Couldn't figure out what the stink was in the air 10 minutes ago.
Walked out and saw this about 75 yards from my shop: (and no, not a car I worked on either)

The last one in the sequence is TERRIFIC, Brad... Use it for a "self-portrait" and call it "What I Always Dreamed of Being", jejejeâ�¢

i suspsect that this is really shannon's rental car, burned in an effort to cover up his consorting with the enemy...

in fact, given how others on this site have problems getting shots like this, or wind up being harrassed by local authorities, the more i think about this, these images appear to be the exact type of set up shots that i would expect from BradP and scalvert working together...

yes, my friends, i think we are in for a world of hurt if these two join forces...

on the other hand, in the offbeat chance i'm being overly paranoid, let me throw in a "great set of shots, brad!"

Uh, oh. We've been caught! Check out some pics from our GTG. These are all either straight out of the camera or cropped. Haven't had time to process yet.

Brad, the rental company still needs an estimate on the Caddy we toasted. ;-)

Greetings,
Very nice shots BradP, allow me to share a few of mine that were taken about 2 months ago of a car fire I stumbled across while out shooting some landscapes...

On the topic of car fires, here's one I stumbled upon a few years ago when shooting start trails :

Yeah, but using an inverter, not jumper cables! Auto mechanic indeed.

Inverter? Thought that's what the flip vertical setting was for.
DOH!

02/09/2005 05:08:20 PM · #12

Tsk, tsk. Reversing the jumper cables does not make an inverter. I tried to warn you, but nooo..

02/09/2005 05:12:55 PM · #13

Yeah, but how did I know you were color blind?
Guess Red & Black look pretty much the same huh?
Oh well, at least we were able to make it into 7-11 for some marshmallows before they put the fire out...
hehehehe

Cue Homer Simpson voice- "Mmmm... toasted marshmallows." Gotta remember to bring a more suitable stick next time- the tripod legs were too big and heated up pretty quickly. Ah, but it was fun, and the eyebrows will grow back eventually.

Brad's bazooka of a teleconverter did look awfully suspicious. My escape plan was to point to Brad and ask if anybody wanted Steven Spielberg's autograph (the resemblance is uncanny).

Look at The Master photo near the bottom if this page. Speilberg and Brad were obviously separated at birth.
