Event Coverage: BBBS Car Show in Salina, KS

As far as I know this was a first time event. Over 100 rides showed up to this free car show held in the South parking lot of Salina's Central Mall next to JC Pennys. The Big Brothers Big Sisters of Salina put the show on and with the exception of needing a bit more room for the photos to look good, but that's me being picky :).

Flame Jobs From 2006-2009
These are some the flames I've captured at car shows, this first post is 2006-2009, starting with the very first show of the Royboy Galleries all the way to the end of 2009.

This weekend is Viva!

First off, I'm not going :( booooooooooo! I did attend in 2010 and overall I liked the show. For those that don't know the show, it's Viva Las Vegas. Held every year on Easter weekend in Vegas at the Orleans Casino.  I'm guessing it's too late for you to go but I'm sure that there will be plenty of coverage floating around by Monday, I'll get some of my favorites and share them with you. When I went the crowd was intense both in numbers and in the literal meaning. Sooooo many people who were more into the rockabilly than the car show, but hey that's kool as long as you respect the cars and the people who build/own them. The plan this year was for a massive caravan from Wichita to Vegas for Viva then to Austin for the Roundup and back... now it looks like I'm rolling to Texas solo where I will meet up with some friends and finish the trip to Austin.

Let's look back at when I was at Viva, 2010.








Love it.

Auto Art Edits

From time to time I find myself with some extra...time... kinda wrote myself into a loop there. Anyways with that extra time I usually fire up the editing software to make some adjustments to a photo or two. Sometimes the goal is to make an image more of an art project, sometimes the goal is just to clean it up.

This Merc looked great but there were a few distractions. Here's the edited version


And here is the Original


This shot of The Toad from the Starliner show in Wichita, KS just felt like it needed a vintage vibe to it.
