Vintage Race Cars

One of my weaknesses is old race cars. Watching and listening to these vintage machines go around the track in anger arouses me. I’m glad that some people have the interest and where-with-all to keep these classic machines going. I wonder how the economy will affect motorsports in general and vintage racing in particular. I hope they can keep these old cars on the track so we can continue to enjoy them. It’s one thing to see an old car in a museum and quite another thing to experience them doing what they were designed to do, go fast. Photographs are from Virginia International Raceway and Road Atlanta.

Rainy Day in Greensboro

The drive in to work this morning was a lot like this image from Virginia International Raceway.

Motorsports … It’s That Time of Year for Auto Racing

Automobile, Motorsports

Yes, it’s that time of year again. The Rolex 24 hours was run this past weekend, and the Daytona 500 is just around the corner, so auto racing is about to start a new season. As racing is one of my weaknesses (especially sports car road racing), I look forward to the new year, although I wonder what effect the economic downturn will have. I hope to be able to shoot at least a few events. Photo is of an old Formula One car from a vintage race at Road Atlanta.

Old Farm Truck

Today’s image is a still-life study of an old farm truck I pass on my way to Greensboro. I see things daily that strike me as possible photos and I make mental notes to catch them when the light is right. Add a little lensbaby style post processing.

Model A Ford… Barn Find?

Automobile

I went out one afternoon with the intention to buy some chickens, and stopped by a local man’s home/business. He did indeed have chickens, but while I was there, he also offered to show me part of his old car collection. He opened the door to small garage and I saw the scene above. To the right of this car was another door with a similar vehicle behind it. I’ve always heard stories about barn finds, although I guess you would have to call this a garage find.
