1937 chevrolet
it’s been my least favorite time of year long enough. i hate the heat of summer. i just can’t do it. my head has been a bit dizzy lately, so i don’t really want to go far without my better half by my side.
i hide inside all day if i can, dreaming of escaping the state soon enough for a break, but it still seems an eon away. work keeps me busy, and it’s never a good time to step away.
so of course, missing several car shows i’d have like to have gone to. had to do an overnight in bakersfield (hell in itself), a couple of weeks ago. was told there was also a show at the kern county fairgrounds the day we were leaving. i knew about it, chose not to go, but did see a small line up of a car club gathering on the road just outside of our hotel, as we left too early before sunrise.
so, yep, missed the viejitos show in anaheim that weekend, which we had planned to go at least a few hours early early. heard it was a hot day too.
missed the legends show, as we simply didn’t know about it until after it was already happening…hadn’t seen any fliers, though i did search for it a month ago.
also, have never been to the ventura nationals, but we typically don’t go anywhere on holiday weekends anyway.
so…here i am sifting through my trove of past show pics.
remembered the cornfed run in chino, on a nice, cool, rainy day. got drenched, looked like a water hag, but stayed around most of the day. got some nice shots of cars like this chevy, spotted with rain drops, puddles of water below, reflecting the sky, the cars, the people.
still not so sure about the newer camera. better half says i’m not using optimal settings for the lens i use, but i don’t like the shots when i do. will have to get back out more often when summer is done, and give the batteries and my mind a recharge.
