My name is Colin, though I'm commonly know as Fodenalpha on many websites.

My previous username was "BCOL4651" and before that, it was FodenAlpha

I also have a second account here: www.flickr.com/photos/colinsdiecast/

It is where I decided to post my diecast collection as to not clutter this account.

If you're an Instagram user, I have an account on there where I post anything. Lately it's been mostly car related.

I've been interested in cars since I can remember. But really started studying them and photographing them in the last sixteen years.

I seldom shoot modern cars, but when I do it's because the photo turned out nicely or the car is actually easy on the eyes.

When I was much younger, I liked classic cars from the 50's to early 70's(usually American cars) because they stood out so much. But then as I aged and had internet access/watched television. I came to like more everyday European and Asian cars built between the mid 70's to early 90's that were more abundant when I was young.

I've never fancied modern cars for as long as I can remember.

I've also never fancied sports cars or super cars built after say '95. All and all, I like 'boxy' cars where the bumper was a separate part of the car and not apart of the front fascia.

My favourite automobile designer is Giorgetto Giugiaro for his work from the 70's to the 90's.
