    Well last night I graduated from Newark High School, it's been a long journey already but hopefully I'm ready for what's to come. I'm taking a year off to save up because I want to go to the Art Institute of Miami or Fort Lauderdale next year(got accepted this year but would've been a struggle). So instead of a computer or anything else, I chose to get a new camera for my graduation present. Picked up a basic Nikon D40 yesterday and I love it. I know it's nothing special compared to most SLR cameras but I'm used to the $100 point and shoot ones. Anyways, I'm looking to be constantly using this thing, so if anyone in the area(I live in Newark DE, but constantly up in Greenville and 202/PA area) has a car that they'd like photographed, let me know. I'd love any chance I can get to practice with my new camera. So drop me a PM or comment or something and let me know!

    -Wes

    Hey Jon, I still have to get you some artwork that I talked about oh so long ago haha. My old comp crashed with all the pictures I took that one morning of your GT3. But if you would still like some artwork, I'm up for it, out of school now and I have to find ways to keep in practice. And me and my bro are definately coming up to the Starbuck's meet very soon. We tried to make it last weekend but some things happened and couldn't. Hopefully we can get his new straight pipes welded up before hand so it's nice and loud for the run!

    Thanks guys for the kind words. Anyone going up this Saturday? I know some won't be there but if anyone wants to do a photo run let me know and I'll talk to my bro and see if we can come up in his 911. We've found tons of great spots on the backroads up in that area to take pics, basically driving around for a few hours a day and just see what we run into.

    Very cool drive today. Did a short wicked run with this Ferrari. Met the owner and he let me take some pics when we stopped to talk. The gentleman was a very cool guy, very nice. Hope to see you again on the road sometime soon! Then on the way home we headed back into newark as the front of a bright yellow bull comes towards us. Made the first U-turn possible and flew to catch up. Followed all the way from newark to Greeneville. Talked to the owner, picked it up last monday and when asked how it drove and how he liked it so far he replied, "alright". Cool car, the looks people gave to both he and my bro's 911 were priceless as we were side by side in traffic.
