My better half likes T Birds. The more recent ones though. But this is a classic and I love classics.

I was just doing some organizing and clearing some old clutter (photos) from the files and ran across this treasure. Not the best photo but the car. I just couldn’t bring myself to throw out a classic. I think it’s from the late to mid 50s if I were to guess.

I’m from the 50s myself so I guess I’m getting to be a classic. And like any classic I’m probably showing some signs of age. I’m not as fast as I used to be. I don’t start as easily. The shoes are a little worn. I’m so old I didn’t come with emergency flashers. See that little toy in the back window. We used to ride up there as kids.

I’ll be looking for some more classics to photograph soon. I can hear those car guys in there garages now getting ready to take the battery off the trickle charger and reconnect it for its periodic restart. Checking fluids and belts.

I can’t wait till they start to roll out on the first nice weather days of the spring. I was reading a article from Canon from photographer Larry Chen, on shooting cars and that has given me some new thoughts for the coming year.

And I can’t wait to attend my first show or catch some guys out on the street. Drive safe.

Random Thoughts of the Evening

• My mother always taught me to try to look for the best in people. There has to be a limit on how long you have to search for it with some people though.
• The NBA wouldn’t need an All Star weekend if they were playing competitive games throughout the season.
• Sometimes when I get down I forget to remind myself my family has its health.
• Speaking of the NBA. How many generations have to suffer through the Washington Wizards before someone develops a team worth watching?
• Vive la Résistance – I think I’ll end each post with those words.
