Default Re: Dennis Gage was in town at the BMW Euro Fest



All joking aside, having forgotten and missed the 4 previous events, I am happy to have made it at all.

Thank you, I first studied photography 25 years ago and have enough college art/graphic design classes to more than minor in it. I owe it to great professional artists/instructors and supportive parents willing to shell out the money for art/photo supplies for 20+ years.

I find reflections in chrome, glass, and flowing body lines fascinating. Typically I take hundreds of fine details shots looking for something to draw or paint, only to realize days later I have few overall shots of the vehicles.

This is an older drawing of my reflection in a 1938 Jaguar Saloon Fender.
