Let's make this happen.

Meet, cruise then photo shoot will be great.

Any date/location?

Are you guys prefer single meet or group meet? I don't know how many members here that active and willing to go for a meet.

Throw some ideas and make this happen.

Dsayed, unfortunately my studio is in Cali, I just got up here last week. I do have a portable lighting set up for on location shoots. My normal rate for a car shoot is $250 for one car but I don't mind snapping just candid group shots of everyone and posting. But if a group of forum GUIs want to get shots done I can drop it down if there is enough people. I can provide posters and prints as well.

Definitely let me know!

Yeah, usually we have 1 or 2 in the group taking pictures then posted in the forum.

Let's make this meet happen!

Btw I know weather here is sucks, worst scenario we can have a meet in the mall parking garage.

I am definitely down to come, but please remember guys walking around taking pictures and a full lighting set up (not speed flashes, real studio strobes) on location is 2 different things.

How about 8am Northgate Mall by Nordstrom?
It is about 2 miles to Patty's Eggnest from there and ample parking obviously.

And afterwards I think we should go to Phil Smart at Airport Way so that Bondo who works there can see our rides
