The long exposure shots were some of the more difficult shots because of the poor lighting in the area; more portable lights are on the checklist for the next session

I agree - GTA4 did a very nice rendition of NYC, but I also feel like its too straight-forward in trying to be nitty gritty or dirty, if that makes sense. The city invokes many sentiments; it can be amazing and beautiful with its myriad of bars, lights and spectacles, which leave you wanting more, until you step in a pile of trash or someone's vomit from last night haha.

Once he gets his, I want to do a photoshoot. His E92 m3, 135i, 335i coupe and my 370Z (maybe we can add your car to the mix).

BTW, your screen name reminds me of this video
My friend really enjoyed shooting the car, so I'm sure he wouldn't mind shooting other cars (especially the M3 - sex).
Do you have any locations in mind? One of the primary goals of this shoot was to avoid just throwing the car in a location and then taking pictures, which is pretty standard fare. The car(s) should interact with the environment in a way that makes the viewer see or think about things (whatever they may be) in a different light; our cars are interesting enough by themselves, the problem is finding an environment that matches it

Thanks Jeff! The plate is a New York State specialty plate - War on Terror Veteran. Hopefully I can keep it forever as the newer NY plates are hideous (though I might need a replacement because the front one is slightly bent as I park on the streets - I think its noticeable in some pictures).
