PHOTOS Are Up

http://public.fotki.com/makofoto/2012-racing/

You can place a print order (make sure you provide an email address), see Order Box to the right of the photos. I will be notified by FOTKI, and will then upload the high rez file, cropped and enlarged, color and density corrected. If you just want the file emailed to you, you can paypal $5 to: makofoto at earthlink dot net. (Discounts for larger orders)

Please remember to provide me with the event name, file number and car type and color.

Some photos might not be perfectly sharp, but I've left them in the album for you to check out. If they aren't sharp enough, I will let you know when you place an order.

If you want extra photos taken, remind me at an event when you see me.

By charging, I can create a business around taking our photos, which permits me to file a Schedule C with my taxes ... and the IRS allows three years of losses before it declares that biz a Hobby :? :D

Great pix, Mako! Are you going to do the same thing you did a couple years ago, where we can "subscribe" for a year and get the electronic-only shots?

Should I ? Who's In ...

But perhaps we should wait for next month to see how the Run Groups get shuffled. If you run when CST runs, you could get short changed

$75 for a years worth of files, with added coverage on your car. But no guarantees, ie. if all of a sudden I need to do something on our car and miss some of your run group .... :?

We ARE planning on just running the Vette in AX. Izzy the ITA Miata was only out for Karen to get a bit of seat time before next weekend at Buttonwillow.

Thanks ... I've been using the folder from the last event as my screen saver ... I was really pleased with a lot of my shots ... especially filling up my new 27" screen.

If anyone has any suggestions or requests for photos, different angles, lower, higher, wider, blurred, razor sharp, etc. please feel free to let me know :computer:
