How many ways are there to say 'wow'?

Welcome! The last time I posted a link to his work it was well received, and when I saw this latest set, I had to share.

No kidding. With his photos, words are just not necessary. Here's the photographers' website (no affiliation)

Nice image out by the Narrows bridges, but that survey marker in the foreground should have been photoshopped out.

Hey everyone, I'm Jason the photographer that took these pictures. I haven't really posted that much here lately but Mongrelcat let me know that he posted my pictures here. I'll try to make it a point to share my pictures with you Rennlisters in the future too. I've got plenty to share.

My other website link is: www.flickr.com/atomic80. I haven't updated my jasontang.virtuality.org website in ages.

I drove both the 550 Spyder replica and Carrera GT that day and can say without doubt that there are no equals when it comes to these two. Both are epitomes of what a Porsche should be.

great to see both those cars not in silver, even though sliver is one of my colors of choice.

It would be interesting to see some of those frontal shots of a Spyder and 959, too (unfortunately, I don't have one for you to borrow)

I think the 550 along with the 904 and 993 are the best shapes Porsche has ever produced.

I took another picture without that survey marker and should have posted that one instead or photoshopped that out. I just never got around to it. Thanks for pointing that out.

I do have a couple of pictures of a 959 that I took not too long ago.




FYI, I did ask if I could use the 959 with the CGT/550 and was told 'no.' Oh well, it was worth a try.
