Road Knights Show


Another hot June day found me  at the Road Knights Car, Truck and Bike show June 27, 2010 with my camera. The event was held in a field and parking lot on the grounds of Maranatha Church of God in beautiful Frederick, Md. The following show board measures approximately 16 x 20 inches and includes photos of all the first place winners.  If you'd like to purchase one let me know.



Golden Gears "Home Run" Car Show



I designed a show board collage of some of the cars that were displayed
at the Frederick Keys parking lot for the Golden Gears "Home Run" Car Show.
The event was held June 19, 2010. It was a very hot day with beautiful blue sky
and gorgeous cars, trucks and bikes.



The board measures approximately 10.5 x 16.5. If you'd like to purchase one let me know. Please include the words show card in the e-mail header.  mclay217@yahoo.com

Updating website soon - film style photography

 

Okay I promise to update my website this week. I know it is a currently a total disaster. Meanwhile, Saturday I met a very nice lady who still shoots film and promised her this URL:  http://www.freestylephoto.biz/c_about.php One of the few locations that still have a great selection of film and chemistry.

Homerun car show

 

Marvin's Graphic Design had a table at the flea-market during the Home run car show at Frederick Key's Stadium parking lot last Saturday 6/19/20. The event was hosted by the Golden Gears car club. Our main goal was a coming out event for Marvin's Graphic Designs. I designed a show card for my brother in law, Bobby Eckenrode, that we displayed by our table. A lot of fine folks took business cards and looked at our samples. It was HOT, but at least it didn't rain.

This sweet special edition Ford Maverick caught my eye because my wife's first car was a light blue 1972 two door Maverick. I drove it around New England on our wedding trip. My first car was a 1975 dark blue 4 door Maverick. It cost me $4,200 brand new, the payment was less than $100 a month.

Pa. Covered Bridge 73



This is an 11x14 inch watercolor that I experimented with a paint splattering technique. The actual splattering, using my thumb and an old tooth brush, wasn't as much fun as I thought it might be. I suppose I should try it again sometime.

Distlefink


I came across these stylized birds in New Market Maryland last month. They were (are) used by the Pennsylvania Dutch to supposedly bring good fortune to those who display them. I really like the shadows cast across them in the photo. You can read more about distlefinks here if your are interested http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distelfink
