    1956 chevrolet bel air nomad

    only a few more weeks until the season when there is literally at least one car show a day. car gluttony. car-razy. car happy = carappy? whatever.

    i think it's been hinted to throttle back on how many shows i hit up. shall we just say my better half is very patient with me, and i should probably throw more time his way. but, hey, he does work a lot of overtime, so what else am i going to do? i really hate going to the gym, and at least this gets me out and about, hauling around a tripod.

    speaking of upcoming shows, this flamed beauty, and it's hot rod companion (can't really see the flames on it from this side) were at the foothill ranch show last june. was a bit overcast, and not as broiling hot as it got later in the summer there. i can't be sure, but i think this chevy has also been over at fuddrucker's once in a while, and i think it might even belong to the pinstriper guy who comes out once a month there in the summer. i'm sure someone out there will let me know ifn i'm misguided...you always do.

    This is such an awesome shot of this spectacular car d. I don't remember seeing a photo of this from last june. I can only assume you didn't shoot it or were unhappy with the shot you did get. Otherwise, how could you wait so long to post it? I imagine if I had taken it I would have felt inspired to process and post it right away. Now, about your throttle: Keep it revving high please. No hint imagined or real here except for "lending" you whatever equipment you need and buying then replacing your 100mm macro. If there were a hint it would be that I'm proud of you. I believe in you and your photography and am willing to lay down the green to back that statement. Overtime sucks and so does being away from you. Keep going to shows and I'll join you whenever I can.
