As this place continues to change without me noticing, I'm sure I'll come to appreciate shots like this even more. Of course, shots of the family are just as important, but there's something equally special about locations. This will always be home.

Home For Thanksgiving
These are actually shots I took of my parents place in October 2005 when I came home from film school for Thanksgiving. What I like most about them is that despite this house not changing all that much over the years, it's rare that we ever think to take pictures of places that are familiar to us like this. The yard, the stacked wood and deck chairs, the swinging bench on the veranda, the basketball hoop over the garage, the lighthouse bird feeder that my dad built, etc. all paint a picture of home for me.

Auto Collection at Imperial Palace: Part 1
Located on the top floor of the parking garage at the Imperial Palace in Las Vegas, the auto collection on display is absolutely incredible. It's no secret what an avid car fan I am, especially when it comes to my Jaguar, and the 125,000 square ft. showroom full of classic cars was pure eye candy. It's part museum, part dealership, and if you're wealthy enough or hit the jackpot in the casino you can actually purchase a lot of these cars.
Among the collection were three Jaguars that I really wanted to see up close, including an E-Type, an XK-120, and the extremely rare XJ220 of which less than 300 were ever made between 1992-1994. In addition to this, I was just excited to see so many beautiful cars that spanned so many different decades, styles, and manufacturers all under one roof.
Specifically speaking, I have never seen so many Rolls Royces from so many different periods in one place. It almost made them seem common place because there were so many - almost. As you'd expect, I killed a few hours here and shot tons of pictures. The cherry on top of it all was that with this printed voucher, admission was free. Look forward to a lot more incredible classic cars in the coming weeks as I share more highlights in this 4 part photo set from the Imperial Palace auto collection.
