When I saw Jay’s Shadow Dancing image I was intrigued by the texture and color of the huge rocks. I wanted to play on the texture and color but with a man made object. The rust and patina on the rear of this old Cadillac afforded me what I was looking for. Along with the low wide angle viewpoint the image has a monolithic feel to it. The characteristic mark, the badging, felt like to me as a old cave drawing made by a native, left for some future generation to discover.

Ya, I hear you Martin. If I owned the car I would just put a dull clear coat on it and leave it the way it is….took a long time to get that Patina…!

Russ, Thanks man, Rust with a nice patina is one of my favorite things..next to coffee, chocolate, wine, music, the sound of a nice V8 engine, dogs, late afternoon light……………

Eliot, I played the Caddy_II image because in my gut I felt the strongest about this one over the other two I had of this auto…..whenever I do that..go with the strong feeling, looking back I never have any regrets..I’m a happy puppy !

Thanks Jay, I had three images of this car, and I am happy with the one I played.
Might make a print for the wall…..
