Every once in awhile I just get a "bug a boo" that I want to go on a little road trip. One of those trips where your agenda is vague. You have at least one destination , several "I want to check this out" and I wonder where this might lead me ideas. A good traveling companion is also a must. It is important that whomever you travel with likes this kind of trip, meandering, frequent photo stops, trying new things.I saw this car today on the way back from one of the islands. I had had an early morning workshop and was just tooling along thinking about whether to stop and get something to eat or just wait till I got home. On a lonely corner was this sweet old car. Of course I turned around to take some pictures.
The car is really just a shell of it's former days. As I walked around it the thing that kept coming to mind was that somebody once really loved this car. It took a family to church, to work, ran errands and on Sunday's after church and supper, probably took it's family on a little road trip. One of those road trips that I like. The meandering kind....I'm off.
i used to take road trips like this all the time
ReplyDeletei think it is one of the 'things' for some reason i left in va...now that you bring it to the forfront i think i might need to revisit this activity this summer...what a great reminder!
now that the picture has come up...my son is beginning a restoration of a car like this!
What a forelorn looking car! Thanks for stirring the imagination with it!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy your blog and your art as well as your photos.
ReplyDeleteIt's always fun to check in and see what's new.
I love the car image you posted. What photo imaging program do you use?
Thanks for art. It's inspirational!

I just have to say that I love your blog and especially the name, what was the inspiration for it? I found the link on the Art Techniques yahoo group. Photography has my heart and I'm trying to present it in a more artistic way.
