What lies beneath

Since I’ve been done with finals since Tuesday, I came home to spend a few days at my parents’ place in Dunkirk, Ind. While I was home today, my dad was working to install a new 5-speed manual transmission in his 1957 Chevy Bel Air. I made a few pictures of his work as he uncovered some rust and interesting patchwork under the carpet in the interior of the car as cut a new hole in the floor for the shifter lever.

Sharlee Davis stretches her legs between laps during a swim on Saturday, Feb. 27, 2010, at the Monroe County YMCA. Davis suffers from retinitis pigmentosa, a eye disease that progressively gets worse over a period of several years. Diagnosed with the disease more than 20 years ago when she was 21, and she now can only make out light and dark patches.
