Had to share this with the dslrusers community as it's too good to be true - I'm still pinching myself about it :)

Received a call from a friend asking if I'd be interested in a photo gig. In a nutshell, it's a photo gig for Hankook Tyres who need pics of Jim Richards' Porsche GT3 Carrera race car!!!! WHEEEEEEE!!!!! On location shots at their workshop as well, so just plain old studio shots :D

Can someone come and punch me so that I know I'm still alive :)

Consider yourself well and truly punched Wayne!

Congratulations. I know you'll prove yourself worthy of the offer.

Thanks guys :)

Sorry Wendell, no female model...but the driver who I'm guessing will be Jim Richards will be there. Hoping the D70 will live up to the project :D

Johndec - I've had offers by a mate to let him be my apprentice so he can tag along.... :twisted:

I'll post up the pics when I'm done.

Well done Piro, Jim Richards (or someone there) will be able to put you in contact with V8 supercar teams who need team images for the upcoming season. As the official photographer for a major tyre company and a Porsche Cup race team, you can sell yourself pretty well!!!

Look forward to seeing the images, we all know you'll do well! :D
