guionM,

There is be nothing more that I would love than to be photographer for the big car companies... especially you know which one. This is a passion of mine and I love doing it. I have just started and I am sure this is my calling. I have found what I really want to do. (web design for the goverment is boring) lol

I know some people at GM (Mr SS and a guy that actually worked on programing of the Camaro, he used it as a wallpaper on his computer) have seen it but not necessarily the key people at GM photography. From my understanding GM hires a marketing firm and they are the ones that hire the photographers.

But if you know of a more direct route or if you can put in a good word that would be great. I know you are more into the industry that I am.

I have tried sending my work out to Magazines but not much luck. I really feel like I can deliver great photography but I can't find a way to make the connection to the people that need it.

Anyway, if you have some free minutes check out some of my Non-IBM Camaro SS Photos lol

And thanks for the kind words.

It's like having 2 cars. One blue that you drive at day and a black one that you drive at night.

I love the color.
Hi! I just took delivery of my IBM 2011 Camaro on Wednesday and LOVE IT! I agree that the color is unique and that's why I picked it. I do have a question for you...is your nose a different blue? I just noticed today (in the sunlight) that the nose (plastic vs metal) isn't as metallic as the hood and it's a slightly different shade of blue. Just wondered if this was normal on all IBM Camaro's or if I should say something to the dealer.

Thanks and happy driving!!!

I haven't noticed that on my 2011 yet. I'll take a look tomorrow if the skies are clear out.

Don't worry about it. Plastic and metal can look very different, even in the same light. I notice it on my GTO, but when I get close or look at it from a different angle, the color looks fine.

It is just just IBM. Cyber Gray also has the same issue, along with other colors. It also depends a lot on lighting and viewing angle.

This photo shoot is sick and the color of this navy blue in the night makes it event sicker.

That picture makes it look much darker than what I saw in person. Lighting affects this color so much.

That's what I like about this color... is like 3 shades of blue in one. Straight sun is nice blue if not directly in the sun it's a nice dark blue... but at night it might as well be black. .
