Apologies to third-wave Ska/Punk band Streetlight Manifesto for the title paraphrasal, but it seemed appropriate. I was driving around with a long-time friend of mine in North Raleigh when we came across what has to be the best night-time photoshoot location anywhere.  I can’t say exactly what it is, except that it’s a service bay at a local Audi dealer.  Oh, crap – I gave it away.  The lighting here was too cool to pass up, so we arranged the cars and did a little miniature photo shoot.  My friend’s snazzy suit is entirely unrelated – he was headed back into Raleigh after a party, but it really seemed to fit the feel of the shot.  These images were shot with my Sony point-and-shoot as usual, but comments and critiques on the photography are always welcome.

“The name’s Bond…  James Bond.” I thought he drove an Aston Martin?

Yours truly – I’ll admit to not being anything of a snazzy dresser.  I’m ok with this.

Yes, these photos are obviously posed.

The way this photo focused is just too cool.  Wave to the camera, dude!

Let’s get all these ugly people out of the way and let the cars speak for themselves.  The TT Quattro is quite a quick car, by the way – and nice looking to boot.  When it’s not covered in dirt up to the hatch.  Which it always is.  It’s the small things in life you’ve got to stop and enjoy when you see them!
