photos of you driving Mulholland
While driving my favorite section of west Mulholland Hwy (between the Rock Store and Kanan Rd.), I came across a guy taking flash photos below the overlook. There was a sign proclaiming "rockstorephotos.com". Sure enough today on the website there was a photo of my car in thumbnail form. They are for sale. I think I'll check it out.
I thought some of you might want to know. Google 'em. Let me add ,in case this sounds like an add, I have no idea who this is. I just thought it was cool for us guys who love our cars. Don

He's been around for a while. We never see him though. Flieger seems to have a subscription with him.

Guy has a good idea for making a little $
Wonder if locals might be taking photos to show to law enforcement, though (or use this guy's site to ID cars)

He got the idea from the guys on the DRAGON, who have made a huge business out of it.

It's a neat idea and there are plenty of great photo-op spots on Mulholland, but any photographer has to be very careful about selling (for profit) photos showing recognizable likenesses of people without having obtained a model release from them. The odds of getting sued or whatnot are slim, but I wouldn't take the chance, personally.

Considering the fact that he's mainly taking pics of motorcycles (and that we have a helmet law in CA), it's unlikely anyone's going to sue him. I know he's taken a couple pics of me, but I've never taken the time to go look up his site.

I was on a business trip last year out at China Lake, CA [could tell ya - but have to kill ya]... stopped by a high school buddy [high school - VA military school] and he is a Very successful lawyer in LA.. has a Audi R8.... we do some driving on the twisties [me at the wheel - he keeps saying more/faster]...
I drove Tapangia Canyon and Mulholland in my rental car at a sedate speed in the end on my way back to the east coast.... nice road... would like a do-over in my 80 SC
