Thank you. They burned 14 or 15 cop cars that night. Unfortunately, I ran out of film and there was no place open to get more anywhere nearby. Do have a few more shots but most were done with film that was too slow so they aren't very good. There will be more in my gallery soon.

Yeah, I'll be doing that. BTW, every image in my gallery at the moment has been PS'd, some a little but most quite a bit. 10 hrs for one of them. Most of these are 20-30 years old and even the negatives are in bad shape. Lots of fading, color shifting, scratches... Check out KC Retro in my gallery and the original in my scraps. That one took 10 hrs. I was working at the 1 pixel level at times.

Yes it did but I think that it was worth it. The photo is just to good to let it die. Now it's on CD in both versions raw and repaired. KC was an awesome model. I have a few more of her that DA will allow and a few that would get tossed so there will be more of her as time goes by. I'm looking at a stack, about 4cm high, that is just the first pick. So keep watching, ya never know what you might see.
