Jupiter and a FJ62

Last week I was hired to shoot the New Mexico Department of Transportation nerve center.  Its referred to as the Transportation Management Center and its housed in the basement of an old mansion just west of Downtown.  The client I was shooting for was Jupiter and they were looking for shots of the giant flat screen installations as well as the server room.  The server room was actually quite fun.  It pushed my D700 to take pictures at 800 and 1600 ISO with 30 second exposures.  I won't say there was no noise but it was minimal and Lightroom 3 cleaned it up what was there.








This past Saturday I had the great opportunity to shoot an FJ62 in the beginnings of a rebuild.  The project is for a friend of Bridget's that has been station in Afghanistan.  His family and friends are getting together and providing what they can to rebuild his FJ62 Toyota Land Cruiser.  My wife Bridget pitched in the photographer... me.  When asked what vehicle I would want if I could have any vehicle out there my initial response would be an M13 Half Track but a close second would be a FJ 45 pickup or an FJ40 (I'm still undecided)...  The project will probably last most of the year, so I hope to capture more of the rebuild as time goes on.
