Well I sold a picture to be used in a national print ad.

I kind of forgot about posting this, been kind of busy. LOL I've sold a few prints to racers, and some portraits. But I got a call back in Feb from Brodix Cylinder heads about using a photo of mine that had been sent to them by a friend of mine that is a local racer. They wanted to do an ad featuring his car but needed to release from me and how much and where to send the check. Pretty cool not a huge full page shot of the pic or anything but hey I'm in print now. LOL even cooler to me that it was a high performance company that used it. It is running in one of the current issues of The NHRA's National Dragster.

Good job man! Lets see this picture. If you know what magazine and month it is let us know.

It was the March 11th edition of the National Dragster, got to be a NHRA Member pretty much to get it. Supposed to have one coming. I have the ad but its at home I'll upload it when I get there and post it. Here is the photo they used.

Congrats!!

The ad. Not like its huge but very cool to me.

Congrats codeman =D>

To an artist, any artist, any sort of publication is enormous. Take it for what it is.....HUGE!! Again, congrats. That is a great pic of that car getting on the gas and pulling the front wheel. Just great man!

Congrats! =D> . Hope they paid you well, because it's a really good shot!

Well I probably could have milked it for more money, but I was paid well enough for something I had a blast doing. :mrgreen:

Yea thats a cool thing there 8)

:shock: Is that a Chevy Baretta :shock:

The oppenent must have been a bit down the track :LOL2:

Well done and congratulations.. Nothing better than being "published".

A local free paper in Illinois picked up a couple of my photos and published them, with accreditation. No $$$, but that wasn't why I sent them in. Felt proud for a week, especially after a neighbor saw them and called me to say so....

Keep up the good work. Rich

Yes it is, a quite fast one at that. 4.82@145 in the 1/8th mile. Running a 434 inch Small Block Chevy with plenty of Nitrous. :wink:

They even have your name in print there for credit - Sweet!

:beer:

That car has teeth! :shock:

Congrats James.....I do remember what it's like to have your work published for the first time. It is a great feeling. Awesome shot!

Very cool codeman! The only time in my adult life what I had no time for fishing is the years that I spent throwing every dollar I had into a drag car. A very expensive hobby that makes fishing seem cheap
