Hey guys,
Sorry I haven't been around lately. I've been busy, and life has been hectic and stressful and I haven't found any time to work on the site. It doesn't help that my main computer and my laptop both completely died, preventing me from working on computers at home. Anyway, Lately I've taken some photos of the Celi. I figured I'd share. These will probably be the last ones I'll ever post since I hope to sell the car soon.  Front corner of the car downtown.  Some grafiti with the Celi in the background. The camera bar I made. I was going to produce a video with my car, but time constraints eliminated that plan.  My car just past sunset moving. I thought the sign was interesting...and no, I didn't paint the Celi green. Random loading-dock shot. I almost got prosecuted for trespassing for taking this shot at Home Depot during business hours. Ready to drive(Into the wall of my garage.) Here's the whole car in that same downtown area. The collection. Another one of those fancy moving shots. I saw three of the most confused-looking security guards the night when I was taking these moving shots. That's it for now. Let me know whatcha think.

I use some industrial strength suction cups and some rags to hold and support my tripod to the car. Then I take a picture using manual focus on the camera and a 10-second self timer. Then I push the car, and with a long shutter speed, it gives it the illusion that the car is moving pretty quickly. It's difficult to setup and to take the shots without the camera bouncing too much on the lightweight legs of the tripod, and it scares me a lot because I worry about my camera falling, but the shots I took came out pretty neat.

And yeah, you should come out...it's cool if Michael comes too.

Sorry to hear about the computer situation....My laptop did the same thing about a month ago, and it somehow fried itself so it wont even turn on.
 So I know how it feels, unfortunately.On the photos though, those are some really really great shots. I'd look into getting a job shooting pics for a car magazine if I had that that kind of equipment or talent.
