We ran into an artist in Santa Fe who specializes in weathered car and truck photography. Her gallery is superb and her web site is every bit as good. Enjoy.

Thanks, Bill. Very impressive work there! Her gallery called "Seeing Faith/New Mexico" is fabulous too, though it hasn't got many cars in it. :D

Wow! To be able to take something in such a sad state of decay and make it beautiful is truly a gift! Thanks for sharing this, Bill!

Hey, she's got some great stuff! Thanks for pointing that out, Bill. I'm going to head back for a closer look when I've got a little more time...

What is it about old vehicles, anyway? I'm admittedly not a "car guy" but I'm sort of drawn to the old ones. Maybe I wonder what the stories are behind them. We had an old, old truck growing up that my dad moved us up from California in--apparently I almost fell out of it on the way (car seats were a thing of the future). I mostly remember playing in it as a kid while it sat, broken and unused in our back field for years. Maybe that has something to do with it...:rolleyes: (that's supposed to look wistful, by the way...).
