So I have been rolling........... So much amazing landscape.......... and small snippets of adventure,........ and fantastically interesting people along the way..............
Most days as a professional photographer I have very specific missions to execute ........... but right now this is traveling with a view to shooting something .......... but that something........... is only determined by how the mood takes me and what I think of ......... or what I see along the way ............
Like Jim's Auto Salvage kind of amazing kind of terrible in equal measure .......... when I first turn up out of the blue Jim says he is fed up with folks taking pictures of his old cars and putting them in calendars .......... so he says he doesn't want photographers ............ but then we have a little more conversation ........ he is somebody literally making a living dealing with what others regard as junk ...... it looks like a difficult life ........... he is proud and self reliant ....... but he suffers from all the issues that drag on people trying to make their own business .... he is particularly bothered by taxes and regulations ..............
We have a nice conversation and I show him some photographs. Then he changes his mind and says I am OK to take a wonder round his giant site with literally thousands and thousands of rotting vehicles over acres of land.
Its like I said originally kind of amazing .......... Kind of terrible.......... Old vehicles some damaged by crashes others just rotting having expired some other way ............. All with a feeling of sadness draped around them ......... Their only hope that a crazed enthusiast will want to resurrect them ........ But more likely they will gradually deteriorate and over the years be slowly cannibalized for parts ..............
Of course this place is something of a horror in this beautiful landscape ........... and yet I find there is honor in trying to recycle and create value in the stuff people are just throwing away....... and this place is almost honoring the history of these once mighty Beasts ............
Cheers Jez XXXXXXXX

Why build an automotive museum? Because one way or another, our lives are touched by the automobile. We remember our parents’ cars, the ones we traveled in with family, the ones we borrowed for our first car date, the first ones we bought. The fast cars, the junkers, the modified ones and the ones we rebuilt—all of them are tied to us in memory. We even dream of cars.
William E. Backer, former owner of Backer Potato Chip Company in Fulton, Missouri, looked back in time and found that a vintage automobile was a thing of fascination. His memories were of old country roads and two lane highways. Bill Backer was an engineer and a builder who loved to tinker. Having built a successful potato chip company, he looked back at the cars that were part of his childhood. Shortly after, he owned a Canadian 1924 Dodge Touring. Dark blue with black fenders and a cloth top. Bill drove his family around the back country roads of Callaway County, Missouri and felt himself touching fading memories.
Not long after he collected the Dodge, Bill had a 1909 Ford Model T. Soon after that, a 1930 Model A. Then a 1929 Cord, a 1931 Rolls Royce Phantom II, a 1957 Chevy Bel Air, and so on. By the mid 1990’s, the number of classic autos in the collection neared 100. Bill found a home for many of his classic cars in an old retail building in Fulton. The Auto World Museum Foundation was formed and a classic car museum was opened to the public. Ten years later, in 2006, the automobile museum was moved to its current home at 200 Peacock Drive in Fulton. It is a building dedicated to the history of vintage and modern automobiles as well as the history of Callaway County and Fulton, Missouri.
After his passing in 2008, his daughter, Vicki McDaniel, assumed leadership of the museum and the collection of cars. Since then, the collection of vintage autos has changed a little. However, her primary passion is for the presentation of antique cars and modern ones in a place that everyone can visit.
The presentation of cars and staging of the museum is the vision of Tom K. Jones, Artistic Director of TKJ Designs in Fulton, Missouri. His concept for the museum was a movement through time and a portrayal of the history of Callaway County, Missouri. Auto World Museum is a stage—a movement through history. Its deep black curtains, scenes from back when, panels of advertising and memorabilia will take you through a history of motion in time. At first, you will visit a period not that long ago, although some say 100 years is a long time. As you move in a clockwise direction through the museum, you will find enticing displays. The simplicity of family drives in the convertible. The decadence of Hollywood and its fancy cars. The sights and sounds of the drive-in as you watched from the comfort of your Studebaker or Corvair. You will ponder when gas prices were really, really low. Finally, you will find yourself nearing the future, with displays of alternative fuel vehicles.
Auto World Museum will spark your curiosity. We hope that you will find that our collection of vintage and modern automobiles fascinates you the way that it did Bill Backer. We hope you will continue the journey with us as we add to the collection over time. We would like to thank William Harrison for his dedication to the research on the autos in the museum.
I like so much these long and not very tall off-road trucks. I finally had the chance to photograph one on the road between Deva and Sibiu. The front mounted exhaust is a somewhat strange feature, more common on tanker trucks than on trucks destined to transport goods and personnel.
Appears to have been off the road for a couple of years. Looked in need of a little TLC.

An auto-exposure scale-focus camera, with a 38/2.8 lens. This was $3.00 at the flea market, including the original case.
After looking at some of my older images of vintage cars, I thought it might be fun to concentrate on just the grilles and headlight configurations, since they are so distinctive. I'm considering taking the best 13 shots and making a calendar. Your thoughts?

2 Days in Macau, 3 Families, 5 Camera Personalities to Take Care
Wow I had a great time the last weekend in Macau, 3 families and kids. The 4-5 year-olds are classmates, all one-kid families, so you can imagine how the kids love this short summer retreat.
I enjoyed myself too taking along with me 5 cameras and had some fun shooting. Panasonic GF1, Leica CL, Canon F1, Ricoh auto half, Fujifilm Instax 210.
Yes 5 cameras this time. I had to give each camera an assignment and it was real fun, like working with 5 different persons each get his/her own task but you have to manage them.
Panasonic GF1 being the only digital one was used by my wife mostly, for video and snap shots with kids. Leica CL was for well thought of shots, the Summicron-C lens on it was being switched to the GF1 for shallow DOF mood shots once in a while.
Canon F1 was used to capture dreamy bokeh. Richo auto half was to create color contrasting pairs (like the photos you see in this post). Fujifilm Instax 210 was to offer the kids a real instant photo they can touch.

DE 1746 komt hier met de Auto-Slaaptrein door Best heen. Grapig om te zien dat het best veel op een City Night Line/Euro Night lijkt, alleen dat het enige verschil is dat er geen CNL/EN bestikkering op zit en dat er andere rijtuigen in zitten. En natuurlijk het grootste verschil, dat er hier Auto's achter hangen.
