Formula D Long Beach

 I was invited to formula D long beach and I took my camera with me

I got myself into blogging for Dstroyr and I made my first blog entry highlighting formula d long beach's event

My only complaint were the "media access" photographers.  I bumped into quite a few who were talking to models I wanted to photograph.  Not wanting to interrupt I would just stand waiting for a chance to ask the model for her to pose and its like someone handed a bunch of these guys a cheesy cliche pickup script.  I heard at least three or four of them say things like "I have a hookup with a magazine, although I cannot guarantee anything right now, we need to get together and do a more intimate shoot... etc etc"

I dont, in any way, want anyone to ever think of me like that.  I felt as if too many people try to milk being a photographer and use it as a way to talk to girls.  I always knew about situations like these, but this weekend I was able to witness this first hand.  I dont want them to ruin the image of other photographers like me who just do it for fun.
