Improvisation

I wanted to take some photos today (trying out my brand new Nikon D3200), so I went looking for a subject I hadn't photographed yet. I've shot spring flowers a dozen times, but never my dad's old 8N tractor. It's 62 years old, but he still uses it on a regular basis. It once belonged to his father (my grandfather, whom I barely remember as a crew cut old man sitting in an easy chair), and it has memories embedded in every greasy crack and pore. If farm equipment could talk, this piece would have stories to tell.
