We must put aside spelling snafus and discuss a vehicle glimpsed in the previous photo and consider this—gasp, a red Rolls Royce Convertible. They make those?
I normally would ask what normal American could afford one. But with San Diego housing prices and rentals reaching new highs, and the wealth matrix rapidly rising, surely someone(s) could buy and drive such a ridiculously loud status symbol. And in this day of Instagram and TikTok influencers, the owner could be driving on a learner’s permit. Hey, just speculating.

I shot these shots using a panning motion. I found I could match the cars speed with my motion right about in front of me. The whole track has this fence around it which makes it hard to shoot really clean shots, from where I was setting anyway.

They are open during construction. Or constriction. Whatever the case may be.
Their temporary sign is a DIY masterpiece, a painted scrap of cardboard fastened to the scaffolding with nylon cable ties.
A nice and nasty 7.3 diesel in a Ford 1 ton truck. Notice the PTO on the transmission as well.

The sky was crystal clear blue on the first day of 2017. This sign caught my eye. Perhaps it was because of the superfluous apostrophe. (6115a)

Emulation of William Eggleston's work
The return of color!
Mission:
Emulate the work of William Eggleston (American, 1939-).
Like Pete Turner, William Eggleston is another 20th century photographer that helped to bring legitimacy to color photography. While Eggleston did begin photographing in black and white, he began using color in the 1960's. In the 1970's, Eggleston discovered dye-transfer printing, about which he stated "every photograph I subsequently printed with the process seemed fantastic and each one seemed better than the previous one" [source]. One of his most famous works, The Red Ceiling was printed using this method. His photos printed with the dye-transfer have a very heavy saturated quality to them.
However, more important than color is Eggleston's subjects, which are characteristically mundane. John Szarkowski wrote about Eggleston's work: "[it] is consistently local and private, even insular, in its nominal concerns[...]. [Eggleston's work] might [be] in a diary, where the important meanings would be not public and general but private and esoteric. It is not clear whether the bucolic modesty of the work's subject matter should be taken at face value or whether this should be understood as a posture, an assumed ingenuousness designed to camouflage the artist's Faustian ambition" (William Eggleston's Guide, introduction).
While his saturated colors do add an additional element to his work, Eggleston's most significant trait is his ability to give significance to this mundane world. According to Eudora Welty: "The extraordinary, compelling, honest, beautiful and unsparing photographs all have to do with the quality of our lives in the ongoing world: they succeed in showing us the grain of the present, like the cross-section of a tree.... They focus on the mundane world. Eggleston's work deals with subtlety -- peel back the ordinary image that you see when you view Eggleston's work and see the story that lies beneath it.
Your assignment is to create a photograph in the William Eggleston style. Successful submissions should look like an Eggleston image visually (color and saturated) and also have a level of subtlety.
WIT
I found that the mundane doesn't always have to be ugly. That was my biggest contention with Eggleston. I can go along with the color and saturation, even some of the down-trodden looks... but so many of his images were just plain ugly that I can't appreciate them nor the story that may lay behind them. My take on life is to reveal the beauty, uncover the flower among the weeds, sort to speak.
The one image of his that I do like is the nearly monochromatic image of a kitchen sink piled with dishes in a very sparse room with the sunlight coming through. The whole image is soft and golden... that was communicating feeling to me.
My struggle wasn't to find the mundane, but to find the mundane worth shooting (in my opinion). I took several, but only uploaded a few here. This is the one I am most satisfied with.

I so remember stopping here. The historic Midway Church is right next door but I am always drawn to automotive places.
I took this for Don before I knew him :)
