RE: PAW: Out to Pasture
Hi Frank, I was thinking (always dangerous, especially before my morning cuppa Joe) that it might be nice if you put together a little album of some of your photos of this car, taken over the years you've been photographing it. Put in a context like that, the photos may take on a new life. Y'might even think about a theme of sorts - seasonal, different times of day, front shots only ... y'get the drift. Are you serious in that over a couple of years you've only got a couple of dozen shots of this scene? Or are you seriously underestimating the number of exposures you've made? Shel From: frank theriault [EMAIL PROTECTED] I think I've shown other photos of this poor old thing - it was a bit of a project of mine over a couple of years. Maybe a couple of dozen shots, different seasons, lighting, etc. Then, about 2 years ago, it was gone. I guess (hope) someone bought it to restore to its past glory. http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=2717499size=lg Comments always welcome.

If you did Frank i dont remember.:-) Nice shot Frank. I like the stark contrast from the front light to the dark background and sides. Makes it feel like its leaving earth for studabacker heaven.

Re: PAW: Out to Pasture
Well, it's a jaguar, but the interesting thing about it is that it's similar to one of WES's famous shots in which a Studabaker sits forlorn amongst some weeds, next to a streets sign that proclaims LOVE or DREAM (forget which) Shel From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Nice shot Frank.
