Interests

03/09/2010

Here on our "Interests" page we'd like to go into a little more detail regarding our focus and core values.

At Showcase NW Photo we like to think that we have good morals and live not only by mans laws but also by the laws of our creator in heaven. It is our intention to treat all of our customers and suppliers with respect and dignity. We strive to be honest and professional in all of our business and personal relationships.

The following is a list of projects that we are focused on, have worked on, or are currently involved with.

Even though Showcase NW Photo is involved with and promotes motor sports, we are also very interested in the "Greener Side" of our existence on this planet. We feel very strongly about how ALL OF US can make a paradigm shift to using less energy in the way we live and travel. Our Northwest Nature shots express this side of that philosophy and are just a sample of projects to come. We feature many of the following on our site. Contact us to schedule an event or a project that you are working on.

Autos - We love our cars and need to come together to develop alternate "Non-petroleum" dependant forms of commuting, traveling, and YES even racing. Below are a few "Auto" related Web sites that have caught my attention recently.
- www.evcast.com EVCast (The Podcast for information on Electric Cars. I haven't missed one pod cast to to date!)
- www.nedra.com National Electric Drag Racing Association (electrifying)
- http://flytheroad.com Persue Mobility (Three wheeled "LEANING" vehicle just Awesome!)
- www.go-one.us Go-One3 (Velomobile recumbent type bike/vehicle)
- www.aerorider.com Aero Rider ( An electric assist recumbent style bike/vehicle)
- http://www.mdi.lu/english/ MDI The Air Car ( A true "Air" powered car)
Alternate Home Energy -The power went out again after a storm and it reminded me that I hadn't put together that low voltage lighting system with the solar panels and spare parts that I have laying around. There are so many things that we can do to wean ourselves from our dependency on the power, electric, and water companies. I have been doing research on everything from a full scale solar "Grid Tied" systems or residential wind turbines to the smallest solar backup lighting just to give us a little light next time the power goes out. Check out the following links to see where we have gotten some of our inspiration.
- www.dsireusa.org Database of State Incentives for Renewables & Efficiency
- http://stirlingenergy.com Sterling Energy Systems (Invented by Robert Stirling in 1816)
- www.google.com Or any search engine- (look up "stirling engine", you'll be amazed)
- www.homepower.com Home Power Magazine ( A good easy to understand Information source)
Building and Design - As the company founder I have spent most of my life in the construction industry, so naturally we are interested in shooting anything related to building and design. So if you have a project or event promoting your company or products, contact us.
