I am a “car guy”… I love old cars.

These might be tough (he says hopefully.)

Natural light is literally the radiation of a star. It is cool to think about that (it is also cool to think about how long it takes for starlight to reach us, and that things we see in the night sky may no longer exist, but I digress.) Except for stars and artificial light sources, everything we see is merely a reflection. The light of our sun or our earthly and artificial lights bouncing off of objects. It is fun to play with that concept and shoot reflections of these reflections… and present these reflections. Maybe I’ll make a theme of it!
In making this photo I traded image quality on the E-type to focus and expose the reflected street scene of parked Alfas at the start of the Monte Shelton Northwest Classic. I could probably retouch away some of the blemish of the “foreground” to make a nicer image, but overall I like the shot.

I may have posted this photo before, but never as a “CPotD”. I ran into this machine at a local car show. One of those oddities that you have put out of your mind and then when it reappears gives you a chuckle and a shrug. Care to guess the car’s identity?
I’ve been both busy, and ill (thanks Nick & Sue!) for the past several days so have neglected to post any “CPotD” images for a while. Here’s a raft of them to make up for it. Enjoy!







A different view of an iconic (to the point of being overdone IMO) machine.

I’m writing another one of my reviews of a vintage car for TTAC. This time the 450sl. It’s been cooking for the past couple of weeks, with lots and lots of edits and do-overs. I usually write pretty effortlessly, but this one has been frustrating for some odd unknown reason.
I’d love some feedback, if you have any… so go have a read here and add your comments.

Mitch Katz puts a bit of polish on his Alfa Romeo before a big group photo taken on the 2006 Going To The Sun Rally.
My car was in the photo too… but I didn’t bother to clean off the bugs. 😉
