The Chevy Asylum: Car Shows & Cruise Nites 2006 
Click the icon for more photos from each event.
2006 had some drastic ups and downs. My health stabilized after several bouts with hospitalization and oxygen bottles and all that stuff.
I lost my wife during 06 and I immersed myself in automotive events of all sorts as a means of getting over the loss.
The first half of the year, I used the now-completely ancient Sony point & shoot camera.
But several factors led me to move into the realm of Digital SLR cameras (DSLR.)
A big part of it was trying to shoot race cars at speed, whether on the track or on the salt flats.
I tried going back to my 40 year-old 35mm film camera, but that didn't work out.
I ended up with a Canon Rebel XT and the results were amazing.
It took me a while to get used to it, but I found myself shooting many more photos
and getting more detail shots rather than just front 3/4 views of the cars.
That happened in September and the whole photography thing has been expanding ever since then.
