Brady said work as a mechanic is more tedious than it used to be, because it is mostly maintenance, like oil changes and inspections. Fewer drivers come in now for elective body work.

    Just interested if you don’t mind sharing, what f/stop and shutter speed were used for this images? Amazing work! It’s remarkable how it’s almost second nature to put yourself in harm’s way for the sake of an image and throw caution to the wind. My hat’s off to you lol.
