Hi, I'm Marilyn. Ă‚Â I've been posting here on RR for a few years now and thought it was time to update my profile. Ă‚Â It's been wonderful learning so much from the amazingly talented people here. Ă‚Â I've had the chance to meet many in person and some have become great and good friends. Ă‚Â Starting with a Kodak Brownie camera when I was about 7 or 8, moving up to Instamatics, Polaroids, then the Pentax K1000 that really got me on the way, I've been looking at the world thru a lens for a long time. Ă‚Â Got the bug honestly; my dad was a photographer and gave me the gene!! Ă‚Â Digital changed the world and I jumped in with both feet. Ă‚Â You would've gone thru 100's of rolls of film in one day the way we can shoot and delete all day long. Ă‚Â Progess...it can be awesome sometimes.
At any rate, RR rocks, the talent is over the top and I'm just gonna keep on shooting!!
Thanks for looking and keep those cameras rollin'!!
peace.....marilyn

And a lot of stuff there is, although I'm sure engines then were a lot easier than they are now. Nice shot, Marilyn!

This could just as well be from outer space... I am so ignorant about cars and engines and things... I love the bling though.... Lovely shiny motor and so clean you could probably do open heart surgery on it!!! :))

What a hunk of machinery. Some of the best cars out there. Never more. Aloha

Vaarrooooooom!!! Three carburetors on that terror? Give me a break! Tuneup time! You don't drive that car, you launch it! Lots of contrast in this neat overhead shot of the super engine, Missy Marilyn. Vaarroooooooom!

I used to treat all 3 stoplights in town like a christmas tree and hit the floor with my foot just as the light changed to green. I left rubber wherever I went. On the couple mile shell road that lead to my house, there were small shell/gravel side streets that met it. At the opening of each side street, the grader would, once a year, leave a big hump of shell and gravel as they scraped the main road. when I would drive this road on the way home from high school, I'd make sure my passenger side tires caught the pile of graded shell and gravel which would send my car up on two wheels (driver's side) and I'd see how far I could go before coming back to all 4 wheels. Yeah, you had to hit those piles going about 50 miles per hour and yeah, a slippery shell and gravel road was not really a safe place for that speed and yeah, I could have lost control and ended up upside down in either of the 6 foot deep drainage ditches that lined the road...but I didn't and I loved it then and I'd still do it today if they hadn't of covered the shell over with asphalt about 20 years ago! LOL

I don't recall ever seeing a big block with three carbs - maybe my memory isn't all that good. Nice photo though, and it obviously clicked MrsLubner's memory big time! Now we really know what she's like - LOL!

well I hope my count isn't off, but this is 1200, right? Close to it? (I counted up from here to your most recent image: 1200!) Well I know you don't make a big deal since you have gallery plus (or whatever it is), but still, it's 1200...so congratulations! This engine is big & blasting & bold, and you got a lot of blues & whites & amazing reflections & wires & motion, and in the back area, there're two splotches of pinks & reds, etc, that make it almost like a watercolor. (Is that you in the reflection?) Another shot where you isolated a part of a car and made it into a visual metropolitan area. And I see PJ was moved! And whaleman said he doesn't recall seeing a big block with three carbs—to show you how little I know, I thought 'three carbs' was 3 types of bread (lol) (pitiful!)...It's a big ocean of activity. And if my math is right, I'm faving this as 1200. Someone has to acknowledge it even if you underplayed it!
