timeless travel

february tenth

this picture has a semi-interesting story behind it. this car/garage sits right on my way to eau claire, so i typically see it at least four times a week. it really shines out, though, at night. why? i don't know. it just looks cool that way. in any case, i drove past this scene a lot over the course of two or three weeks, and every time it was too hazy, i didn't have my camera, i was driving with someone, etc. always an excuse.

so i finally got the chance to take it on my way home from a super bowl party. i ended up walking up the driveway with my camera and tripod to take the picture, and i wasn't really sure what i was going to do if the people didn't like photography, or more importantly, their dog didn't like photography. i could see the people inside their house, watching tv, standing around. weird.

nothing happened, though, and i took a few pictures of this scene. these two are my favorites, and showing them to people i found that different people like the different perspectives.

well ben, i really like this picture. the car looks vintage. too bad you didn't get a shot of the side back of the car with th dark as a background. that would have been a close up that would have looked awesome. but this shot is really neat.

for what it is worth, it was -12 degrees outside. my hands were prettttty cold after a few shots...although that would have been a good picture.

and this is why you need to come to my house and take pictures with me...

it's one of the pictures that makes me instantly feel like i'm there, even though there's nothing overly spectacular in it.
