    Hi guys,

    I'm trying to build a more extensive personal portfolio of automotive photography to use when I submit for event credentials around the country. I've covered several events such as the Gumball 3000 in 2002, Texas World Speedway events, several car shows (Flying to Detroit this weekend to cover the NAIAS during press days), but really don't have a lot of "Magazine Type" automotive shoots under my belt. Its not that I can't shoot the cars, its just that its hard to find quality cars to take photos of sometimes.

    So...basically, I'd like to shoot anyone who is interested car at their convenience in or around the Houston area. For your time and trouble, I'll provide you with a CD of magazine quality, high resolution photos of your car for you to use however you please.

    If you would be interested in doing this and would like to see a portfolio of previous shoots of mine, please email me @ [email protected] or PM me. Thanks so much guys!

    is this the same Zerin that lost his license in one of the Gumball events, where he was going to sell the car up in San Fran? I think I got that story correctly. And I believe I met you ages ago in Houston. (I vaguely remember, and you probably will not remember me)

    Yup, this is the same Zerin. Meeting him once, and having a few good friends that know him well, I can vouch for him. Quite extensive work on the Audi as well.

    Ya know... I could show you some threads about this girl on some other Houston forums that would make you cringe.

    I'm not trying to do anything risque with women, just the cars... this is for my professional PHOTOGRAPHY portfolio, not a modeling one :)

    (Although, if you really want a good looking model in scantilly clad clothing in the photos as well, I could probably arrange that ;) )

    I understood that....LOL! You know her, eh?

    She runs with the NOI import tuner crowd, for the most part apparently........

    My work with the Orange Show Foundation and Child Advocates has RARELY seen that type of Bikini Contest.......but hey, we DO make the AIA Sandcastle Competition, I think we won a trophy last time with Rice University F&E............

    You'd have to try pretty hard to make me cringe....I ran all those clubs about 20 years ago! Westheimer didn't even reach Hwy. 6.....LOL!.

    There's an Art Car rally at the Meridian January 19, 2005.
    More details will follow................

    There's a cool old Maserati over at Pinnacle Motorsports, a neat, unusual car.

    Well the Chronicle guy DID loose the shoot of Valeria on the Ferrari Art Car hood....

    Maybe we could redo that, she still has the dress.......that was shame, as he shot for a long while.....fill flashes and all that stuff, in front of Treebeard's.

    I did get all of us with John Evans at the Ball though.....he barely fit in the car!

    LOL, I don't know her personally no but I've seen her solicit enough Houston car forums, and get laughed at for various reasons. ;)

    Anyway, keep me posted on the art car parade. I need more events to shoot after Detroit! And more cars!

    Zerin, sent you a PM;)

    I will keep my comments to myself on the Miko Morris issue:D

    However I did save a couple guys here from wasting their time and being used for nothing:)

    I'd offer to let you shoot my car but it's a lowley 308, and a "B" no less...besides, I'd have to wash it and you couldn't shoot the passenger side b/c of the ding in the door.

    Don't feel too bad. I used to wash my car once a week... now I'm lucky if I do it once a month with the weather we've been having.

    Hey,
    I have talked with the guy down at Premier Auto Exotic Rental down off of Westimer quite a bit. I am sure they would let you photograph some of the Ferraris and the Lamborghini Gallardo. They also have a Maybach 62 down there and that is a hot car. If I were you just go down there and see what they say.
