The Project

Alright well the time has come to bring some traffic to my Flickr account. I have decided to start a photo compilation that will initially be populated over the next 9 weeks during my Winter Work Term. The idea here is to track the progress over a given amount of time to see improvements and to have fun! I will be shooting at least once a week over the next 9 weeks. I may continue this on further but I do not know what my commitment level will be like once I am back at school with other things to prioritize.

I would like to get some feedback from whomever views the set, please do so on Flickr. I do not want to just read things like "they look awesome!!!!!!!:)" or "you are the bestest photog ever" because the idea is to improve, be ruthless, well maybe not ruthless, but give some constructive criticism I am looking for it. I wouldn't share these with anyone, if I didn't want to know what you thought. Tell me what you like, what you don't like, what you think would make it better, ideas on things to shoot etc.

I am doing this to occupy my time as well as to improve my skills and make myself more rounded since it seems like everything I am doing these days involves numbers and science, it will be fun to get to use the more abstract creative side of my brain.

So stay tuned the first set is up that I shot last night in Downtown Buffalo right on the water. I will link the set here every time there is an upload and I would appreciate if you would look and maybe even offer up some opinions. The set is called Winter Work Term Photo Project '10.

The North Shore Concours d'Elegance

Being a newly transplanted New Englander I was curious to learn how my interests would mix in with the natives. Luckly I was able to find out this past weekend, my sister invited me to the North Shore Concours d'Elegance which was held at Essex College.

Despite no Wayne Carini sightings it was a very nice show that hosted many quality vehicles with plenty of cranberry Bermuda short and penny loafer wearing locals. The show was broken up into two sections, there was an area for the not so serious, as well as the full monty all or nothing concourse show for the heavy hitters.

I liked the diversity that was present. There was a good mix of American Muscle, European, and Classics which helped keep the interest up. I hate going to a show that is full of the same 3 cars over and over again.

The View
The view looking out over the show.

356 WHITE
PORSCHE 356A!!! with the rare factory sunroof!!!!! all original!!!!!!!

Turbo Jet
I will own a cherry numbers matching 1970 Chevelle 454 4spd someday...

S30
This had the cleanest interior of any S30 I have ever seen.

I of course would have liked more participation from the Porsche community, but lets be honest they were all probably out actually driving their wonderful cars not rubbing them with a diaper. I also could have gone without looking at the loaded Acura TL that was among the few new cars on display; now I will have to keep myself from taking a trip to the dealership with my checkbook.

The rest of the album can be found HERE.

Enjoy.
