Whatever comes to mind. I'm just curious about the overall imagery.

One day I really should take a photography class of some sort so I can understand all those little subtleties of taking photos. (Something that The Don is good at.)

I like it, but how about a more revealing dress. Were you dropping her off at a Renaissance festival? Wait... maybe some kind of ComiCon thing?

*edit: I like the second photo the best.

LOL yeah ComicCon type event.

I was looking for the girl with the classiest and LEAST revealing dress (Oddly enough I had known her from the previous year so it all worked out nicely)

2nd Photo- I had to explain to her the concept of Chauffeurs offering their arms as 'handles' to aid woman in getting out of cars....she was a bit surprised by the idea because she had never heard of it.

My chauffeur is my room mate who has adamantly been refusing to drink the free alcohols I offer him.

More for me I suppose. Kinda funny when I get out of the car and he parks it for me.

The back of a W123 (Your perfect example of one imparticular) Is fun but once you go W126 you never look back (Until you get to a W140 S600 of course)

A gentleman and a schoolbus.

No wait, I mean, looks pretty nifty. I liked the first photo best. The chauffeur looking at the camera look out of character. The chauffeur does not grab the spotlight. He demures (defers?) to the client.

Exactly. Its hard though trying to coordinate the shoot from inside the shoot. Imagine the director of a film trying direct a film while playing the lead roll at the same time......

The next time I do this I want to plan it out with a true photographer. Evening scene, possibly take a few in black and white. etc etc

I intend to "upgrade" to a w124 Maybe a 126 in the far future.

Nice...but don't you dare sell that 300D. Its unlikely that you'll ever find one thats in better shape.

My inability to get cute girls phone numbers is the absolute definition of fail


Besides she lives in the Boston area.
