April 11 Feature: McGaffin Digital Photography

[XcYZ]

The April Feature of the Month is a slight departure from what we've done in the past. After reviewing quite a bit of Rob McGaffin's photography, I asked him if we could do a Feature on his work. As I explained, while anyone can pick up a welder and weld, it takes a true craftsman to make it beautiful. I feel the same way about Rob's photography; anyone can pick up a camera and take pics, but Rob has exceptional talent and takes photographs.

His Feature reflects that. He was kind enough to send over 200+ photographs that show his wide range of work, not only cars, but also people, product, and events.

Also included is his Olds 442 and the transformation that it has seen. It's all covered in his bio within the Feature. Be sure to check it out, it's fantastic.

Very nice profile, Scott... nice to see a little change of pace. Great story behind it. I briefly met Robert at RTTC and chatted, but did not know the history. Very cool. :thumbsup:

Now THAT is Art!!!

I didn't need this feature to become a fan of Rob's photography, but it DID make me an even BIGGER fan of his talent.

Scott, what a great diversion from the usual feature!!! :thumbsup:

Couldn't go to a cooler person---plus, Rob took me on a run through the cones at Del Mar in Bad Penny---Steve was nice enough to loan her out to us---now I know how bad my car really is.

Thanks again for the pic of my car bro and congrats on being featured here---I'm a huge fan of the 442 as you know---looking forward to seeing in person someday. Your work speaks for itself!

Thanks alot Doug. It was a great time hanging out with you and the whole So Cal. crew. It was fun and gracious of Steve to pass Penny around like a cheap whore. It's a fun car. Hopefully I can get you and the Olds together sometime. Thanks for the compliment. I was really flattered that Scott wanted to do this.

Congratulations Robert, you deserve the recognition! You've taken some beautiful shots of some great cars, some of which ended up in our catalog which I am eternally grateful for! Your shots make our catalog look fantastic and made it possible to put it all together in time to get them printed for SEMA. I owe you one!
You have a natural talent that I am sure will take you places. Best of luck always!!!
