The Mulholland/stop sign that Chris posted, was the other pic.
The article was a good read. The article doesn't compare to actually being there today. Looking at all of the receipts in Chris' kitchen is priceless. My disappointment, was really do to the time between taking the pic and when the issue actually came out - especially the last couple of weeks.

P.S. I have other pix from Aspen - no Porsche content, that I very proud of and at least one is contest worthy. |
Dave,
First let me express my apology for your images not making it into the article. I have to take an author's submission and entrust the visual part to my art director. Generally speaking, I think he makes good choices when it comes to what goes in an article. Upon seeing your pics, however, I will go back over this selection process.
That said, I can say that what looks great on a computer screen often falls flat on the printed page due to the fact that it is not back-lit. Also, dark shots have an iffy success rate, so while our art director likes moody and tries to get away with it from time to time, it is risky. The sign shot is wonderful (!), but I wonder if it was left out due to continuity? I'll speak with him and find out more.
In the future, though -- never hesitate to call or email me directly! And, again: I love the shots you've posted.
