Art & Inspiration Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers - Day of the Drags portraits 2009

I posted some of these last year - a good friend and amazingly talented photographer, George Brainard has been taking portraits out at the Day of the Drags show. He did it again this year and got some really great stuff. You may recognize some familiar faces in there.

Buzzard and Angie...

Mercury Charlie












Every hot-rodder's best friend - El Jefe...

 

Cool photos and a good eye. HRP

 

Beautiful work!

 

What great shots.

Ya know, a photo album like this dedicated to HAMB members would be pretty damned cool.

That way, when we are out and about at shows et al, we could see who our members of the flock are.

 

Excellent pictures.FALFA

 

Wow, those are great shots.

 

Very good shots. Thanks for posting them.

 

top drawer stuff

 

very nice pics

 

that is way cool

 

Great photos!! The side of Hot Rodding that really means alot to me -- The People.

Thanks.

George is really good. That pic of Willie, the tech and fuel czar, says it all. Classic.

 

Nice work

 

Awesome, great shots

 

WOW very cool indeed. Great work, pass the word on. Slim

 

hmmmm..... thats pretty effin cool!

 

I know some of those clowns.

cool shots looks like El Jefe was almost trying to smile there ?

I don`t know if Willy can

 

Like I was telling George a couple of weeks ago, I don't know if I want to know everything about some of these folks, or just stare at the pictures and let a story come to mind. Most of them are great snapshots of people having a good time at a day at the track. Others are simply pure art.


On another note, he did a great job capturing the obvious sexual tension between Dennis and Robert.

 

those are some cool shots

 

That's some really great stuff....Wow!

 

neat shots.

 

You took the words right outta' my mouth!
Started out saying to myself, "just people pics -- no hot rods" and then I was totally drawn in by the fact that they are ALL great portraits. You're an artist, man!
Thanks

 

ahhahaha......

 

Arrrgh , I Can't see any pic's and the link does'nt work .....

 

No comment on that one, It could get ugly... George is a great Photographer !

 

Haha, you know I love you guys. (not like that)

 

Dang ! Thems COOL photo's ! My vote goes for the chick in the red pants , Mercury charlies chick , then the bromance with Robert & Dennis ! I know there black & white pic's butt I still seeing red !

 

Now Buzzard I still don't know why your lovely wife is punishing herself so much. She is to dam good for you. And Peckerhead if I need some shit I will squeeze your fat head.

 

And Steve tell George the pic are BAD ASS!!!
