Another great day at Harris Hill Road!

I always enjoy photographing at Harris Hill Road, a neat natural terrain road course in San Marcos, Texas. The owners are great, the drivers are great, and the cars that show up for their event are always a treat. August 21 and 22 was the last event I photographed, and Lister and a Noble were two of the most interesting cars to show up. About half the field were new Camaros, but as expected several Corvettes, S2000's, a Nissan or two and two NS-X's. Cruise on over to the Saturday and Sunday galleries for more photos!

It's called Garage Art for a Reason!

The Print-On-Metal: Why do I call it Garage Art again?

Some of you have seen a recent offering of mine, the "Print On Metal" from Pounds Photo Labs (see Pound's description here for more info, or just email me). Its a really cool product that's PERFECT for the car guy. Not only is the image very vibrant, very colorful and detailed, it is also very durable. In fact Pounds claims it is the "soundest archival product on the market today". So, if you are like me and you hang car photos in your garage that's a pretty big deal. Garages can get very hot, very cold, very humid, and none of this is going to effect a print on metal like it will a paper print. Especially not a paper print behind glass, which in high humidity can be a problem.

And then there is another problem with framed paper prints: the glass. I call the print on metal "garage art" for a reason: its perfect for the garage. No frame to buy, no glass to break. Oh yes, that breaking glass thing. Has it ever happened to you? It did to me just recently:


This was not staged! It actually happened. That door closed a bit too hard and that picture fell to the ground. Broken glass where I drive and park my car is NOT a good thing. Fortunatley of the two framed pictures on that wall only one fell. The print-on-metal above it also stayed up, but if it had fallen there'd be no broken glass to worry about!

The print on metal is noticeably more expensive than the same sized print. The cost to me is noticeably higher as well, and its only natural the extra cost of materials is passed along. But considering there is no frame to purchase, and the peace of mind, and the durability, its a great value when all is said and done.

Available in sizes up to 16x20", either as a straight print, a customized print, or even a multi-image collage. Order yours today!
