Old automobiles are a clichéd subject for sure, but I wanted to share my exploration of two such examples that we found this weekend. The lighting together with the dusty, matte bodywork was too sublime to not make some detail studies of.
I made about six such studies, but these two are my favourites, and the only two that I wanted to share here. I enjoy the irony of the second one, where we are forced to deal with the beautiful forms and curves, together with the humiliating bird droppings. A sort of antithesis to similar images that depict pristine, collectable automobiles, the light which could never play so softly across their shiny, polished bodywork like it does with these.
In a world filled with this clichéd subject, do these two appeal to you? Why? I must admit to not being able to wait to print them really large, I suspect they may come into their own then.
Thanks for looking
