I love what you did to this shot! Look where you put that cracked window, isn't that interesting? (Why did Ruth Gordon's voice just pop into my head when I typed that line?) I really love the contrast between light and shadow in this and the way there are faint and not so faint reflections in this image. That cracked window is perfect! I love it. The shadow inside of the car is a really great contrast to the crack. It's all about that starburst breakage in the window, you know! Really great...fantastic narrative too, and I think I've seen that Isotoner. This is a great shot! I'm glad you finally posted it. I can stop pestering you now.

My grandmother always drove Pontiacs and I remember those hood ornaments; they were the best ever. I mean, Pontiac had the GTO---and omg, that's the hottest car EVER!! And your story about saving stuff is great; my mom had drawers full of stuff when she passed. Going thru it took forever because everything had a memory that we all had to talk about. Great shot and even if you never post a foto of the whole car, it's ok. I know what it looks like!!

Oh man. I can smell that car. Your photograph is so immediate! I can feel the way the wing window opens, hear the way it whistles at just the right angle, feel the perfect pull of air when you smoke a cigarette with that wing window open. There's so much more to this shot than just that one little window, but that's what pulled me in. Great picture!

Great composition! I've stopped fretting, (almost) about attempting to leave an empty house when I pop my clogs. I like having lots of stuff that connects me to my family past. They'll just need to get a couple of dozen pantechnicons for the house clearance.

I knew this was your photo right away Corey. I am an old car buff and have maybe one old truck in my gallery...saying to self, must do better! Until then, I'll ponder all you put up and enjoy them to the max. I cleaned out my house in 2007 (sort of) and finished the job with Tara's help last month. You've got me thinking of what I am still dragging around...how about two old sabers and a bayonet marked 1849? ...er, and a peace pipe made from a root, an ancient powder horn and a wooden game box from my great, great grandfather?

wonderful shot!

FASCINATING SHOT

Really interesting shot Corey - love the way I feel like I am looking into something - almost as though I'm not supposed to - the photo gives me a feeling of privacy - almost invading the privacy of this old doll but not in a bad way :) in a very cool way - great shot - always interesting and unusual

This made me think of a station wagon that for years was parked at the end of a street I go down on the way home from work. I've no idea what brand. It was powder blue. When I first started seeing it, it was a bit of an irritant as I had to swing around it and ended up at the corner not really on my side of the street. One day it was gone, and it was rather funny, that I missed it and felt better when I saw that they had moved it around the corner to the driveway. I guess the move was portentous, because now it is gone. This is a great image! The trimming and seat tell even a totally car ignorant person like me, that this is an old car. Then to see the damage makes me start to think of the years and stories wrapped up in it. Beautiful colors, compositioin, and textures! I love the textures and colors of the trim and seat.
