Dragonflyer, I sent you the shots please let me know if you got them.
I saw Killgirl's shots and I think it is more a matter of different ways in approaching the art. They make a living off their pics - something I could never do. For every one or two good pics I take I get a ton of throw away material. I doubt that they are throwing away many shots and nothing like number of shots I toss in the trash bin. If they wanted to they could take shots like mine but the result would be selling many fewer pictures (and maybe upsetting some customers). I held off posting my pictures out of respect to them (I doubt that they are worried about my few pics anyway but I have great respect for them and I felt I should).

Your shots are awesome and you have a great attitude.
We really don't think you are trying to compete with Killboy or Killgurl, but I agree with Dragonflyer, that some of your shots are better looking.
But I also understand the limitations Killboy and Killgurl have and they in fact do have plenty of great shots anyway.
Cheers,

I find John DaCrema to be pretty much an awesome person overall. 
Great shots too. I wish we hadn't been in the same class. It's hard to shoot when you are running.
I hope you enjoyed your runs in the classic at the autocross John.
I know Amanda appreciated the use of your car for the last two runs.
Here's a pic of the car park at the autocross. Always exciting to see a lot full of Minis ready to play.

You can't compete with art because everyone see art differently.

Maybe could ya keep it to the Lounge...or an off topic Forum, if there is one. Just anywhere except the mainstream.
No harm meant here...was just blind sided a bit...if you know what i mean.
Like, I was expecting more MOTD pix, clicked on the topic, and............ NOT!
Thanks,

So I'll just have to post some myself even if some random dark silver kar seems to always get in the way of my photos!
