i like the composition of this picture. not really many people. i like the three chevys from different decades.
the purple of this main car screams for attention, and is really a bit more vivid than this, at least in my mind.
what's up?
a bit of perspective
there is a crazy woman in the house on the corner. luxuriating in outbursts turrets-like, showering profanities on those lucky enough to be in earshot. one woman, who happened by with a couple of chihuahuas too close to her yard, was cursed and her little beasties called an assortment of names not to be here repeated.
i was almost afraid she was going to bound out of her house with either a loaded gun or a large kitchen knife at any moment, to keep the imaginary people off her lawn, and from staring at the spectacle that was herself. fruit loop. or maybe a harpie. haven't decided.
anyway, the solitos co-hosted the show with the church. they parked a number of their cars up and down the street in front of the church, so that's where i was too.
starting with this one, because i liked the angle and the perspective looking down the street. also that it pissed off the old hag something fierce.
his own, personal, jesus
i've been spotting some really incredible impalas lately. clean, etched, engraved, hydraulics, airbrushed and pinstriped.
saw this stylistics car at the church show too.
what might that man be looking at in the trunk besides the engraved hydralical system? ah, there it is now...
the girl on the wheel cover must have been calling him earlier... >:)
so finny
one more for the day, then off to bed.
this one from yesterday at the solitos/whittier foursquare church show. it's a viejitos car. i've probably posted it before, but usually it's ass up against a wall, so difficult to get a nice low angle of the back end.
don't usually see the viejitos this far north, so it's nice once in a while. one of their guys handed me a flyer for their annual show in july. already planning to go to that one again. other side explained why they weren't at the monthly location last time i drove by...they've moved it to a different address.
wondering who they are mourning here...
strike a pose
quick post to start today. upon returning to town yesterday, i went back out to the solitos show down the street. got there after noon, so i suspect a lot of cars had come and gone already.
anyway, i'll get to those cars after a few more from the harbor show.
noting this one, as i hadn't seen any pontiacs in the church lot, and spied it on the way back to my car. always stop to shoot the hood ornaments. as i was pulling out my camera, this lady come out of the house, saying it was her car, and jokingly saying to take a picture of her with her car. ok, why not?
opting not to pull out the other camera, this one had the 100mm lens on it, so i would have had to back up half way down the block to get the whole car in the shot. besides, i had left my bag and tripod in the way, so i hope she doesn't mind this snap of her and her car. you're infamous now, as i don't post too many peeps and their cars here. but you asked, so here you are. nice to meet you, and thanks for letting me snag a picture of your hood ornament.
