I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

Wow Tom! This is epic set! One of your best! Such vibrant colors and captured artfully! Bravo!
Good set Tom...
Many thanks, sir. Years ago ( heck, I was shooting Velvia slides ) I shot some similar-themed abstracts of some of the Porsches raced by the Brumos organization out of Jacksonville. Brumos established a very private.....you have to know somebody to get in....museum that was dedicated to showcasing a lot of their cars and accomplishments they had in their racing endeavors.. I was really honored when they elected to put my pictures on display when they opened that magnificent facility.
Thanks, Rags. I'd bet that you recognize shot # 10 as being the car number and racing color scheme for the Porsches raced under the Brumos Porsche banner. The late champion Peter Gregg and his ultra-successful protégé, Hurley Haywood, raced this car number and colors on a number of winning cars for a long time. Brumos was a real force, particularly in IMSA racing.
Oh cool! Private collection to view! You mentioned velvia slides! Oh my! Are we old? I shot VELVIA 50 for 10 years or so. Would do anything for bright colors. Back then I couldn't fix anything in post obviously. There were times when I spent whole reel on one shot hoping light would be fine in one of them!
Great set Tom. Really enjoyed it.

Many thanks, my friend. I know that you, too, share an appreciation for the abstract.
I hear you, brother. I wish I had the money I spent on Velvia 50. I was shooting with Nikon's F4 and F5 cameras and a whole bag of Nikon's best glass. I was slow to come around to the digital world. The ability to do my own PP work, though, finally pushed me to all-out digital. Damn, Taz, that seems like a million years ago.
Striking set Tom. Outstanding images and colors! Really like #4! But, they are all...wow!

I like 7, ,8 and 9 for their functionality.....good set.
What Taz said!
Luck happens when preparation meets opportunity!
Thanks for your comments, buddy.
Many thanks, Willard.
It's good to hear from you, Phil. I appreciate the visit.
I missed this before. Car photos don't usually grab me but the unusual framing and unexpected focal points set this set above the norm. Very well done.
