Hey everyone. I'd like to get a semi big meet/photo shoot together in Dallas. I've never planned any events, so I'd love some help. I do ameature photography, but if anyone wants to bring their camera feel free. I'd like to set it for next month, or the end of this month. Let me know if you're in, or want to help out :D
I'm down if my car ever breaks free from it's cell at Truestreet Motorsports
I'd be down once my cars is out of the paint booth. Not sure when that will be.
I'm in. Sounds like fun!
lmk
I'm down..
I'm down
This could be fun
will see about bringing the ugly fast car.
Awesome. If anyone would like to help me out a bit with the planning. I would like to do it on a week day that I have off, but I can see about a Saturday, or Sunday if necessary. I'd like to get some good shots on the top of a parking garage. or lined up on a street, but that'll be later on when I scope out the area. If anyone knows anywhere that would produce a great shot I'd love to know.
A friend of mine shot my G8 in Prosper. There are some cool old grain silo's that make a good backdrop.
Not sure why but I was unable to insert the photo. Here are couple shots though.

Those are great shots. I just talked to a guy with a MS6 in my neighborhood and he said he's in, and could hook us up with some MS3's and cool Mazas for the shoot. I would love to see a lineup of every MazdaSpeed model.
I might go with Green Glory.
If we can set it up for the weekend I'll come along. I dig the shilo shots of the G8, I think a decrepit industrial backdrop works best.
Count me in forma weekend shoot.
I'm down!
Okay everyone. I have a bit of an update. The meet will most likely be on a Sunday in September. I have some friends coming out to join in the fun. (Some muscle cars as well. Corvette, Mustang GT, Camaro.) Please feel free to invite anyone you want. This is going to be a get together of gearheads, and track rats for a photoshoot, and a good reason to shoot the shit.
looking forward to it :D
I'm down. Subscribed for updates.
Okay, so I have another little update for everyone. I'm planning on a Sunday in September for sure. I'm just waiting on my boss to pick the exact date he'd let me have off. I'd like to get together for food to discuss the areas we will be going to, and to get an initial meet, and greet going. Feel free to bring anyone who would like to join. I've also been to downtown Dallas recently, and I learned two things. #1. There are a lot of great backgrounds for the shots I'd like to take, and #2. I have no clue how to navigate this place. So, I'm going back here in a few days to look some more. I have 2 places so far I'm pretty sure we could get into without issues, but I need to find more.
I'll keep you posted. Thanks-Josh.

A thought. I helped the other Miata club some years ago do a photo shoot at the Cavanaugh Air Museum with the P51 in the background.
Maybe not what your after and it does cost the admission but worth it.
I'd lead a tour if interested.

^ I would definitely be interested in that again. I've done lots to my car since that photoshoot and i'd love to update the photos, haha.
^^The only photo I have up here at work is a stupid photochop...but you get the idea.

when is this supposed to happen?
Okay, there's gonna be a delay on all of this. The job, and financial issues are gonna be a huge deciding factor on when I'll actually be able to do this. On the other hand I wouldn't mind if someone wanted to take over. It's just over my head at the moment.
For those who haven't heard or don't know Josh (the OP), he died Friday December 2nd in a car accident...he was texting and ran a red light. I only met him once, when my car was on display at the Genghis Grill in Firewheel. He was a Miata nut and an all-around nice guy. He was only 19.
I just found out...the funeral was today.

Aw man that is such sad news......
Man, not what I expected to find at the end of this thread. Very sad news, our thoughts are with his family.
Wow.
RIP Josh...I didn't know you, but that's way too young.
Good god that's horrible...my prayers to his family.. Now we have to make this happen for Josh... So let's plan a date and get as many Miata's together as we can in his memory...
Sad and sobering.
Truly saddening. After I just bought my Miata, I went to the Garland meet at Beltline and Jupiter for the first time. He came right up to me and started asking me about my car. Very outgoing and friendly. The last time I saw him at a CObb meet he told me his mother was recently laid off and he was probably gonna have to sell his MS Miata. Still, he always seemed to remain upbeat. Most unfortunate.
Horrible news. So young and full of life.
RIP Josh.
