Billet's Garage

Click on image to enlarge

Mr. Billet was a top race car driver in his younger years.  He is still a familiar face working in the pit stops while still running his garage with people coming long distances for his expertise, whether it be to fix a car for the road or rebuilding a classic for the race track.

Mr. & Mrs. Billet are a great couple who reflect Christ in their lives.

We are staying in the Billet's old house where they raised their children, which sits between their new home and his garage.  We're surrounded by trees and a small stream – very peaceful.  At this time of year we've counted as many as 8 large grey squirrels at one time around the house.

Lighting info: The key light flash is camera left, shot through an umbrella, 2 ft. from the subject.  A bare flash (with one barn door) is lower rear on driver's side of car throwing light onto the "electronic apparatus" in BG.  A bare flash is held at camera right providing fill and rim light on subject.  Ambient light (garage entrance) is underexposed by -1 providing minimal fill to front of car and subject.
