goodbye my love…

it had been almost 10 years together.  we’d been through a lot of  blood, sweat, tears, and cussing.  

she was my baby. my love. my first ride that dynoed at 330 RWHP (back in the day).  

she’s fast and fun to drive.  when i asked for the power, she delivered.

this car gave you and your car a complex. this car made your car vibrate when i pulled up next to you.  

this car was the loud, obnoxious, throaty V8 that people could hear coming before you spotted her. she made people roll their window up or shoot you nasty looks because she was louder than their music.

never thinking that i’d sell my baby, my grape ape was sold to someone else today.

as much as i love my 50mm lens, it’s not very practical for photographing cars.  wish i thought about that before dropping her off.  doh.

needless to say, i’m extremely sad.  but i think it was time to move on.  she wasn’t being driven like she used to and i admit that i’ve kinda neglected her a lot over the past few years.  hopefully the new owner will give her the attention she deserves.

a poll – which version looks better?

in need of opinions since i cant decide, so i decided to ask you cool kids for some opinions…

we have a winner. my art sold – yesssss!

i’ve talked about my art gallery experience over the past 6 months or so and now that it’s open, i figured i can finally talk about it.

formerly a prison shut down, Lorton Arts Foundation created the Workhouse Arts Center. this was a huge renovation that took a couple of years to complete.  the end result – a renewed facility that accommodates the creative community.

if you come visit, expect to find a wide range of art including painting, glass work, wood work, ceramics, precious metal jewelry, wire sculpture, fiber arts, photography, mixed media, theatre, and more.

this was the facility that i struggled to get into and successfully was accepted.  in doing so, my first officious piece of art sold! hooray!

through all the jurying, the hassle of getting prints and assembling frames, and meeting guidelines and schedule – the end goal has been met.  someone thought that one of my photos was good enough to hang on their wall.    

YESSS!

i’m surpised, but happy nonetheless.  hopefully some of my other pieces will be thought worthwhile too. feel free to check it out – my stuff at the Workhouse.
