 
  As some of you may remember from last year, I created a program for TTNet'rs with photography skills to get press passes to various events and races across the nation in exchange for taking photos for the magazine. The program was a huge success last year generating some terrific results, in particular from our 3 California guys. So, its a new year and the event circuit is starting to warm up with the approach of Spring, so that being said we are looking for able photographers who would be interested and able to cover some high profile events around the nation. In exchange for covering the event and supplying us with photographs you will receive a photo press id badge and press passes to the events. Your event press credential will grant you access to the media center, complimentary food/refreshments as well as unfettered access to event photography locations (Beyond the spectator fences etc..)Preference is given to the existing photographers in California as well as Chris Pittman out of Denver. The requirements are as follows. 1.) A digital SLR camera with a wide angle lense (18-70, 28-70 etc..) for events or a 300mm or better lense for races.
2.) A proven photographic aptitude (email two examples of your work, which do not have to be autmotive related)
3.) A valid state Drivers License If you meet those requirements and are interested in Shooting one of the events listed; send me an email; robert.maddrey@downshiftonline.com
Please be sure to include 2 samples of your photography and either Laura or myself will then get back with you as to ticket and event availability. Thanks, Hot Import Nights Series
