I broke down and bought the ride photos.

I have that feeling that you get after you buy the ride photo at Disneyland. To be fair though, I think the guy that does these basically does it as his sole-gig.

My friend Rachel is the one in the car on the last one. She looks like she’s having a great time ;)

His photos are fantastic, $75 well spent

I don’t know how much it costs, but it seems like it’s worth every penny of what ever you spent

$25 each. Not terrible, but #unemployed

I took this as “everything you spent on the car, the modifications, the track day, etc.” =)

Even when I’m not broke with stuff like this I try and reason with how many hours it took the artist to produce that

Thank you for supporting your local photographer.

I shoot photos of my local autocross events . 200-300 drivers, and I try to snag 2-3 good shots of everyone. It takes... a lot of time to go through the 1,400-1,900 photos from each event, find the keepers, punch them up a bit, and then put them online so people can actually enjoy them. I solicit donations from drivers, but don’t charge per-photo or anything like that.

I usually spend an hour and a half actually taking the photos, and then anywhere from 10 -15  hours going through the process outlined above. It’s not a lucrative gig, but I know how much I love getting really nice photos of myself driving at the track, so I do what I can do spread that feeling to the other drivers.

Heh, I thought about buying the photos.

But then I remembered emailing the guy about wanting to join the team back when I lived 40 minutes from the track, and was able to shoot track days. He never emailed me back after I talked about my technique and equipment, so....

Also I can’t find my car in any of the pictures anyway lol.

It’s in my name. It's an Exocet. It's a Miata-based kit car. Street legal. Registered as a kit, not a Miata.
