Monsters and Cars

     About 12 years ago I bought this pack of late 60's Japanese movie cards from the DI.  Really weird creatures which are really just dudes in wacky costumes smashing scaled down model cities.  I remember when Giant Robot came on the TV, we'd look forward to it all week.  It was a real special event to a 7 year old.  I mean, the robot shot rocket fire from his fingers so he could fly.  I think these monsters embody the consequence of nuclear attacks as manifested in mutated animal forms like a giant mole or a creepy alien dude whose head looks like the grill of a Rolls Royce Phantom III.















Speaking of cars, we photographed some sweeties last weekend.  The images were to be displayed at the Lake Placid branch of the 511 Gallery, but I just got news that the gallery was closing its doors and the exhibit, tentatively titled, "American Steel" was put on hold or canceled depending on whether or not the gallery relocates.
















1970 Challenger and 2008 F350 owned by Cody Fredricks.

Glen Hansen's 1955 Bel Aire













 We photographed this http://www.simplyruggedtrailers.com/ in our Logan studio.  I took the trailer on our 3 day White Rim mountain bike ride.  The trailer worked great.  We towed it over some pretty gnarly 4wd terrain with no problems.  It also provided us with welcome shelter and extra hauling capacity.



In case you didn't see it, here's the photo I took of Cam Miller's Buick Riviera that received a runner up in their photo contest...














Thanks for reading and looking!  Please call me with any imaging needs you have.  I have lots of display prints for sale, ranging from Geneva Steel prints from the show at BYU Museum of Art, and several other gallery shows...  Please stop by and check them out in our gallery located at 656N 600W in beautiful logan utah!
