“Life as a photographer is spending half my time justifying the need for more equipment and the other half praying that I can pay for it.”

Calendar Pin-up Photoshoots
Calendar Pin-up Photoshoots
A year ago I was contracted by a media company working for Pittsburg Paint and Glass, PPG to photograph this 1972 Oldsmobile 442 for the 2025 calendar. My images grace the calendar for the month of October. Most people from St. Charles will recognize this soon to be re-developed area on N 2nd Street.
About the same time, a local guy contracted me to photograph this brand new 2024 Corvette Z51 for the Alex Viola Foundation calendar. We landed on February 2025 and like most of the models I photograph, both these gals were way outa my league. And that’s the beauty of doing these calendar pin-up shoots.
All this work was interesting and fun, but the most valuable take-away for me was getting to know the owners of these vehicles and their story.
Coming Up in 2026
Coming up in 2026, so far, I have 2 vehicles in the PPG calendar. Both photographed in May and I have to wait to see what months we land on.
Check out this 1963 Ford F100 owned by a guy named Paul out in Wentzville Missouri.
Then I had the opportunity to meet Tyler. He’s a younger man with a heart to help young people get into the trade. Tyler is from New Bloomfield Missouri. He rebuilt this 1950 Chevy 3100 pick up.
Finally
Finally I’m always grateful to see you stop by. And just in case you were expecting to see a pin-up girl, I offer this shot I made at a fashion show, awhile back.
All my projects begin with your idea and a discussion – offering professional work that matters for people who care.
Peace!
Mike
