Hey guys,

I think it would be pretty cool, if we all got together and took some group pictures of our cars for the calendar.

We'd need someone with a good camera and photography skills (Bobby?) and a nice location to meet up. (Ideas?)

I was thinking maybe do it mid-october, that should give people time to figure out schedules and hopefully get a big turnout.

Thoughts?

my car is back on the road, but still misfiring. Any weekend day is good for me, unless the Skins are on

Hey! Any excuse to have to come up there works for me. But, dude, I'm no professional photographer, but I can bring my tripod and camera up...mid-October sounds good too, I still need to replace my clutch.

As far as the location...You guys are more familiar with it than me, but I'll think about it.

The fact that you have a tripod says that you are a better photographer than me, lol.

Sheesh, I need to get me a tripod, lol. At least we will have plenty of tripods in case someone forgets theirs.

Ok, i will let you guys in on a little secret, I am a professional photographer with a problem. That problem being, I don't have a kit. I do have an old SLR, but if someone has a DSLR, i would be more than happy to shoot this. You may ask, "why the F*ck doesn't a pro have a kit?" Well, I am military, they always give me one when I need it... If need be, I might be able to get one for the weekend...

Well this is good news on the photographer. Unfortunately, when I bought my camera, I really wanted a DSLR, but I couldnt afford it. I got mine mainly for taking macro shots of my reef tank, and for taking pictures of my car...

I have a buddy who has a Nikon D something...he is a Subaru guy and takes photos for Subaru events...but I doubt he is down for a trip up there...and I doubt he would let me borrow it

But, as far as location, I think, as corny as it is to us, that it should have some sort of monument, representing DC. I think the rest of the guys on the forum would probably think its cool...

Also, is everyone besides me from Maryland?

Yeah, I think that we need to represent the area. Not nessecarily DC, but old town alexandria, annapolis, etc.

As long as this doesn't happen on the 11th or 12th I can probably make it.

I am going to be busy until the 17th, so the 18th works for me. Anyone have ideas on the shoot location?
