As my boss pointed out to someone this week: I really like car shows. I can’t deny it. On Saturday I stopped by a local MOPAR car show to look for a feature. Knowing that all the muscle cars from the 1960s and 1970s were brightly painted in oranges, yellows and purples, I figured I’d find some good eye candy at the event. I ended up photographing a gentleman who had owned the same 1970 AMC AMX since he ordered it new back in 1969. I snapped a few shots of him cleaning the car up then spent about 45 minutes talking to him about his car. Might not be the world’s best photo, but the interaction with the subject yielded an interesting backstory about his car – including a part about the Hells Angels – that made my morning.
