Set is made by the artist Joe Ledbetter.
This is their vacation to Downtown St. Petersburg, FL.
It started off as a great day but Florida skys decided they wanted it different.
They started their visit off at a art sculpture called “The Wave”
“Hi Friday would you like to see St. Pete?”
Next was off to see Christopher Columbus, he never landed in St. Pete…but statue is here.
Stop at the “St Pete Green benches” infront of the St. Pete History Museum!
We went to other places like the Pier Aquarium, but there was to many people to take pictures…but we do have other places we will be visiting very soon!!
This was the main thing stopping us..Storm moving in to Downtown.
These are the first set of shots of many from the weekend of the Honda Grand Prix of St. Petersburg 2010.
I plan on having a release each night, due to I have Festivals of Speed coming up in 2 weeks!
Friday was great. Started off nice and cloudy with no rain, and turned to a high of about 75. Track conditions were ok, for being the first day for the Indy, Indy Lights, Star Mazda, USF2000, and World Challenge.
Here are the shots of the Indy, Indy Lights, & Star Mazda.
Indy Lights and Star Mazda cars
Final set of the Festivals of Speed Orlando 2009. I have had these done for awhile, just haven’t had a chance to post them. So here we go!
One thing I really don’t like doing. Post processing…but did it with a few.
By far one of my favorite shots from the event.
Thank you for viewing
So here they are Set 1 of 3 shots of the Festivals of Speed Orlando at the Ritz Carlton. Thank you once again to the FOS staff for inviting me out to this great event.
One Bad ass bike! Just look at the front fork!
And that GT-40 is the LAST production model.
Joe from Festivals of Speed asked me to take some shots of this Ferrari
Last of its REAL kind.

February 26, 2009 I took a trip of a lifetime. My camera came along for the ride, snow, plane, and fun. These photos are the Hardest photos I have ever worked on, due to this was the final trip with Alaina. We both enjoyed the time there, and I was glad to have her come with me. Thank you.
Now on with the shots and story. (BTW this will be a 4 part blog. 1st one is Day 1 and beginning of Day 2(First set of events) / 2nd will be rest of day 2 3rd will be all of day 3(2nd set of events) & 4th will be final set, and Panorama shots with video to finish it up).
Feb 26th 2009 Up early to catch a flight from tampa, FL (which it was 75deg) to St. Paul, then off to Bozeman, MT.
Here are the shots over Montana/and various other Midwest States.
This is the airport when we landed. First thing I do is start shooting – We were the last airplane to land that day.
All the Red Bags!
The bear that was at the bottom of the steps.
Myself
Alaina
Then being the Floridian I am, I walked outside to put my foot in snow for the first time ever..yes its cold and wet.
Next we were loaded up on to 2 buses and takin to the ranch.
And then once we arrived to the ranch got checked in and suited up with warmer clothes, headed outside to take more pictures.
I think myself was one of the crazy ones to run out with my camera(DSLR Canon) and started snapping.
Alaina and Ice
num num Snow
My first snow angel
After about a hour or so it cleared. – This is looking towards the back or south part of the ranch
Alaina and seeing snow again.
And what do you do…Plop and make a Snow Angel
The main building.
“Ranch Party” Sign with snow…yes I knocked the snow off of it..never done it before..hahaha

Alaina once again. With part of the Livery behind her
Looking towards the front part of the ranch
Then had a Great dinner, and drinks.
Day 2 we were suppose to be up at 8am to eat then at 9 go snowshoeing…well that didnt happen, so we did the next thing…TUBING and then Dog sleding.
Early morning pics.
This is “Spike”
Baby bear inside our lodge

It became such a GREAT Day!!
Since my big thing is Automotive photography..here is a SUV in the snow…dont worry I have more of the SUV’s on the ranch.

I had a chance this past weekend to visit epcot with my gf becky. She told me the crew from the Northwestern was going to be there, but she would only beable to walk around with me till 2pm, and that I would be alone to walk around..so I decied I am alone, I am gonna shoot.

My FAVORITE RIDE THERE!
TEST TRACK!
Hardest panning I have ever tried..1 You cant see the car & 2) The mirrors are slatted.
The one ride I refuse to ride – MISSION: Space – But the building and surroundings has some nice things to shoot.

I have a pretty nice collection of plain, signed, and custom vinyls. So I thought I would share with everyone my collection. Yes 2 parts due to they will both be text and picture heavy. I will list where they can be found(if still adv), shops, who produced it, and last Who gave them to me if were givin to me..
VW Bug Bumble Bee
Produced by Mighty Muggs – Can be found at Target, or local comic shop
From what I hear BB is a hard one to find due to its not the “new” one but the original VW Bug
Katie AKA Bubby gave it to me. 
Robot Variant
Really Unknown what the character is but it was a cool looking robot, and come to find out its the Rare one out of the box (ie 1/55)
Produced by Kotobukiya (KotoUS.com)
Purchased: Anime Fix St. Petersburg, FL
6in Labbit
Nothing like a Labbit and a CIGAR!
Now this Labbit will be a RARE one due to it will be getting signed this weekend by the crew of the Northwestern (Deadliest Catch on Discovery) – They will be in Orlando this weekend, and Becky was great enough to let me know. So he will be UBER Rare due to will be signed by them. I have one other one that is signed by fellow drifters down in SFL when i was there for NOPI Drift in 2007.

FLCL!!
This is a rare FLCL robot, I was in search of this robot for a while, and come to find out a local shop had it just sittin in the back collecting dust. Was at work for a while, but I like to rotate what I have there, and with the rarety of this vinyl I no longer left it at work.
Produced by – Kaching Brands
Purchased at Anime Fix – St. Petersburg, FL
Spooky
Spooky was purchased at the FX Show 2008 to have Ellen Muth sign, & even doodle. She looked at it like you really want me to? But I like things that can be displayed, can’t really stand posters, or pictures that are signed..I like things to have Character. She added the eyelashes.
Produced by Slave labor (Slavelabor.com)

George Lowe always puts "snak tips" - Bacon Panties

Thanks George Lowe for signing and adding your own character to this! Once again I handed this to the person and said “Do what you want to it, doodle, color, sign, what ever your heart would like”. And well he came up with a very strange mickey creature. Made everyone laugh! Thanks again!!

This is a DIY Dunny produced by Alaina Bible. She is a really good friend of mine whom I had a relationship with and this was givin to me. I purchased this for her on our way back from the FL Keys from a SFL shop. Once she had it in her hands the pencil was already doodling on it. She went thru about 3 different designs, and finally came up with this one. And it came out GREAT. She is a very skilled artist at this. And I am very honored to have this piece in my collection. Thank you again alaina.
Produced by – Kidrobot/ Designed by Alaina Bible
Purchased from – Pinkghost in South Florida (Pinkghost.com)
