Looking to set up an "Evolution" photoshoot

I have a white 06 E55 and I'm looking for other Es to take pics of. I wanna go with the whole evolutionary theme from oldest to newest (obviously ending with the E63). I live in SoCal and I'd love to get together for a short photoshoot. I'm moving soon and I need a cool poster for my new room. Lol. Let me know if you're interested. Though I think it would look cooler with all white cars, I dont think the color matters very much. Let me know if you're interested so we can set something up.

If you end up printing a few posters, let me know, I'd be interested in purchasing a print.

Ok guys. It looks like there are a few of us ready to do this. I can probably do it in a few weeks. I want to give it time so we can find a few more people. I'm down to find a nice spot somewhere between all of us. We could even pick an address between us and meet up to drive around and find a place. I'm hoping we can also get a w210 and a new W211 to join in.

Hey Danny,

What type of cars are you looking for specifically other than just the chassis? Does mods play a role, slight mods or the stock/OEM look? I think this will determine the outcome of the photoshoot.

Also, Have we ever met at a GTG?

I dont think we've ever met. Believe me, I'd remember your car.

Stock or modded doesnt make a difference to me. Either way I think it will come out looking sick. Please ask around if you guys know anyone in the area that may be interested. If done right this could be really cool. Is anyone in here a photographer? I was originally planning on taking the pics myself, but if anyone here actually has any background in it please let me know and the job is alll yours. I was only planning on taking the pics cause I have a decent camera (digital Nikon SLR).

I have a Canon DSLR but it's only the xti and I only have two lenses.

If anyone has a ultra or just a wide angle lense for the photoshoot that'll be perfect IMO.

I'm down for any location. However, Not much Photo Ops here in OC unless you go South OC. Irvine does have a lot of spots I've taken some pictures though.

I'd perfer it be on a weekend but if given advance notice I can make it happen.

I can do a weekend... Its just that the only 3 days that I can do it is Fri/Sat/Sun.

Actually crap... I cant do anything until October 18/19/20.

If you guys can meet up before then go for it, if not we'll do it then.

Sound good?

Believe me, I'm gonna be there as well. I just want to set up a small photoshoot before. Maybe even sell posters at the meet for whatever charity we're supporting.

Damn. I had to teach my girlfriend to love cars, I thought it was pretty cool that a girl (which I thought appatula was) was into cars this much. But I guess not. Lol
