Beautiful things don’t ask for attention, from “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty”

I have always been intrigued by the duality of speed and form – from riding my Schwinn Sting Ray bike when I was a kid to driving my first Corvette when I was 28.

My passion for cars is captured by another passion of mine: photography. Similarly, I have been interested in photography since I was a kid.

You will notice that my photographs do not show an entire automobile but rather only a small section of it. I feel this better portrays the essence of that automobile. I try to highlight the key attribute, whether a rolling classic or a common car with unique flowing features – turning the mundane into magnificent.

Though I enjoy photographing a variety of subjects, I often “see” them in a similar way. An automobile’s fender curves much like that of a woman’s body, a waterfall has the same sparkle of a car’s chrome. Or, a tombstone could be either like a boxy car hood or ornate like a hood ornament.

These images were taken with a digital camera and processed in my computer.
