BABY Pictures

Well, not quite BABY pictures. Maybe baby pictures with a small “b”.
This Christmas, I was searching for a present for my sister and her husband. They have a new baby boy, which makes me an Uncle as well as Godfather. In my search for a present, I came up with the idea of a professional photo shoot for their family. I did some searching and found a professional photographer in Whippany, New Jersey with some promise. Now this guy was not some ordinary mall storefront type. His name is Michael Wolfe and he goes by the name “Wolfy”. He got his big break photographing New York models. Well, one thing led to another and he set up shop in Whippany to service many different client needs. In comes KPV!! And what a need I had!!!
I looked through his portfolio and saw some photos of a Model T Ford, a Ferrari and others of motorcycles and decided I had to try him out. Thanks Fred! This is all your fault!!!

Call to Sean……
“Sean, I found this photographer with a studio built in a warehouse in an industrial park and I wanted to know, (pause)”
And before I could finish.
“Ok Ken, I am in!” said Sean

That is just like Sean, always up for anything and very reliable. I really like that about him.

So we make an appointment and show up Tuesday morning for what will turn out to be a full day of photo shooting.

I had my new Sony digital on hand to get some of my own shots but learned VERY QUICKLY that I couldn’t take pictures with a flash. Every time I took a photo, the studio flashes would fire. OOPS!! Sorry ‘bout that Wolfe.

I had to resolve myself to taking shots without a flash. Now anybody that knows anything at all about photography knows that if you require slower than a 1/60 second shutter speed to get a proper exposure your chances for a clear shot decreases dramatically. Well, I was shooting with a 2 sec shutter speed at times and I must say, I did pretty damn good holding that camera steady WITHOUT A TRIPOD. I typically braced myself against something immoveable to lessen my chances of a blurred image. So, please keep the above in mind when viewing the following:



















The proofs should be ready in about 7 to 10 days and we will decide on the chosen few at that time.

If you are interested in contacting him for your own needs, his info is below:

DO you have them posted anywhere in hi-res original size? Those would make excellent wallpapers!

Looking good Ken!!
I am gonna send you the bill for that hood...I am in love with it!!!
I really think you should try and do silver mesh behind that GT2 nose....Also, there has to b a way to conceal those antennas!!
A pair of silvervisions would be a nice finishing touch....

Ken Excellent pics and I am sure that even those fine pictures do not do your car Justice. Both cars look awesome side by side. Maybe we should do some Black and White ....

Ken,
Great pics. Did you photoshop the nose and wheels in the last few pics or is that a 2nd set?
