Photos in print

Since I went on the MASER MIGLIA 8 last year, I've been getting a bit more involved with The Maserati Club (TMC) by helping redevelop their aging website. Through this, Seymour Pond (outgoing club president and editor of the club's award-winning magazine, iL TRIDENTE) saw my photos from MM8 on flickr and decided to use a couple in the iL TRIDENTE article on the event. I'm honoured that any of my photos were deemed worthy of printing in the magazine and last night I got a copy of the new issue from my Dad with the two photos in it. The first is a small one of the landscape surrounding the Grand Canyon framed with the doorframe of the Maserati Bora Paul Muizelaar kindly loaned my Dad for the trip. The second was printed full-page and is the one I actually posted on this blog when I returned from the trip. It's great to see one of your own photos printed full-page in a glossy magazine, so I'm quite proud of myself hehe. I'll try to post a picture of the magazine itself at some point. On the website front, development of the spiffy new TMC site is still ongoing. The design is pretty much finalized now and club members at the dinner in the Panini Collection in Modena last month got a look at a recent revision. I've been working on the design with Andy Katz, with Seymour providing creative input as well and it's been a great process to get such good suggestions and feedback from two guys with plenty of experience in design. We're now waiting for the structure and functionality of the website to be completed before I get to start building a system to run it all. I'll refrain from posting a sneak-peek of the new design as I'd like to keep it a surprise for most of the members, so anyone who wasn't in Modena gets to wait a month or two (or three looking at the list of great features to be developed!) for the site to launch.
