I already replied once and deleted it....reluctant to spew my own feelings.....BUT I think I will just say what I have on my mind for the 10th anniversary.

I only started taking photos in July 2007, I am still learning and have goals set for myself to be even better so I can represent MCM to the fullest. This magazine has been my favorite since I saw it on the shelf in 1999ish...can't remember exactly. At the time I think it was pretty fresh (obviously) I never saw another issue until I met Darryl Gassaway and he is the one that got me back on track with it. It was also Darryl that introduced me to Gregg and got me set up to do my first coverage.

I guess I have done 10-15 by now and each time it's a lot of fun and an honor!

Here is my favorite issue. I took the cover photos and have 18 pages inside. Unofortunaely Steve Cote was killed in a car accident and he didn't get to see his model on the cover or the center fold. I have been very fortunate to meet people I may not have met....because of the opportunity I embraced with MCM. Thank you Gregg and Darryl!

and this is probably the most inspiring issue because of the cover.....Gregg I read that this is the most requested cover to make a poster......I AGREE!! I also want a calendar still!

Hey Bob, is that my old 58 Ford you got from me? I'm glad she's in a good home.

Bob, that is just too cool! :lol:

Provided your original photo is digital, full resolution and in color... I think you should submit it to Gregg for a cover. Really!

Gregg... you going to let me do another one of those someday?

Dave, yep that's the one! I have it tucked away for now hehe!

Jairus, that would be cool! I took them in Sepia and have one in black and white. There are several more angles and such too.
