I love the how the focus of the bride is really on the flowers, but everything else is still visible and detailed. Your really going to make me buy a camera and take a class or something. Nice work.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

That wedding picture is awesome.

The name of that place is Vantage Point condos. It sits on 9th by the Shell station at the Northeast corner of downtown.

Casey, I could have a password protected forum here at ZHP Mafia. Not the entire forum. Just the forum where the pictures would be housed. Only those who want access would enter -- via password.

Let me know.

Most certainly! You need to drink if you're in NYC this time of year.

Just built a test forum for Casey's pictures. And, yep, it works. So, we just need the word from Casey. If he says it's a go, we're on. I will provide the password to anyone who requests it via PM (if the forum ever goes live).

hell yeah you do. I worked in Manhattan for 10 years. The holidays are a crazy time. Fuhgedibout New Years.

lol, plenty of tourists that's for sure. Ive only been south for 4 years now and when I go back, I almost feel like one. Very strange.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Casey, I believe, is in the desert today doing a photo shoot. I have sent him a note.

[pyreguy]

Awesome. I'm liking the password idea too.

I have never been to New York, but I always wanted to go with someone who was either from there or lived there. I feel like I would miss out on everything cool just doing the touristy stuff...

Nah-- you have to get the touristy stuff out of the way. There are must see things in NYC and they are touristy for that reason. What's great about NYC is you literally never run out of new stuff to do/new places to try. I'm there around once a month and always seem to find some great new bar or place to eat that I haven't been to before. Just an awesome city. That being said, I hate driving the bimmer in there--

[pyreguy]

I think I would hate trying to drive ANYTHING there... Taxi's are part of the experience to right?? haha

[kayger12]

Lol- definitely. I'm a little over an hour outside of the city, so I usually drive in and hit a garage and then taxi or subway my way around. Driving in NYC is only fun if your car is a pos and you don't give a crap about it.

[pyreguy]

I can TOTALLY see how that would be fun! Sometimes I miss having the POS cars I used to when I was younger. Not giving a crap is very liberating.

I don't have a problem with it.... If it makes the forum a better place, I am all for it.

I need to start travelling more, but at the current time, I have nothing scheduled for the East coast.

I like the idea Marcus, my only concern is that we could possibly be alienating new members who want to see whats in there but dont know the process of finding how to get in there.

Man, I remember when I first heard the 'c. withers' name... years ago, a DA integra pic started floating around a favored forum of mine, 'team-integra.net' and I remember thinking 'man, this guy/girl( I had no idea what your gender was at the time) is really, really flippin good. I dug through some pics and found this old picture I had saved...

It wasn't really an issue of time or anthing crazy, we had a good sunset, it was high tide so every splash on the rocks looked liked that. I think probably took 10 different shots that were all fairly usable, but this one stood out to me.

Thanks for the compliments and that picture is an old blast from the past. The owner is a local guy who is still very active in the car community and one I consider a friend. Its cool that you recognized the name and were able to associate it to an older photo of mine. Made my day.

Unfortunately, I can't. This photo was sold in a limited run of 15 individually numbered prints.

[az3579]

So, I assume that you still have it, but you would make me purchase it, and even if I was to pay for it, you couldn't because it's "limited edition" that's no longer being sold... ?

Correct. He promised that he would only produce 15. All 15 have been sold. 15/15 was the last one. Therefore, there are no more to sell -- even though he could sell well more than 15. Although, now that I think of it, it would be nice to have 16/15. Score!

You should buy the squirrel picture he has. That's one of my favorites.

I wasn't originally looking to "buy" anything, but just after I posted that I fully realized that he's a professional; he's not going to give away any pics for free, so I guess it wouldn't have mattered anyway whether he was going to provide me with that pic.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Now that I think of it, I wasn't thinking that he would sell it to you either. I was thinking that he'd give it to you, too. When I saw your comment, though, about buying it (hypothetically), then it occurred to me that he would sell it to you (assuming you were a buyer and he had something to sell).

We having fun yet?

I'm going to recycle this pic from another thread I posted it in.

Marcus,

[C Withers Media]

I am not above or beyond letting people use hi res for desktops and stuff like that but I have to maintain integrity on files, especially when it comes to a photo that has been sold to others. Ultimately, it becomes a case by case basis, so feel free to ask. If I can, I will.

Completely understood Casey, don't worry about it. :)

By the way, I submitted a couple of your pictures to European Car magazine last month. Pictures of my car, of course.

These two:

Identified you as the photographer. It's a long shot. We'll see. Submitted as part of their "Money Shot" feature.

[C Withers Media]

Very cool Mark. Let me know how the process goes or if you need anything else from me.


Here is a 21 shot panoramic of San Diego Bay. On the right hand side you can see the North reaches of Naval Station Coronado reaching the left expanse of Little Italy. This shot in full resolution is 40 MB of data and could produce a 15ft long x 3 ft tall poster.

How did you get the clouds to line up so nicely for you Casey? You even control the clouds?

[Marcus-SanDiego]

In San Diego, Casey has been given the key to the city. As such, he is able to control not only everything on the ground but also everything in the sky.

[C Withers Media]

I also determine sunset colors and quality of sunset according to another friend named Adot.

[az3579]

If only you could control what cars are allowed on the road... :biggrin
