Nothing for ages...then it all happens at once....

So I've been photographing cars for years for fun and occasional profit, I've had stuff published all over the world in a small scale over many years, couple of articles on trips I took to the USA before I emigrated were in a UK Hot Rod Club magazine, had some pictures of the GM Motorama Cars in an Italian College Textbook, and supplied a car shot for the Manifolds on Main Car Show giveaway collector cards a couple of years ago....then suddenly in the past couple of months....

The Raydar Magazine project comes to be, very quickly, and just this week, I've supplied pictures for a new book on East & West Coast style Hot Rods & Customs to be published in early 2012!

So...here's to more soon.....

Dogs.....

So, we have two dogs....both rescues...because thats the best way to do it, save a puppy!! Pup #1 is Bowe Diddley, he's a Basset Hound/German Shepard Mix, he's a great dog, not too big, not too small.... Faithful, loving, obedient...to a point, and ULTRA-Protective to me and my wife. Bowe is 3 years old.Soon to be attending the same classes as Jerry Lee (see below)

Our other dog is a pure bred American Staffordshire Terrier....VERY OFTEN confused with a Pit Bull, they are the same family, but smaller (in most cases) than the Pit Bull. Jerry Lee is 18 month's old, loving & ULTRA protective also, he is currently undergoing training with Jas Leverette's California Canine Solutions, check out the Cali K9 Site

The ball's rolling faster & faster....

So since my last post just a few days ago, The Raydar Magazine ball has started rolling faster & faster....... We have a complete issue ready to print... We have an official launch party planned at The Ace Cafe on December 7th, if your in the area, be sure to drop in & check it out...there will be raffles and other fun stuff, as well as a car-park full of Hot Rods & Kustoms, and even a Dj spinning cool tunes.... Remember folks...if its cool...its on the Raydar

The cat's outta the bag..............

Thats right folks....

December 7th 2011 marks the official launch of The Raydar Magazine in the UK....booze fueled stupid idea to publish a magazine by a couple of my friend's in the UK has somehow snowballed into an actual product!

One of them is a Kustom Kulture Artist, the other is a piss artist....

They stupidly asked me to come aboard as I can type & almost string a sentence together into something that resembles a story, and have been known to point a camera at the odd car or two.

Anyway....should you find yourself in the area, drop by The Ace Cafe on December 7th for the kick off party. I sadly won't be there, but I do have a story...or maybe 2 in the premier issue.

If you like the sound of this, check out the FaceBook page for current info or order online at the official Raydar webpage.

Big things coming soon.....

Yes its been a while but things have been hectic at Chez Pro Photo ...

Myself and several other members of my club have obtained a part share in a workshop space locally which is fully equipped to work on our old cars. This winter will see major progress on several of our projects.

As for myself, following Pebble Beach this summer I was asked to contribute to a new (and as yet, untitled) magazine project being launched in the UK towards the end of 2011! Its an excellent opportunity for my work to be shown to a wider audience and who knows where it could lead. I've seen several pages of my contribution in the planning stages and have to say I am very happy with how it's looking so far.

Watch this space for more updates as and when I get them.
