Default Hey everyone -----> I'm back, long time no see

I haven't bee on CL for a while.
I just looked at my stats and realized I joined in 2005 and have under 400 posts in 5 years. Kinda sad...

Well anyways I'm back, been super busy shooting weddings this year.
Here is some of the latest fun stuff I've been shooting.

Oh and during this last snow storm I learned a few things....
Even though I raised my car to stock height for the winter and put my 17" wheels back on it doesn't help me drive in the snow any better.........

I was driving on interstate 95 when the snow storm hit. Traffic was crawling everyone (myself included) was probably only driving 30mph.
It was almost impossible to touch the gas pedal without the back end going crazy and this was even with traction control on.
So I'm doing 30 minding my own business with 3 friends in the car at like 5am coming home after a party and I guess I hit this crazy wicked patch of ice and totally lost control of the spin and went backwards into a center highway divider.
I'm just soo happy that everyone was ok, no other cars were involved, we didn't get stuck in the middle of the interstate at 5am, and super happy that the only damage was the bumper.....

Now I have a good excuse to get the chargespeed bumper I always wanted.

Yep I have some black duct tape on there now.
I want to go to a decal/graphics shop and get some band-aid stickers made to put over the duct tape. hahahaha

I'm not gonna spend money on a nice expensive bumper till the spring.
It's supposed to snow again on Friday, oh hell no.....

ouch, just put some epoxy in the cracks and tape it up. with any luck it will bond and you can sand it smooth. then later buy a new bumper =)

I was thinking about just cutting off the 1/4 section that is falling off (because the duct tape didn't work) and riding around with a partially missing bumper for a month or so until the snow stops for good. But that is a good idea epoxy it back on there temporarily.. I just might do that..

Lot of patience & a cintiq 21ux



For that shot I used a heavy combination of - eraser, pen tool, smudge, clone stamp, paint brush tools
