I have an ambivalent relationship with images of old cars & trucks. On one hand I think they are often pictures we "take" of old vehicles, rather than images we "make" which reflect something about ourselves. On the other hand, they are irresistible for view camera users, since they sit still and let us do our thing. This is an old Chevrolet/Hobart generator truck parked pretty permanently next to two old barns in Madison NJ. They are scans from Pyrocat/HP5+ negatives. Given my mixed feelings, there is a good chance that these will never advance past the scanning stage, although I find the rear view of the truck the most interesting, the other views are simply documentation.
