Jim,
This is a great shot of a car with personality. You isolated it well.
Thanks for sharing this gem!

I'm in awe of all the still life work we've seen so far. My main experience is with portraits and action shots. So there's a lot of new ground to cover.
At the end of a day of shooting, I discovered Jim and Eddie were photographing in a different part of the abandoned Tonopah Silver Mine Museum. The building is easily overlooked as its mostly empty. It has one very interesting small office with a broken down chair. The leather is cracked and the seat couldnt possibly take the weight of an adult! So I purloined a small plank and put t over the dangerously fragile center of the seat and had Jm Galli sit down and it held!
The light coming in from the window was very bright. Ideally, I'd have overcome the light with flash and a fast enough shutter speed to get the effect of the evening light and have the shadows opened up just enough. Still, that was not possible. We were packing up!
So here's my grab shot with 8x10 Efke 25 ISO film, scanned at 600 dpi with a simple desktop all in one printer-scanner, MP610 I got for free when I bought my wife her iMac!

Jim has, of course, taken many wonderful pictures of the mine in color film and this very chair and other treasures in B&W. A selection are here.
