And so do I. It’s not that I spend much time thinking
about my love for trucks but when I see one like this I stop in my
tracks. While I consider myself primarily a landscape photographer,
I could easily take a year off and shoot nothing but old rusty cars and
trucks. Unfortunately I just don’t know of enough places where I can find
these magnificent machines. When I do get a line on something like this I
don’t hesitate to shoot them. Experience has taught me they will not be
there forever. A favorite I used to call the “car farm” recently sold
their entire collection because steel prices were just too good to
refuse. I can only hope that somewhere people are parking today’s
old cars so another generation will have the opportunities I have had in
another few decades. After all it takes time for them to age in
place.

Blue Poppies
Yesterday I took a day off work to go to Longwood Gardens to
shoot the Blue Poppies with a couple of friends. Having heard that
this year’s display was the best in recent memory I was not disappointed.
Also known as the Himalayan Blue Poppy, it is my understanding they can
be difficult to grow and perhaps the reason why the displays at Longwood vary
from year to year. One of my other challenges is to try and capture
something I find compelling and yet different from what I have shot in the
past. Yesterday was a good day!
