Too much weekend in my weekend, I just didn't have time for everything I wanted to get done. So I hope this very special model from DM will it be able cover both days. Thanks for looking.

Just a little background on these photos. Several years ago, I mentioned a crazy idea I had about a photo set. I was up on the roof at the old house making some repairs to loose shingles we had suffered from a previous storm. After I was finished, I noticed the fantastic look of the sky with all the clouds. I knew I would never be able to duplicate that look from the ground, so I climbed the ladder and using the little ramp I had quickly built to make the roof repairs, I set up an easy and quick photo set that included just a couple of models (I wanted to do more, but the feeling of being unsafe got to be too much-so I quit early)

These are some photos I just finally finished up last week.

Talk about "Risky Business". LOL I've done a few "derring do" photo setups myself and at least one did not end well.

Fantastic pics.  I'm glad to say that I have this rare and marvelously merry Rocket Oldsmobile model.
