Blast From The Past

This is our 1999 VW Passat GLX. It was where my love of cars all began. This picture was taken after I had the black plastic lower body panels painted to match the rest of vehicle.

Since the time this picture was taken 10 years ago, the property shown in the background has be developed into a subdivision of houses.

420, originally uploaded by istargazer.

I took this picture almost 2 years ago shortly after I had the RCE Sport springs installed on my 2006 Subaru Impreza WRX STI. The location is a Park and Ride station and I thought it was an interesting spot. I had no idea the significance of "420" until someone posted a comment.

I had to google it to find the meaning to educate myself--LOL!

Anyway, with today being 4:20 day and seeing the massive crowd gathering in the Vancouver Art Gallery area to commemorate the occasion, I re-post this picture.

I wasn't really happy with this shot but I only took one exposure from this angle. So I did what I usually do to hide my mistakes: I photochopped the heck out of it! :LOL:

TGIF: Six Under the Overpass

I did a mini-photo shoot at a new location earlier this week with a couple of people from VIC. I wasn't sure if the spot would work out, but I'm happy with the results.

Snow, again?!

Surprise, snow!, originally uploaded by istargazer.

Well, the snow that we got this weekend is so rare it's supposed to only happen twice a century. Because of that, I'm re-posting this picture from last year. Boy, was that fun!

The other reason why I'm posting it again is because that picture has now become my very first picture ever to be published for money :biggrin:

Look for it as part of a Subaru of America ad campaign appearing on April 25 and April 30, 2008 in the USA Today.

This picture is from back in January--the day after I took the COLD STI picture :LOL:. We had a Snow Day (the first in almost 10 years) but I still had to go to work. I drove through a snow drift during my morning commute--whoo, hoo!--and didn't even realize that the front lip had broken until afterwards.
