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 ............

En 1953, el Brigadier Juan Ignacio San MartÃn, responsable de la Industria Aeronáutica y Mecánica del Estado IAME, le propuso al presidente Juan Domingo Perón la fabricación de automóviles. Esto para aprovechar las instalaciones metalmecánicas del IAME.
A fin de acortar tiempos de desarrollo se importaron un automóvil y una rural DKW y se adaptó su tecnologÃa. Originalmente el motor era de dos cilindros con baja potencia que resultaba insuficiente para el sedán. Entonces el Ing. Raúl Magallanes propuso un motor de dos tiempos pero con cilindros tipo en "U", solución usada por la fábrica austrÃaca Puch en sus motores de 125 y 250 cc.
El motor de Magallanes era completamente original pero con cuatro cilindros, dos cámaras de combustión y una cilindrada de 800 cc y se lo denominó M-800.
Para la carrocerÃa se inspiraron en el Chevrolet 51 y los diseñadores aeronáuticos del IAME le dieron su particular imagen.
Para los coches sport se aplicó una novÃsima tecnologÃa del plástico reforzado (poliéster) con fibra de vidrio, a fin de bajar el peso. Luego de varios prototipos se definió por una versión de techo duro 2 + 2 del cual se fabricaron sólo 167 unidades antes del cierre compulsivo.
