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.
