I think it is what the motors represented in their day and the functional role they played, a sentimental attraction is often tied in by an emotional response representative of past memories of certain icons. The motor car is one. But it could be a an empty playing field a run down town house or a deserted footpath, beach first thing in the morning. It touches into a time when things were more active and buzzing and emotive, but are no more. For me some of your pictures say this to me, whether it was your intent or not.
I often like to capture these moments for the future before they totally disappear. There is always a healthy supply, because where there is life there is death, where there is new there is old. What will keep these icons going is your photography. What may start them up and have life again is the sentiments of what they represent will enter peoples hearts and so affect people in that respects. In my opinion its what they mean to me. No different from why i spend hour photographing a rusty fence or an old crisp packet in the garden left by my son a week ago.
Nice work though.

Crazy colors. I have to say I enjoy your truck pictures. I miss mine: 1975 Ford F-250 Ranger XLT Supercab Trailer Special. Whew! that's a mouthful! The thing had a history even before I adopted her in the early nineties. It's maiden voyage was from Delaware, USA to the Alaska-Canada Highway with a trailer and a family of kids in tow, and back. I spent many nights curled up in her bed (she had a cap on the back with sliding screened-in mosquito-free windows), either on the road, Canada included, or outside my sculpure studio in college after a night's artistic ramblings waiting for class to begin. Rust got the better of her until the last mechanic told me, "Her cab is basically just resting on the frame. Take a corner too hard..." So that's what all that creaking was about! RIP, old girl.

Lovely.The car's blue paint matches the sky so perfectly, it seems as if it's not paint but the actual sky seen through holes in the metal.

I am a fan of your old houses and (nearly) runined car photographs...Excellent focusing and brilliant colours are not the only things that I feel to be admired with but, also your feeling about them are so humanist that's what I like the best....
We are all waiting for a miracle or something magial to happen even for ourselves....And still carry to hope of somebody to visit us and repair all broken parts, as you are saying in the first song of the private concert says...
Thanks for sharing that beauty with us!

I like the angle of the photo, not looking down on the subject. Did you use a filter to boost the colors? I know you've mentioned using one to get that gorgeous blue sky before.

WayneBenedet In reply to ww2warbird [2008-03-22 01:27:18 +0000 UTC]
I probably used a polarizing filter. It is really the only, and I think best way to get that deep blue.

I see why you would be reminded of this truck by the words to the song. It's like it's saying that IT had a dream and it wants to survive. Maybe it doesn't want to just sit out there ...dead. Maybe that's not the same message you got, but that was what I thought of. I like the colors and composition.

You're welcome. I'm glad I saw it the same way. I tend to look at old houses and vehicles, etc. as though they actually had feelings. Maybe they do. Who knows.

WayneBenedet In reply to grandmajudie [2008-03-22 03:38:59 +0000 UTC]
I do the same....While I am note sure they have feeling, I do think they hold memories.
