This truck is over the top cool, so why not blow out all the stops and give it the rendering that it deserves? That was going to be the key for this shoot, and I knew that I was going to do everything that I could to accentuate the drama and moodiness in the sky. I embraced this as ambiance, and continued looking to the sky. I knew that we were going to be a salvage yard so there was going to be wrecked cars around, and probably a fair share of clutter. That really helped me so much when it came to knowing how I wanted to capture this truck. I knew the attitude, I knew the details, and I had seen a lot of the details added on by Dean over the past year. At least I was familiar with the truck, and have shot it on a couple of other occasions. Days like this will be when business is really good! I spent a good portion of the trip home getting my mind set for shooting Stitch. Hey, I guess it is good practice for when I am doing this full time. Well, that was settled, I was going on a shoot right after getting home from the mountains. I went ahead and made contact with Dean, hoping that he would say that today was not a good day, but as I knew he would, he was happy to meet with me to get it done early in the afternoon.

I checked the weather and it was still looking less than favorable for the coming days, so I started to talk to Toni about how to proceed. I know, that is not very professional of me, but that is the way my creative energy worked. I still had two days worth of photos to process and get finalized. The second issue was I was not really in the mood to do any more shooting just yet. The first issue was that there was no guarantee that the clouds would be the same in Yadkin County, and whether or not they would even hang around that long. There were two issues with that plan though. I promised myself I would revisit it on the way back home.Īs we were coming down the mountain, I was looking at the sky and thinking how wonderful it would be for the Stitch shoot and how I wished that I could go ahead and get it done when I got home. However, I was on my anniversary weekend and had to put that out of my mind for a few days. It was too early to tell about the following weekend, but when I’m given an assignment I don’t like lingering and waiting. ![]() That was meaning that Tuesday and Wednesday were more than likely going to be a wash. This is a Grimm Reaper vehicle and deserves a moody sky. ![]() You see, this truck has an attitude that really doesn’t belong with a sunny day. It was going to be much too sunny for me to get the images that I was looking for on this rat rod. ![]() I knew that I would be off from work for the two days following my anniversary trip and would have no problem shooting Stitch during those days with the exception of the weather. He had been wanting to get out to a salvage yard near his shop to do the photos and it was looking like he had the ok from the owner to make it happen. He has talked to me off and on about one day selling Stitch and he was wanting pictures done of it with the new door art which was completed around the middle of last year. I ended up meeting Dean that day and we have been in touch since. I love the fact that when he’s looking for a camera holder he thinks of me! It all started about a year ago when I was out driving around and happened by his shop and an old White fire truck caught my eyes. He was looking to do a photo shoot with one of his personal project trucks called Old Stitch.
