My take on The Beatles song 'Day Tripper'! Harlequin Ladybird beetle hitching a ride on a VW Beetle.
macro mondays - Beatles/Beetles
Troca-troca (2002) is a work by Jarbas Lopes composed of three colored beetles, originally yellow, blue and red, which had their bodywork changed, resulting in three multicolored cars. They were used in 2002, by the artist and a group of friends, on a trip from Rio de Janeiro to Curitiba. Communication between the cars was done through an interconnected sound system.
On the way, they put stickers on the windshields of the cars they found on the road, produced from the palindromes archive by artist Luis Andrade: “zé desert, three is ten”, “the bitch leaves in vain”, and “and the bolero; borel oboe”, among others. In 2007, after the restoration, the cars were once again on the road, this time from Belo Horizonte to Brumadinho, after traveling through the surrounding communities.
The Volkswagen Beetle—officially the Volkswagen Type 1, informally in German der Käfer (meaning "beetle"), in parts of the English-speaking world the Bug, and known by many other nicknames in other languages—is a two-door, rear-engine economy car, intended for five occupants (later, Beetles were restricted to four people in some countries), that was manufactured and marketed by German automaker Volkswagen (VW) from 1938 until 2003.

It is called a fusca in Brazil. My father's first car was a (white) fusca.
If you like a VW Bug/ Beetle , I sure you will in love with this origami model ;-))
I created a Cabrio version (you can see that on the left of the photo). It's a variation of the original origami VW Bug, which is shown on the right.
Both folded from double sized wrapping paper 24x24cm. Final size: length 10cm, width 6cm, height 6cm
A few more facts about this type of car:

This tiny car was a Christmas gift from my dear friend, Natalie www.flickr.com/photos/140002260@N04. She just knew I would love photographing it. And as I was a hippie many years ago, it's the perfect model :)
I saw this old vw beetle sitting in this pasture the other morning. It was just sitting there begging to be shot.

The VW Beetle was part of a generation. Last model ended production in Mexico in 2003. BUT I get so happy everytime I see one. Or a person I know has decided to buy and restore one... it brings back... life that was meant to be nevermore... survival?
I tried to find the first two options of the theme but could't get hold, hence my sons toy came to my rescue - this model is only 2 in size shot under a young tomato plant from a nursery

For the Macro Mondays theme Beatles/Beetles. The song "A Taste of Honey" was on the Beatles' first album "Please Please Me". It was written by Bobby Scott and Ric Marlow. The Beatles performed a vocal adaptation, slightly changing the lyrics . See: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Taste_of_Honey_(song).
The background is from the famous Beatles' Abbey Road cover from a CD. Abbey Road, released in 1969, is the last album that all four Beatles took part in.
The honey in the spoon was candied hence the lumps. The portion of the spoon in the shot is approximately 2.5 in (6.5 cm) long. A single shot - not a double exposure.

Thanks for visiting. I am very grateful for faves and kind comments that are left.
The Volkswagen Beetle (officially the Volkswagen Type 1, informally in Germany the Volkswagen Käfer and in the U.S. as Volkswagen Bug) is a two-door, four passenger, rear-engine economy car manufactured and marketed by German automaker Volkswagen (VW) from 1938 until 2003. The need for this kind of car, and its functional objectives, was formulated by the leader of Nazi Germany, Adolf Hitler, who wanted a cheap, simple car to be mass-produced for his country's new road network. Hitler contracted Ferdinand Porsche in 1934 to design and build it. Porsche and his team took until 1938 to finalise the design. The influence on Porsche's design of other contemporary cars, such as the Tatra V570 and the work of Josef Ganz remains a subject of dispute. The result was one of the first rear-engined cars since the Brass Era. With 21,529,464 produced, the Beetle is the longest-running and most-manufactured car of a single platform ever made. Although designed in the 1930s, the Beetle was only produced in significant numbers from 1945 on (mass production had been put on hold during the Second World War) when the model was internally designated the Volkswagen Type 1, and marketed simply as the Volkswagen (or "People's Car"). Later models were designated Volkswagen 1200, 1300, 1500, 1302 or 1303, the former three indicating engine displacement, the latter two derived from the type number. The model became widely known in its home country as the Käfer (German for "beetle") and was later marketed as such in Germany, and as the Volkswagen in other countries. For example, in France it was known as the Coccinelle (French for ladybird/ladybug). [source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswagen_Beetle]
This image was created from multiple exposures blended together in Photoshop CS6 layers using the "Lighten" blend mode. All exposures were taken with a single Paul C. Buff Einstein strobe with a 22" beauty dish attached to a Elinchrom boom arm and a 3-stop B&W ND filter attached to my lens. If you send me a FlickrMail message, I'll be more than happy to send you some information on mostly how I photograph this style and what equipment I use, along with some YouTube video links that help explain this process.

... But does she really want to?
Lots of traffic here this time ;-) "Drive My Car" is not the song I actually wanted to do, but this photo turned out best. Since this is all very retro (vintage tiny figurine which I bought used years ago, the tiny VW-Käfer is a model of one of the very first Beetles "VW 1" with the famous "pretzel" rear window [known as "Brezelfenster" or "Brezelkäfer", admittedly not visible in this shot] which were built until 1953, old "Rubber Soul" LP) and a fun theme, I decided to give my photo a "full vintage treatment" in Nik's Analog Efex with frame and some extra light filter.
Happy Macro Monday everyone!
We are experience some treacherous travelling conditions with freezing rain and snow. I am happy to be able to stay at home today but I am thinking of those who have to travel today home from the holidays or still visiting family and friends. Please drive carefully and get to your destination safely. ❤️

Thank you so much for your visit. I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!
I'm driving home for Christmas
Oh, I can't wait to see those faces
I'm driving home for Christmas, yea
Well I'm moving down that line
And it's been so long
But I will be there
I sing this song
To pass the time away
Driving in my car
Driving home for Christmas
