new to the site and ready to take in as much as i can. ive been into photography for a year now, and into cars my entire life. i recently realized that i will never have the time and money to build the show cars that i have always wanted so i decided to do the next best thing and photography them. i dont know that i ever plan to make a living doing it, but i wouldnt mind making a little cash on the side and maybe getting a few shots into a magazine. any help from all of you pros is greatly apperciated.

thanks,
derric

Welcome to the forum....although I am a relative newbe to the forum as well, I am lucky to know several of the pro photographers that post here and from where I am standing, they are the best in the business!

Being from just north of Columbus Ohio, I know how Mother Nature can throw a "curve ball" come Spring time, but my gawd, what happened this weekend to my beloved Cleveland Indians is a crime! LOL

Back on topic: Look forward to seeing your work.....
