Southern Cruisers Crawl - Pictures
Guys and Gals -
I have finally uploaded all of my pictures from the weekend in Hot Springs. There were around 300 pictures...so, it took me a bit.
You can check them all out on my Flickr page:
Flickr: mrgarage's Photostream
Here are a few shots from the weekend:
If anyone wants prints and/or copies of any pictures...just let me know. I print my pictures on archive grade art paper and have it backed on art board...this is great for framing or anything like that...I can do all sizes. I'll pass on the discounts I get and get them to you at my cost. I have not had time to go in and artistically touch up any photos or convert them to B&W. I can pretty much do anything to pictures...so, just let me know if there is a specific picture you like and I can play around with it. I hope everyone enjoys the pictures...I had an absolute blast.
Cheers.
- Mark

Snow -
Thanks...I was shooting with my Canon 40D with a 2.8 24-70mm. It is definitely one of my favorite lenses...it has great color, is super sharp, and has great focal length. I brought a few other lenses but, since I was driving the whole time...I never switched out.
Cheers.
- Mark

The lockers are not in yet...still sitting in our entry way. However, the truck is currently at the shop getting the super charger installed. The lockers are next and I am excited about that.

I noticed that the pics went from a bunch of red necks in Arkansas to a bunch of red necks in Columbia.
Can't wait to see the red neck pics from Argentina.

They just make more here. I think they originate where Greg and I picked up his 80 wheels. Get him to tell that story sometime. Especially the part about the guy splittin' wood with 2 axes at the same time! Quite impressive after a 12 pack.

I have seen a guy on a four wheeler in Paris within spitting distance of the eiffel tower. Funniest thing I had seen in awhile. I could hear it before I could see it. I was thinking "that noise sure is familiar"

Lenny -
I can enlarge your head if you want me to...just tell me how "big".
The pictures of the 70 are from Colombia...I was done there in August and September and they just happen to be loaded back to back against my Hot Springs pictures. Unfortunately I did not get to go off road in Tokyo...but, I will see what I can do in Argentina and Brazil.
Cheers.
- Mark

I guess I will have to live thru your pictures. Unless there is an extra jump seat.
