Default photo shoot - getting ready to sell.

Hey guys and gals,
I thought it was about time to get a few good shots of my big cat. I have decided that the best thing for her is to be re-homed to someone who can love her like I do, but is able to provide her with a decent dry home, and be able to pay her 'vet' bills to keep her in the best of health.
I will sadly miss her, and I am determined to give another one a home in a couple of years when I have bought my first home, with a cat house (garage), and less kids at home so hopefully pay the bills.

Here are some of the pics....

Hi Richard, it's a sad day when you have to let a loved car go. But life doe's that to you, I had to let a couple of classics out of my grasp when the kids were small and the mortgage was big.
Now the kids are big and the mortgage small I hope to keep this one for a long time.

Good luck getting another in the future.

Very true. And, most of us have had to make that choice.


And, here, a beautiful car in a beautiful setting.


Critique: Not sought, I know. The marketing pro's or illustrators would say that this setting is too busy and detracts from the subject, the car.


A flat wall with a bit of detail or a contrasting color as a back stop. And, they look really fabulous on wet blacktop. Turn the front wheels toward the camera. some say the opposite, but, it adds zest either way.


I wish you luck for now and in the future.


But, stay with us.


Carl

I'm sorry about your situation, Richard, but I understand completely.
I hope it all works out for you the way you want it to.

Richard when I had a young family back in the seventies I sold my MGA and Holden Monaro to put a deposit on a house, I know the feeling....however it turned out to be a great decision as those toys will be more affordable later when all the basics are covered.....Good Luck Mate!

A lovely looker, it must be hurting. Yep, I reckon many of us have experienced separation anxiety at one time or another. I couldn't stand it for more 5 months after re-homing my last Jag, and now I'm back in. Weak, just weak (says she who must be obeyed). I wish you stronger fortitude than I could muster. Anyhow, all the best!
