will be there. I'll be donating a portion of what I make to the club. So in preparation I've had to put off processing photos from the past week or so including the Low Low Car Show (3/1), the Hot Air Balloon photos I took the same day and a few recent productions I've worked on.

Thanks for you patience and if you live in the area and want to check out the fun, we'll be at the Indio Fairgrounds this weekend, March 14th and 15th, 10AM to 5 PM.

Take care,

Anthony
