This picture says so much and means a great deal to me, the hands of Mr Walter Breuning. As I sat and talked with Walter I could not help but to notice his hands in his lap. Not the best shot but the only one I got. I have so much to say about this shot, but I am in between jobs. Have to go....will ad more tommorrow.

James Boswell, 9th Laird of Auchinleck (29 October 1740 – 19 May 1795) was a lawyer, diarist, and author born in Edinburgh, Scotland. He is best known for the biography he wrote of one of his contemporaries, the English literary figure Samuel Johnson, which the modern Johnsonian critic Harold Bloom has claimed is the greatest biography written in the English language.
Boswell's surname has passed into the English language as a term (Boswell, Boswellian, Boswellism) for a constant companion and observer, especially one who records those observations in print. In A Scandal in Bohemia, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's character Sherlock Holmes affectionately says of Dr. Watson, who narrates the tales, "I am lost without my Boswell.

The charm of this car is that it's NOT perfect. It actually looks like it was DRIVEN -- to the beach, along the coast, to work, to school, maybe even to the grocery store. No Botox rotisserie restoration on this old girl. It's 62 years old, and although it's well dressed, it looks it.
The bumper sticker, "I DROVE this car to the TRAILER show", says it all.
Washingtonians marveled at the creatively decorated cars, bikes and Polaris Slingshots designed by renowned illustrators at the ART-of-Motion exhibit, an avante-garde art exposition produced by urban lifestyle pioneer, Automotive Rhythms. The Washington Auto Show offered extended hours to welcome showgoers back to D.C.'s largest show, where an exhibit of some 700 vehicles spanned 750,000 square feet of the Walter E. Washington Convention Center.
Mooresville, NC - If there was ever a time to put down some dominate numbers and come away with a couple of segment victories, this was the weekend. It was the Optima "Search for the Ultimate Street Car's" first double points event of the season and it worked out very well for Kyle Tucker and his Detroit Speed 1970 Camaro Test Car at Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn, MI. See all the pics here goo.gl/s8eWXN
As usual, the Detroit Speed sponsored Autocross and the Wilwood Speed Stop Challenge were the first segments Saturday morning and provided lots of action whether you were participating or if you were just hanging out in the pits amongst the crowd.
Kyle and the Detroit Speed 1970 Camaro were on point from the get go, laying down times hovering in the mid to high :13's until he put down his best time on his second to last run (:13.60) which was enough to claim the top spot and 50 points for the segment victory. Not to rest on his laurels, Kyle was also pushing hard on the autocross and ended up with 2nd place and another 44 points to add to his weekend collection. Detroit Speed dealer and good friend, Billy Utley took the top spot in the autocross driving his DSE "Equipped" 1972 Chevy Nova.
The road rally took place at the end of the day and took off from the speedway and ended at the Lingenfelter Design Collection in Brighton, MI. Thanks for their hospitality, great food, and beautiful cars to look at. It was, also, 5 minutes from Kyle and Stacy's house where Detroit Speed got its start. It was pretty neat to head back and see where it all started.
Sunday was more of the same from Kyle and the DSE 1970 Camaro Test Car. The Hot Lap Challenge gave the drivers a chance to really open up their cars with a 1.9 mile inside road course at Michigan. Kyle's first run of the day would have been good enough to capture first place and the full 50 points but he ended up besting that and put down a blistering 1:23.076 a few sessions later that no one was able to come close to.
Congratulations are in order for Mr. Billy Utley. Billy topped the GTV Class and was awarded his invitation to the season ending event in Las Vegas for the 2nd year in a row! Congrats Billy! We would also like to congratulate Bryan Johnson on his podium finish in the GT class and our very own Project Foreman, Chris Porter, on his podium finish in the GTV class.
Rick Hoback, driving his C5 Corvette, had good runs on the road course on Sunday. Unfortunately, due to another commitment, he could only attend on Sunday. Thanks Rick for flying the DSE flag proudly! Rick wasn't the only one flying the flag, DSE “Equipped" cars were out in full force and ran hard all weekend. If you have been following the Optima events in person or on social media, one thing you will notice is all the "63" images and decals around. The decal is for Todd Rumpke, our friend who drives the Snoopy C6 Corvette. He is in a difficult battle right now, and at the end of the day, we are all a family out there and would do anything to support a friend and fellow driver.
Optima Search for the Ultimate Street Car Michigan Highlights:
• Kyle won the Speed Stop Challenge taking the maximum 50 points during this double points weekend
• Kyle claimed the top spot during the Sunday Hot Lap Challenge
• Kyle finished a close 2nd in the Detroit Speed Sponsored Autocross, finishing just behind Billy Utley.
• Dealer and close friend, Billy Utley, clinched his invite to the season ending event in Las Vegas with a 1st overall in the GTV class in his DSE "Equipped" 1972 Nova
It was another fun weekend full of friends and racing and we eagerly await the next Optima event as it is taking place in our back yard. We look forward to seeing everyone at Charlotte Motor Speedway July 25th - 26th for the next event in the Optima "Search for the Ultimate Street Car" series.

In his second novel, Ilko Minev takes his readers back to the Amazon of the 1960s, where Benjamim Melul, grandson of a once powerful rubber baron, pursues his dream of reviving the glory days of Brazil’s early 20th-century rubber boom.
He and his wife Nina move to the family’s abandoned plantation deep in the Amazon, near the border with Bolivia.
They are joined in their adventure by a young couple, Adriano and Maria, both denizens of the forest. After five disappointing years of hard toil and little profit, the two couples are preparing to return to civilization with their young families when tragedy strikes, leaving the green-eyed cabocla Maria alone and with three small children to care for.
Fighting to survive in one of the most isolated, inhospitable corners of the world, she eventually lands in the rough prospecting garimpos of the Amazon, where she first works for Dona Sandra, madam of a brothel, and then for Oleg Hazan, a Bulgarian immigrant determined to strike it rich mining for river gold.
Readers of Minev’s first book, As Flowers Go, will recognize the protagonists Licco, Oleg, and David, who transport us even deeper into the magical Amazon on this second journey.
About the author:
A typical baby-boomer, Ilko Minev was born on May 3rd 1946 in Sofia, Bulgaria. He grew up during communism in Bulgaria. Minev realized that there was no future for him in his homeland. His faith brought him to Brazil, where he met the love of his life. He became a writer at the age of 66, after he retired from his business career in 2012. Apart from the fact that he has been a resident of Manaus, Brazil for 40 years and feels like a native Brazilian, he is still very influenced by his Jewish-Bulgarian roots. His novels address some historical events, which occurred in the writer's life, but their importance has never been well known by the general public. Through his literary works Minev transcends nationalities and is a true citizen of the world. The author has so many real stories to tell, that he barely needs relevant doses of fiction.

We tend to celebrate light in our pictures. Understanding how light interacts with the camera is paramount to the work we do. The temperature, intensity and source of light can wield different photography effect on the same subject or scene; add ISO, aperture and speed, the camera, the lens type, focal length and filters…the combination is varied ad multi-layered and if you know how to use them all, you will come to appreciate that all lights are useful, even those surrounded by a lot of darkness.
We are guided by three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, our longing to capture in print, that which is beautiful, the constant search for the one picture, and constant barrage of new equipment and style of photography. These passions, like great winds, have blown us across the globe in search of the one and we do understand the one we do look for might be this picture right here for someone else out there.
“A concise poem about our work as stated elow
A place without being
a thought without thinking
creatively, two dimensions
suspended animation
possibly a perfect imitation
of what was then to see.
A frozen memory in synthetic colour
or black and white instead,
fantasy dreams in magazines
become imbedded inside my head.
Artistic views
surrealistic hues,
a photographer’s instinctive eye:
for he does as he pleases
up to that point he releases,
then develops a visual high.
- M R Abrahams

Speak out for the victims of genocidal atrocities in Gaza and the West Bank.
No words are too small, no acts too late.
Every human being gets to ask themselves "What did I do in the face of genocide?"
Israel and Zionism have been synonymous with genocide for more than three quarters of a century.

Wadi Rum also known as The Valley of the Moon is a valley cut into the sandstone and granite rock in southern Jordan 60 km (37 mi) to the east of Aqaba; it is the largest wadi in Jordan. The name Rum most likely comes from an Aramaic root meaning 'high' or 'elevated'. To reflect its proper Arabic pronunciation, archaeologists transcribe it as Wadi Ramm.
Wadi Rum has been inhabited by many human cultures since prehistoric times, with many cultures–including the Nabateans–leaving their mark in the form of rock paintings, graffiti, and temples.
In the West, Wadi Rum may be best known for its connection with British officer T. E. Lawrence, who passed through several times during the Arab Revolt of 1917–18. In the 1980s one of the rock formations in Wadi Rum was named "The Seven Pillars of Wisdom" after Lawrence's book penned in the aftermath of the war, though the 'Seven Pillars' referred to in the book have no connection with Rum.

A series of 11 shots showing the basic stages I use to produce black and white candid portraits.
All of my work is processed using "Adobe Lightroom 3".
In reality there are about 60 steps involved in producing these shots but many of the steps are minor adjustments to small areas, so I have left them out of this series.
I have not posted this series to any groups, so they will probably only be seen by the people who follow my work.
If you are interested or have any questions just add a comment and I will try and reply.
