Night of the Black & White Ball

A recurring theme in the photos I’ve been sharing over the past year has been the eagerness that is shown by car owners to have their pix shot with their ride.  Normally these people are often at car shows or in drive-ways and sometimes even at the beach.  Sadly images shot with those nice folks in-um are not particularly useable here at VivaChas!.  We shoot such “snapshots” as a courtesy while there getting what we in the industry might term – Money-Shots. ~:0) Money-Shots are obviously fotos that can be used in one of the VivaChas! photo creations – and then sold.  Why aren’t the cadids with car owners worthy of inclusion?  Not b/c the owners are often in shorts, T-shirt and Flip-Flops – NO!  Not b/c they’re old, fat and ugly – No Way!!  It’s because that’s their pix – that’s their remembrance of their Hot-Rod, Rat Rod or Custom.  The franchise here is what I want in the photograph!  I’m the shooter – The Photog – The Pro-Jock! This Photo is an exception.  The sweet owner of this beautiful Chevrolet SSR wanted a remembrance of her Night of the Black and White Ball.  Many cities have such formal events.  These Black and White Balls are warm- weather soirees at which nice sheilas in white formal dresses and gents in tuxedos gather to dance to romantic ballads and sip champagne – that must be really nice – sort of gives me chills. This pix is dedicated to lovely ladies and lovely rides like the Chevy Truck herein. This photo is for sale with all’s permission – the fun part being that “Angel” the Pick-up’s owner stipulated that it be of she and her truck – with out her date for the evening!  - Ha!  I love making pictures! ~:0) VivaChas!
