Stopped for a sandwich and found a car show.

Last week I was out helping my step-son and on the way home I decided to stop and get a Pepperjax sandwich. Not really supposed to eat those greasy things and since I don't do it all the time, my body just cried out for a little lubrication. As it happens there was a weekly car show in the parking lot and although there were not many cars there (I think do to the elongated heat wave we are having) I din manage to get a few interesting (at least to me) shots of some car parts. As you can see on this hot rod even the smallest things get the chrome treatment.



On this one I just liked the way those exhaust pipes stuck out. Car was not running so could not tell how it sounded, but I bet it was sweet.









The pic below were taken because I liked the emblem and irregular license plate.
 The next one was taken of the engine compartment of the license plate car. I did a little photoshop work on it to punch up the details and give it an artsy look.


And last but not least was this thing. It is a 1955 "Oh My God It Needs Work" Studebaker. Ya got to ask yourself ----- WHY?
Well thanks for stopping by. Next week I will be photographing the Cox Classic golf tournament here in Omaha. Maybe I will get some interesting shots if I don't melt in the heat. And don't forget to check out my site at www.prill.zenfolio.com .

Cars and Parts

I am finally caught up with other obligations and can now spend a little time on the stuff I like to do. Last night I went to a car show at a local bar with my friend Rich. He has been doing some good blogging about car shows (when he isn't blogging about flowers) lately. So I decided I will try my hand at it. There were some really cool ( you can still say cool can't ya) hot rods there when I drove up. These are what I was really looking to shoot. Guess what. As I was walking toward them, they drove away. @#$%. Anyway there was one particular car that caught our eye. Me and Rich are both a little color blind but I can tell you that this car is definitely green. The nice thing about it is the owner was consistent throughout the car. Check it out below and then head on over to some more photos here.
