2009 Ferrari California flickr find
While out on the town to celebrate our anniversary last month, my wife and I happened upon a photo shoot for the new 2009 Ferrari California while grabbing a drink at Vesuvio's in the North Beach section of San Francisco.
Since I had my camera with me, I decided to take my own pics of the action as best I could in the low light and without a tripod.
As always, I uploaded the pics to my Flickr stream, and went about my day-to-days.
Wouldn't you know it, but a few weeks after the upload, my car-crazy brother (crazy in a good way) points out my Ferrari picture set is featured on the front page of both Carscoop and Jalopnik blogs this week!
Great to be a part of the social media stream, and to have contributed to a couple communities I've only lurked in for a long while now.
