1963 chevy impala
made it out to the historic front street car show yesterday. had never been, but have seen pictures from past years, showing an impressive assortment of cars.
i was somewhat underwhelmed that there seemed to be only a lot full of cars. sure i can understand that there were more than a few other shows going on, and i was there earlier than move in was really expected, but still. other streets were not closed off for the show, as should have happened per past expectations.
well, fewer cars, fewer people, this early. i had time to shoot what i wanted, without much problem. i did have a minor problem, with a particular person who'd pissed me off in the past, so i mostly skipped shooting any of his club's cars. petty, perhaps, but i remember, even if he didn't.
found this impala toward the far corner of the lot. owner, and i believe his son, sat behind it, and i hate to inconvenience people, so was just going to shoot without disturbing them. when the owner asked to see what i was shooting in the camera, i took it as an ok to move in closer.
opted not to show him the camera images, as i happened to have a book of old prints with me. let him look through that instead.
anyway, nice chat. so i'll post this shot, with the presumed son standing in my shot.
