Art & Inspiration -<(((( Merc Truck Lands on the Moon )))>-

So, while at Mungle's Garage party on the Wed. night before Roundup, Josh of Heliotrope Photography asked if I would mind him shooting The Merc Truck. I ofcoarse asked him (fingers crossed like a lucky wish) if it were going to somehow end up in The Merc Book. I ofcoarse humbly new the answer, but still proudly wished for a different one.

I think they turned out un-friggin-believable. Even with no a chance in hell of landing in that book of gems... Looks kinda like he shot these on location, on the moon...
anyways, nuff said, here's the pic.s. enjoy.

Greg....congrats man, those pics are BEAUTIFUL!

 

The shots are great !!!! Josh of Heliotrope Photography ... Is the MAN !!!

 

Once again....awesome pics!!! I need a photoshop guru to take some shots of mine and do their magic. Dude your truck is kickass....it makes me want a f-1 instead of my lame F-100.

 

Bitchin ride.

 

Wait, it's really on the moon? Looks great!

 

That car is so beautiful. Probably the best pickup I have EVER seen.

 

Dude!

 

Didn't mean to diminish the thrill of having a professional photograph your truck - that is a book worthy photo.

 

Awesome pics!!! gallery worthy!

 

Thank you for deleting that Mac. I think that that was a "stand up" move, by a "stand up" kind of guy.

I was not offended so much for my taste, as I was concerned for Joshs' artistic rights. I thought it looked really cool with the earth in the background. I even thought it was done tastefully. However, Josh, who took the picture might be offended that his work had been manipulated in any way.

 

that is one of the best looking m1's that I have seen. pics are incredible. thankx for sharing those

 

Cool pics. I remember when that truck rolled off the trailer from canada. Such a cool truck.

 

You sir have taste.........beautiful truck!

did we get a chance to meet briefly, at Roundup? Somebody came up to me and my wife as we were pulling out and complimented the truck and said they had also had a Merc Truck... Was that you?


THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH.

 

Yer truck rules! Frickin killer shots of it! I miss my '48 Merc pu, but will get another soon.

I've gotten a couple pm requesting info about the photographer and where to by prints of these pic.s. The artists name is Josh Dilley. He shoots under the name Heliotrope Photography. He is extremely talented and intelligent when it comes to capturing images. Don't be surprised if you buy something else. The guy is truly a wizard. Anyhow, here is his photostream on flikr.com

Check out the pic.s he took of some of the stars from the Merc gathering at the Sacramento Autorama. The guy, flat out killed it....

 

Sweet Truck! Very cool photos!

I drove my old Ford Ranger enough miles to go to the moon and back.

 

Wow - Amazing pics of one killer truck!

 

Very atmospheric, Very nice pictures of a Very NICE Truck!

I needs me a Merc truck to go with my Merc car.
