Hey So-Cal,

Is anyone looking for a great digital photographer to capture the most beautiful images of their SVT Lightning? If so, I am available to capture the BEST images with an array of professional equipment from Canon USA (Camera/Lenses). I will capture images for events and activities. Please note: I will come to your location to shoot, so please provide 7 days advance notice.

- Dyno tuning.
- Race track activities.
- Car shows.
- Car cruising.
- Customizing work on your SVT Lightning.
- Your SVT Lightning in action.

Here are his albums:

No offense, but these snapshots are not heavy on the creative or technical side. It takes much more than pro gear to get pro results....I'm an amateur too, so I speak from experience..

He didnt say he was charging

You have to remember there is a big part of the population that COULDNT take a digital picture that was in focus and centered to save their life ... So keep the audience in mind.

Camera phone is WAY too complicated for some people...

You're right, there's nothing about charging or payment, but the compelling buzz words in my opinion, are a bit misleading based on the images I saw:

"Is anyone looking for a great digital photographer to capture the most beautiful images of their SVT Lightning? If so, I am available to capture the BEST images"

Again, no offense intended, as we all start somewhere. It's just best to realize your own potential and limitation at a given time. Just my opinion of course.....I'm very amateur myself, so I speak from inexperience!

Hey guys,

There's no need to bash me without knowing the full facts. The pictures in my gallery were taken a few years ago using what is now an obsolete digital camera (Sony 2.1 mega pixel). lol I no longer update my gallery with new images due to there size. I am in the process of building my personal site to showcase new images especially from the Lightning community. As an SVT Lightning Enthusiast and owner, I want to share my passion with the SVT Lightning community. I look forward to shooting many SVT Lightnings on Race Days, Dyno Days or whatever works best for an individual. Again, those pictures in my gallery do not represent the pictures I will shoot for the SVT Lightning community. Please do not judge a book by its cover.

What I shoot with:

- Canon 1Ds MKII
- Canon 20D
- Canon 100mm-400mm f/4.5-5.6 IS USM lens
- Canon 24mm-70mm f/2.8
- Canon 580 Speedlite
- Many more Canon professional equipment to use.

Hey TXSVTLIGHTNING,

Those are all great pics of your Lightning. You have great photography glasses, and yes, your ditial camera is great. I live in So-Cal and wouldn't mind visiting Texas to shoot race days @ the drag strip. Anyway, this is the camera I use to shoot with based on the event(s). I only take this out for special occassions that require the largest and most beautiful images such as race days at the track, dyno days and just other great pictures of SVT Lightnings in action. By the way, your SVT looks great.
