What a great interview. There are so many “shutter bugs” in PCA this interview with Michael will resonates us, and I’m sure even those that aren’t shutter bugs will get a valuable insight into the craft. Michael also has a talented in expressing his craft and art. Thanks guys! 👍🏼

Michael is an extremely talented, creative photographer and all-around good guy. I had the good fortune of meeting Michael and writer David Matthews at Parade, when they collaborated to feature my Porsche in a Panorama article several years ago (along with Damon Lowney handling video, hey Damon). I alway look forward to seeing all their work in Panorama issues, and PCA Insiders videos. Congratulations Michael on the publication of your new book !!

Great interview. I just ordered Michael's book. Can't wait for it to arrive.

Michael is a real stand up guy and immensely talented. He's a regular at Bay Area car gatherings and often drives his Moal Custom shoebox Ford. Great to see his work outside of the pages of Panorama. Thanks for featuring Michael and his work.

You were very lucky, Vu with your clutch adjustment.

[ianhardin]

He mentioned Tom Cotter. Is that "The Barn Find Hunter" Tom Cotter!?

[michaelgaffney]

For six volt systems on obviously older car that has not been driven in a while, a small amount of corrosion/ slash dust can be a problem. Get good at wiggling😉

❓ it seems as if Manny‘s lisp is getting progressively worse, his Baltimore accent also may be accentuates this.

Jeez, two more models of a vehicle that isn't selling and has some of the worst resale value in the market.
