I am pretty busy towards the end of the year... so I have to feed you with a snap shot from a business trip last week. Looking forward visiting your streams today!
Have a great one!
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.
Tonight at The Old Yarmouth Inn — the Impossible Burger. Should be called The Unbelievable Burger. It's 100% PLANT BASED.
We've tried the Impossible at Burger King and it's pretty good. This was 2.0 version was unbelievable. We had Matt's mother up from Connecticut last week and brought her to our nearby inn. Matt tried this and none of us could believe it. Back for lunch in a few days.

I took this from pretty far away, I am not sure how it landed there but if it fell there. Clearly the impossible landing
This is from series of photos that I took in North Africa and the Middle East in 2008. I was lucky enough to interdependently travel through these areas a few years before the current destabilization. In my solo travels from Morocco to Pakistan I experienced nothing but warmth and generosity from the people I met. Without the help and support of countless strangers it would have been impossible to complete this long overland journey.

I have tried to capture little vignettes of New York.
A couple of weeks ago, Oskar Smolokowski - Head of Camera at Impossible Project - visited the Apple Store in Covent Garden to show off the Instant Lab, and talk Impossible things. He had a prop, I took a snap on my iPhone, passed it through my own (not bisected) Instant Lab...
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!
Não tenho nenhuma placa com estampa de estrelas e improvisei com o The Impossible.
Problema, algumas estrelas ficaram com as pontas pra cima e repuxando fio de roupa. 😑
Usei três camadas dele e pesquei algumas estrelas na primeira camada justamente pra tentar cobrir as pontas delas nas camadas seguintes, com duas camadas ficou bom mas a terceira eu achei necessária pra melhorar o acabamento.
Achei super natalino e amo a cor desse esmalte. 😍
