A hot humid late Friday afternoon at the ACD 2018 Festival in Auburn, Indiana. I would estimate there were well over 200 people (spectators) roaming around the streets of this small town admiring (or just gawking) at the multitude of cars parked around the Courthouse and adjacent side streets. Of course my intent was to take some great pictures of classic, antique cars. Well forget that! Totally impossible for a number of reasons:
#1 - The crowds of people were totally overwhelming………… worse, I suspect than walking through the streets of Mumbia, India
#2 - It was hotter than Hell and as humid as Vietnam in July/August
#3 - The sun, now setting much faster than back in June/July was casting long, distracting shadows all over the cars.
#4 - As indicated in this picture, adding to the unwanted distractions were street cones, wooden horses blocking off streets and a multitude of other annoying objects.
#5 - The “classic” car you see here is not even a true classic car - it’s a replication of a 1935-36 Auburn Speedster. If I am going to push, pull and struggle to take a picture of a classic antique car, I want it to be a authentic classic, antique car - not a replica! Anyone with enough money can have a replica built but a replica does not incorporate any of the antique components; neither the body, the chassis, the running gear or the engine.
From purely a photographer’s standpoint, Friday was a waste as far as I was concerned. Saturday was not a whole lot better but I won’t get into that story. Did I enjoy seeing and spending some time with my flickr friends; Steve Brown, his brother, Doug and Grant, yes. Was it great to have my “buddy” (my wife and eternal optimist) Margie along with me, yes. Was it great to try to navigate through mobs and mobs of people in the blazing heat and humidity with two pretty much useless cameras dangling from my neck……..….Noooooo, I don’t think sooooo. Was the trip from Chicago to Auburn, Indiana worth it - I would say, yes.
You will be seeing, I hope, some pictures I managed to get of some classic cars that I stumbled across from time to time in and around the town of Auburn throughout the day on Saturday. Additionally some pictures taken at (and inside) the Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg Automotive Museum. I “hope” some of these warrant being posted.

June 6th, 2010
I left what was my home for the past 3 years today. For the last couple days I've had to say goodbye to each person I've come to know and love over the course of my time in Switzerland. The first day is always the hardest, at least I know it can only get easier from here. But today - well this picture pretty much captures how I feel.
There was a huge window in the hotel I stayed in that night, and once the sun went down the reflections of the inside along with the light coming from outside intrigued me. So, I decided to capture.

We arrived at the end of the corridor.
Just before a dark and closed door.
Impossible to go back.
And this absolute fear to continue...
Nous sommes là, à la fin du couloir.
Devant cette porte close et sombre.
Dans l'impasse entre l'impossible demi-tour
Et cette peur absolue d'avancer...
P.s ; il.Model Not Me'h ;p ♥
Thank's 7beebee Joker ;'$ Love You'h ♥

As there is some painting in progress at home, the aquarium has been moved to a place where Minouta can watch it at close range. Very exciting ...
Do you find the right way downstairs (!) from the beginning to the entrance of the tower?
I am always happy when I can inspire someone with my models and building techniques.
Be fair and do not claim these techniques or my fotos as your own!

The Impossible
When the rumor of invasion reached the ice, the sky did not argue; it listened. A lone traveler walked toward mirrored domes sleeping in snow, carrying only breath and wonder. Mountains tightened their spines, tides remembered ancient grammar, and the planet inhaled, slow and sovereign.
Storms stitched the horizon into prophecy, auroras wrote warnings in green fire, and the frozen ground answered steel with patience. Machines faltered, maps softened, certainty melted into humility. What humans called impossible became merely overdue.
She felt it under her boots: a pulse older than flags, older than fear, rearranging chaos into quiet order. Not vengeance... balance. Not conquest... correction. The Earth does not shout; it repositions reality until arrogance forgets its own name.
In that suspended silence, hope returned like a migrating light. The world remembered itself, and so did we: guests on a breathing planet, saved by its immeasurable mercy always.

Sometimes it is almost impossible to get a picture of Pyper on her own, Pixie has a way of inserting herself in every shot. This was supposed to be a photo of Pyper on the rock but Pixie insisted on being involved. Most of the shots she was just in the background, getting in the way or looking in the other direction. This was one of the few where they both cooperated and looked in the same direction at the same time.
