Anyone got a hankering to be an auto spy photographer? There is a new job slot open, now that Hans Lehmann is calling it a day; or perhaps better put, calling it a "career."Lehmann, along with another super sleuth Jim Dunne who also recently retired, were the bane of the auto industry for decades, snapping images and feeding them to news outlets well before the vehicles were to be released. In fact thanks to Lehmann, Dunne (and Brenda Priddy, etc.), the auto companies spent tons of time, energy and money doing everything in their powers to hide these vehicles in any way they could from these folks.

Hey guys ... don't believe everything you read!! Yes, Hans has retired - but the company lives on (with new owners)! The Lehmann Photo-Syndication Agency is alive and well and still producing photos from around the world. Here in the States - photos from the Lehmann Agency will be distributed by Brenda Priddy & Co. (me) and we're thrilled to welcome Hans' fine photographers to our group of shooters.

I'm disappointed to see such a legend make the trek to Florida, but I'm appreciative for all the photos/videos he's given us.
Ms. Priddy, thank you for all your hard work. Your talent and dedication are what keep the oogling masses satisfied.
