1959 Plymouth Suburban Custom, a rotting station wagon, slathered with colored flashlight, in total darkness. At Big M Auto Salvage.
Backed into a Thicket
Looking through the passenger lounge of a dank and rotting early-’60s Pontiac ambulance conversion, melting into the woods. Night, LED flashlight and some local sodium vapor, in 76-seconds.
13 Miles Per Hour
1961 DeSoto at the junkyard. Another of my favorite dashboards, the speedometer (needle stuck on 13) is translucent. I backlit it from outside the car to give it this nice glow (and it also picked up the cracked glass). Warm white straight down and green from the passenger side of the car. The carpeted dash […]
Plucked
Dry-shaved-with-an-old-blade-looking, plastic-nosed, late-’70s Firebird, thru the fisheye. Night, with full moon and flashlight, in 50 seconds.
Broken Wingtip
Mid-’60s Jet-style Thunderbird at Big M salvage yard. Moonlight on the hood and white flashlight bounced into the grille to get some snap on the logo. 4-minute exposure.
Frost Opera
The biggest, fattest, longest, late-’70s junkyard Lincoln Continental you’ve ever seen. Night, full moon outside and blue and red flashlight bounced around inside.
Fantastic Voyage
Basket case 1970 Ford Torino GT. I loved the elongated hexagons, so retro-futuristic. Night, blue, green, red and white flashlight in 50 seconds, in the total darkness before the moonrise.
Hairy Knuckles
Up close and personal with the fisheye on the 1922 Seagrave hook and ladder firetruck, still melting into the infield on the abandoned Pearsonville racetrack. It’s been heavily vandalized and parted out over the last 5 or 10 years. 51-second exposure, short enough to freeze the stars and darken the distracting background, long enough to […]
Blue Running Lights
The Waterhole, a closed and abandoned roadhouse, north of Mina, Nevada. Night, full moon with natural flashlight.
