Showed up at an engagement shoot on my sweet ride. They weren't sure what to think at first, but it never fails to win people over:D

Is that you on the bike, or the two of them? Lovely shot.

Thats them :)

Dude! You are a serious capture the moment kind of guy. Any fool can point and click, and there are many pros out there that can do your standard wedding, senior picture stuff, but you sir have the eye.

You're a ******* for making me think I should chase the dream and change careers.

I liked the bulletin on Myspace better! :p

A fine compliment, thanks!!

And bmclaughlin807- I actuallygot scolded by a bunch of brides on there for that post title. Seems brides get nervous when they think their photographer might not be around for their wedding haha :D

I couldn't agree more, except that when I see this level of talent I realise that I'd best stick to engineering when it comes to earning a living.:o

BAH, would you mind posting a few pictures of your bike, or drop a link to the relevant thread if you have posted them already? Thanks.

I never mind posting pictures of my ride :)

haha right you are if it were for something. However, it is just a documentary photo out for a morning ride with my camera, coffee and pastry :D

You had professional ones made? Niiiice. Looking forward to seeing that.

before i was a photographer i was a graphic designer and i've done everything from mint tins to convention booths with animated kiosks...so it comes in handy:)

i looked at a few materials...aluminum (too heavy)...pvc (too spendy) and settled on corroplast...the shop said they should be able to print the images fine and that it's water proof and inks shouldn't fade...so we'll see...corroplast has ridges so if you look super close it looks like banding...but i'm thinking most people will see the sign from afar, or when i'm riding in the street so something like that won't be too big of an issue....

i should get it by friday, so i'll take some snaps then....

derek...here are some snaps of the sign...

That looks really good! How much did it end up costing? I gotta get professional signs made now..
