2011 Chicago Auto Show @ McCormick Place

2011-02-13T01:22:00.003-06:00

Big thanks goes to Charles Conner for getting me in contact with EuroCrewOnline.com to receive a media pass to cover the VW Fender edition cars at the 2011 Chicago Auto Show at the McCormick Place in Chicago, IL. The experience was unbelievable. Being a media day, I knew that there would be other photographers and camera people but didn't expect this. The people working there were very courteous to move for the camera and curious to know what I was taking pictures of. It was SUCH AN AWESOME feeling to take pictures of a beautiful machine without having to wait and wait for the clear view and no annoying backgrounds of people......no nasty finger prints and kids running around. This year the show decided to bring out the nature in people and cars together. There were a lot more echo cars and less of fancy spency cars. But hey, people wanted to see more improvements of better environment friendly cars and that's what they got.

Hello car/bike enthusiasts,

Thank you very much for your interests in my photography.

Just to give you a little information about myself, I have been taking pictures from junior high school to college level photography with art major. I have been taking pictures of cars/people/animals to etc for about 5 yrs with an SLR camera. At the moment, my focus of my photography is all natural. Thats anywhere from natural beauty to flowers, animals, lighting, capturing the moment, the weather, the happening, the way it was when I was holding that camera. That very MOMENT, is where I was at. I do NOT use photoshop at the moment but soon to be. If requested to use photoshop, there will be an extra charge.

Currently I do not have a website, therefore, please visit WWW.FlickR.com/BlackiePhotos for pictures that I have taken

For Models, please visit,

The photoshoot will consists anywhere from one hour to 3 hours max depending on the service. Photos will be taken anywhere from 200-1000 pictures and good copies from 10-50 pictures. The owner of the vehicle/bike is not allowed to take pictures during the shoot unless the model gives ok to. If taken, the model and I will leave the shoot with paid. This is to protect the model so please show respect and understanding of the rules. Pending on the service, the location of the shoot will be anywhere I need to be to where you request the photoshoot to be at. I take photography very seriously when doing a shoot so please, have the vehicle and timely avaible with no worries.

The rates are:

Silver package:$50

Cars Vs Models or Cars + Models

So I have been taking pictures of cars for last what, 7-8 years? Recently I have been revolving the car photography to car+models and really, its been a huge hit !!! For some reason though, there are always people, well acting like kids about how the ugly the girl is.......but really, when I see them in person, damn they are ugly and don't even look like they can get half of these models I post up...... is it a e-thugin issue? I don't know but damn, really? can't even enjoy the pics and the appreciation of the model?

here look at these and you tell me.........
