Your aunt should tell her story with Motley Crue

My aunt? Don't you mean my stepmom? My mom (I call her mom) and (i think) my tias and abuelita met them, not my aunt. /nm The next time I see my mom, I'll ask her what it was like. Don't count on it. Mom has a hard time remembering things. It's not her fault though. It was so long ago anyway. She was 9 or 10 at the time. I don't get to see her much. If she can't recall, she can always ask her sisters. Then I'll share it here if I do get something ^^ If not, there's always other stories how she met Slash and Gene Simmons.

Also, I've been looking for images of her and the band. I know the photos might not exist. I doubt anyone in my family or staff took photos. I can still hope. I never seen a pic of my mom as a kid or her sisters and mom. I do know if I see a photo of her and them, I'd know it's her. Mom said abuelita was a "badass german woman with tattoos on her arms". I'm sure it was the dr. feelgood tour or whatever in the late 80s or early 90s before Vince left. It had to take place in Texas. Idk where but my best guess is Austin. I could be wrong though. If anyone might find any kind of photo like that with the said origin, PLEASE let me know! That's my familia and recovering that media will be a blessing. It would make mom really happy, too ♥

As for my aunt, she never met them. Only listened to them. I heard she had posters in her room and her mom would rip them off the walls. She'd put them back up. Damn Christians am I right? She never saw them live. That's all I know.

I was determined to get at least one decent photograph of this car on film. But how do you do that on a Saturday in the busiest building of one of the most visited and talked about cars at the 2023 GNRS? This was my challenge. . Standing out while surrounded by some of the highest dollar builds by the top builders in the world is a feat of its own and a task well accepted by owner Cobe Gewertz and Bill Ganahl of South City Rod and Custom. Rarely do you see so many grown men throw hilarious tantrums over the fact that this car wasn’t as they would have built it. The offence taken by so many was much need levity to me as I could only chuckle at the strong emotions expressed on both sides of the table. To me, true art should stir emotions and generates conversation, so I guess that this most definitely fits that definition. Personally, I love it. . Now, how to get a photograph that tells the story of an event, people and the Grand National Roadster Show. I like people in my photographs as it gives the photograph a context as well as visual interest to viewers 20, 50, 100 years from now. My only answer to capture what I hoped to was a long exposure and patience. I found the angle and perspective I wanted which ended up being at an angle on the floor in the next booth over. This middle-aged dude laid on the floor for almost an hour getting both concerned and funny looks as I waited for just the right amount of people in the shot to show activity but still being able to see the entire car. As the exposures were 13-15 seconds each it was a guessing game. So with my trusty Hasselblad and Kodak Portra 400 color film (of course this had to be in color) I took my chances.
