ARCHIVE: LOOKING AT CARS 1 – TWO CARS

ARCHIVE: LOOKING AT CARS – A NEW CATEGORY ON THIS BLOG
I’ve been posting pictures of parked cars, most of which have been taken quite recently, as part of this blog’s Outer Suburbs category. Looking back through nine years of archives though, I’ve found posts with many other studies of cars – some of which are abstract (and some downright peculiar … ) and many of which I’ve forgotten about.
And so, having posted the Looking at Chairs series in the past, I’ll try another archive – Archive: Looking at Cars – and see how it goes. As always, I’ll try for a mix of images, i.e. a range of ways of looking at cars. This first image is an abstract, but there’ll be other styles too. Hope you’ll enjoy the pictures!

This is going to be a great series. Color harmony and rhythm of form starts you off very well.

Michael, thank you for this very positive endorsement! There are going to be images in a fairly wide range of styles, and I’m looking forward to the whole thing. I’m also going to keep my Kenyan archive pictures coming of course, and the more general archive shots too. Thank you again. 🙂

This is great! Among many other things I am a car guy.

Well, that’s good to hear. I’m not a car guy, except that I have a soft spot for the long wheelbase Land Rovers I drove over horrendous desert country long ago, and for the yellow VW Beetle I drove in Kenya, but I do like cars as visual objects, and how they interact with the light.
I hope you will like this series. I’ve got 68 images of widely differing genres lined up, none of which (I think!) are in the Parked Car series. 🙂

Some cars are sculpture on wheels. And they catch and reflect the light beautifully.

Absolutely! 🙂
