recovered yet?

  

originally took this picture a couple of years ago. hell of a hot day. somewhere in lakewood. says on the window real small that it belongs to the sultans of long beach club, and also that it's "in recovery." not sure if that's referring to the car or the owner.

been to a couple of shows, briefly, this week. another weekend balancing family time and baseball games. hoping to squeeze in a car show or two, on the way to the field. hoping to see some different stuff. hoping to get some good, fresh pictures to play with.

saw several really nice chevy bel airs driving the opposite direction today. seeing old cars always turns my head, and makes me want to make a quick u-turn or shout "where are you going?" followed by a quick thought of whether my camera is in the car...

sleepy

i gotta get some sleep. my eyes feel like these tail lights...kinda scrunched closed, half awake.

found this one from a while back. sometimes i just wonder why it takes so long for me to get around to putting some of these images up.

i just like the lines going on in this shot.

get it up

low rider types are also not my typical subjects. these two were just on my way out of the show, and there weren't too many people milling around, so  there you go.

i find them difficult to shoot, not this red one in particular, but others are. they like to lower them way down, then pop one or two wheels up so the angle gets all screwed, and/or they pop open the hood and trunk to show off the boom boxes and hydraulics.

i took a shot of the car behind this one. it was up on the far side, so it looks a bit funny. not sure if i'll post it. i haven't decided yet.

dingle balls?

this was unexpected. a fair cadillac; that was typical; but the interior decked out in serapes and dingle balls? seriously? seriously? well...i could only wonder why. maybe i just haven't been to enough car shows. maybe its done all the time. i've just never thought about effing up a caddie with them. come on, the stereotype is a chevy...

and it's for sale. good luck to you.

plain as the nose...

so i briefly thought this was an impala when i looked quickly at the small thumbnail images. when i opened the file, there it is right on the front side, the insignia "galaxie 500xl." errr. and a showlows thingy in the back. my bad, ronnie.

anyone planning on going to the ruby's show on friday? first one of the season? maybe i'll make a brief stop at chubby's too. not sure about the garden grove show...has been disappointing the last few times, but maybe since pep boys cancelled, everyone will be back. 

i'm hoping to find the time...don't think i'll make it to riverside that night.
