I like the texture, color, and depth of this one. It’s my favorite from the day.

I found the gauges on this old firetruck pumper very interesting.

A few weeks ago I decided to sign up for the Kelby photo walk. It seemed like a good opportunity to shoot things I wouldn’t normally shoot. There is a group pool on Flickr where you can view the images by the Orange, CA attendees.

Sometimes I will think and study a subject before shooting. At other times my eye and finger are linked and completely bypass my brain. It’s all for fun anyway.

It seemed like an ordinary ‘58 until I looked under the hood. Three 2-barrel carbs, whoa!

With soccer and baseball both happening at the same time this Fall, I’ll be busy with shooting, editing, processing, and archiving. I can’t wait.

I spend a lot of time processing images. I justify the time and effort by considering it training. In order to be able to process an image to my vision, I need to understand what’s possible. I am constantly trying to figure out what I like to see, and how I like to see it.

I can’t break free to travel to a special location as often as I’d like. Instead I’ve decided to look for subjects close to home that I can shoot when the time becomes available. Living in LA means there are dozens of car shows every week. If I don’t have anything scheduled, I can just drop in at a show and spend some time with the old cars.
