Love all the different shots and photo's.

The ones of chrome up close make be realize what someone told me years ago about painting something to make it look chrome and that is chrome is really white with shadows of grey and light blue to reflect the sun and the sky!!!!!!!

Great thread. Jimbo

Traditional, this certainly is not; and there are those who may question the validity of such a departure on a site dedicated to traditional hot rods, that require a more traditional point of view from the photographer, in my humble opinion. But, to each his own. If you want the fun house approach to seeing things, then this is certainly the path to Weegee world, via Salvador Dali and a whole lot of other rebels in the visual arts business; because once you start futzing with perceptual modes, you are challenging the very nature of the content itself. Or, as Marshall McLuhan liked to say, 'The medium is the message'.Bypassing the rules this way, you are thumbing your nose at the very foundations of the premise this site is meant to represent. And, yes, you can argue otherwise by saying it is Art. However, the fact is that nontraditional means of viewing the object makes the object less interesting than how it is viewed. Art in and of itself, or as some say: 'art for arts sake' tends to make the finished image more important than the subject or object it is derived from. Pop art tended to prove that point. As much as this may appeal to your artistic side, my question is this: do these pictures give us a better understanding of traditional hot rods, or are they done as visual statements about how good the photographer is? Because when you make photographs the object of view, they are no longer photographs, per se, but artistic statements. Having an Art School background, I hated having to state the facts as they are because some of the pictures are good, but as a traditional hot rodder, I see the slippery slope that exists when people who don't understand the tradition, that I personally feel this site stands for, futz with things a little, others see this as the opening to do a lot more. When you open the door to all kinds of other trends that have nothing to do with this particular world view, traditional hot rods, what happens to those of us who worship here? These little things tend to muddy the water we are all baptized in. Don't you think?

Here's a painting someone did of our Speedwagon before we acquired it.

Barn Find · Mar 5, 2013

I'm encouraging Dad to keep that mirror arm on the truck so it is still recognizable when it is back on the road. It is not getting painted, but it will look significanlty different when it rolls again.

Barn Find · Mar 5, 2013

We drove 1500 miles to retrieve the Shaniko Speedwagon. 50 miles before we got there, we saw another one sitting along side the road. I think the clouds make it a pretty picture. Is that artsy, or do I flatter myslef too much? Either way, it's a priviledge to share these photos and stories.

Mike Hows does nighttime time elapsed photography of old cars in wrecking yards, abandoned amusement parks and so on. Some of the photos are just plain cool.
