Location: Rego Park, NY, | When the idea of a calendar was started last year I was certain that my photo of the entire group was going to make the calendar somewhere. When I received the calendar in the mail I quickly flipped through it and found my group photo in August :cool: . It wasn't until later on in the evening that I had a chance to take a closer look. Laser vibrometer picture okay alot us us took pictures of that. Guitars waiting for the next step on the assembly line. Caricature of Miles and Al. More guitars waiting for assembly. Custom legend necks. Adamas' on the stand.
Then I began to look at the pictures even closer. I also took out my photos from the tour. Slowly I began to examine the pictures even closer. Hey I also took the adamas set up on the stand for the laser vibrometer :cool: . Next the guitars on the shelves, I took that one also :cool: . the pictures of the guitars without necks, mine also :cool: . The legend necks, mine :cool: . The last picture of the Adamas' with empty tag holders hmmm? Could it be? I wasn't sure so I took out a magnifying loop that I use to examine negative and photos. I was certain that the last picture was mine also. The reason is that the empty hang tag has a four point star due to the reflection of the flash.
So the entire month of August has my pictures except of course for the caricature. I guess if Designzilla can remember and verify what he did for this month.
Before I finish this, I'm not sure who took the picture that is with days of the month though.

Location: Rego Park, NY, | This is the third time that I have had my work published/displayed for public viewing. The first time was when I photographed a local beauty pageant "Miss Puglia 199?" I helped a friend who contracted the job. The pictures were published in an italian magazine that is distributed in Italy. Even though my friend got the credit, I know which pictures are mine. The second time I photographed my cousin because she was going to receive a top seller award from Met Life. We spent 4 hours taking pictures and my photo became part a slide show presentation. The photo flashed up on the screen for 3 seconds.
I guess this must be the next step to photographing the Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition. |

Also...I found a much better location to send a guitar over the falls for the next time. |

I understand that repairs on the tower are going quite well. |
