Photo......shop
I've had several nice suprises arising from my Chaparral Racing photos. Last week I was contacted by Paige Summer of the Petroleum Museum saying that she had seen the website and asking if they could use some of the images in their newsletter and possibly the website and some printed material. I was glad to offer them to the Museum and so today I stopped by to allow her to download the digital images into her computer. We had a nice chat during which she added that current Indy 500 winner Gil De Ferran had also seen the website and was interested in prints of my shots of he and his son sitting in the Chaparral. Glad to oblige...so I'll be sending some to he and his wife in Florida.
This proves out some sage advise I was given years ago by a friend Steve Northup, a former combat photographer and now an instructor at the Santa Fe Workshops. In conversation I had asked Steve what was his one secret to taking good photographs. Without blinking Steve said, "take all the shots you can, don't ever let anyone see the really bad ones, you will no doubt take some good ones, and a few great ones and someone will eventually want some of them". Good advice, not that I consider these great shots......but at least someone wants them!
