Hi Ken, You're welcome. The Times photo editor didn't pick from among the snaps I shot, he just asked me to go shoot three cars, two of which I wrote up for the blog: the Wikispeed car, the Venturi America, and the Mach 7. They are in the photo.net gallery as well. Those were all small manufacturers that didn't provide adequate pics, so we were stuck when our shooter disappeared for a while.
We covered the Porsche 918. One of the other guys handled the press conference -- thankfully -- it was at 6:30 AM. I was in Cobo by then but still trying to wake up:-). The 918 is here: http://wheels.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/01/10/porsche-918-rsr-have-flywheel-will-race/ On Jan 12, 2011, at 2:49 PM, Ken Waller wrote: > Thanks for sharing Paul. > > You didn't get a photo of the Porsche Hybrid coupe did you? > Its supposed to be headed for LeMans in the near future. > > Which 3 were chosen by the Times, if you can? > > Kenneth Waller > http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/kennethwaller > > ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul Stenquist" <[email protected]> > Subject: GESO - a few auto show pics > > >> Worked the North American International Auto Show for the Times -- 13 hours >> Monday and 10 hours Tuesday.
