(Snapped in January, 2011 - using a Holga 135)
To say that I'm fond of old cars...and trucks...hell, old vehicles in general...
(Snapped in January, 2011 - using a Holga 135)
...would be something of an understatement.

My affection is intense...as well as indiscriminate, and yet - has (almost) nothing to do with performance or horsepower, or anything under the hood.
(Snapped on 2/09/11 - using an iPhone and an Instagram filter)
Simply put, I like old cars for the way that they look.

It makes no difference to me, if they're rusty or wrecked or totally bunged-up...

...meticulously maintained, or done-over...
(Snapped on 3/18/11 - using an iPhone and an Inastagram filter)
...I'm a sucker for the overall aesthetic of old cars...
(Snapped on 2/19/11 - using a Holga 120)
...well that...and the power they have - to imbue me with nostalgia for a completely different era - sometimes one that was over before I was even born.

I started drooling over old cars, long before I began photographing them...
(Snapped on 3/02/11 - using a Holga 120)
...but my iPhone and my Holga have helped me to take a blase, sorta sidelines fascination - to a much more satisfying level.

And making portraits of such expressive, weathered, even smiling "faces"...
...never fails to put a smile on mine too...
