Ducktail Run

For the second year in a row, I self-assigned myself the Ducktail Run Rod & Custom Show in Gas City, Ind. The show is part of James Dean weekend in Grant County, Indiana where the film star grew up. The weekend marks the anniversary of his death in a car accident in 1955. As a kid, I grew up going to car shows with my folks and always had a blast at this show in particular. Being the last weekend of September each year, it unofficially marks the end of the car show season in Indiana. It’s an extremely visual event with colorful cars, colorful foliage from the park trees and colorful personalities. As someone who gets paid to make pictures for a living, it’s nice sometimes to get away from the office and the daily grind to make some pictures for myself for fun. I didn’t have any deadlines, picture count quotas or time constraints. I wandered around the park several times and shot things I found interesting.

2:50 a.m.

I usually don’t find myself taking photos at 2:50 a.m. very often. But I made an exception a couple nights ago when my folks got ready to depart my apartment for Indiana at that very time. About 18 hours later my folks were sitting in their driveway in Dunkirk, Ind. Not too shabby.

Europe through a plastic lens

Now that I’ve had a chance to go through all the film from my trip to Germany and Austria, I wanted to share my favorite photos I took with my Holga earlier this summer. Using the Holga for the first time was a great challenge to someone like me who hasn’t shot film since high school. It was a lot of fun to challenge myself to make pictures in a foreign environment with a camera that was foreign to me.

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.
