Ramblings from an old lion who is no longer all he was, but is still a lion. My wife wishes me to point out that I may be white, but am hardly exploited and she does not keep me nude. Not lately. I am married to the most beautiful woman I have ever met, and also the best cook. A deadly combination which certainly colors my writing. I still wear the pants in the family, except when she makes me take them off for the laundry or whatever. Go Twins!
I look at this photo quite a bit. I can taste the rain, and the metal. I can feel the coolness against my cheek. I can imagine the tactile difference as I hold the red plastic in my left hand and the chrome in my right. Tail lights are so frigging cool. If anybody knows of a photo book devoted to '50's tail lights, please let me know. Tail lights and hub caps ... lost American art.
This is one of my all-time favorite photographs. Totally gorgeous.
