Congrats Man!!!

I am sure that felt good. Did you get some free food or something out of the deal??

Looking good hombre! I really dig the white Lo, especially with all the blacking out. The contrast is killer.

Congrats.


After a local run, I attended a local car/bike show since I didn't want to go home yet. However, there were more bikes on the run since the so-called car/bike show only had around 5 bikes entered. It was very disappointing, especially considering the car/bike show was held behind a custom motorcycle shop though they did have to compete with a nearby car show at the same time. On the other hand, one of the local bike nights held each Wednesday night at one of bars may have over 100 bikes sitting in the parking lot(s) many of which are fully decked out.

I remember the first time I took a photo which was published in a magazine. It felt good. Then later I got a cover shot with a several page layout. It felt even better. Then I got published by a magazine that is published on two different continents. It probably can get addicting if you let it.
