Not really sure why the headlights are turned in. There's a b&w version of this that might show up later...
These old cars belong to a friend of mine. Her husband collects and restores them...these are some of the leftovers. I found that photographing cars is much more challenging than it looks. I applaud those who make it look so easy.
March 2008.
This whole series has been fine. I like the desaturation here, which gives it a particularly nice texture.

@danthro: Thanks a lot! When I first looked at this shot, I wasn't really happy with it. It was just simply a picture of an old car. Nothing special. It wasn't until I started playing with the processing that it took on a different mood/feeling (hard to describe)...funny how that happens.
great capture!!

Great work. What I like the most are the two "eyes" looking cross-eyed one each other... Wys

@Wysterior: I never thought about it that way. :) Thanks, Wys!

Your ultra-cool processing on this one has made it look kinda surreal . . as though it is only posing as an old car and, really, it belongs in some Stephen King story.
