Description
What's more difficult: trying to type out the text for this post while blasting Lady Gaga in a desperate bid to stay awake and recover from your vacation? Or attempting to make non blurry photos off the roof of a rental car going 45 MPH without unfastening your seat belt and thus drawing the ire of the local constabulary? Hmmmmmmmmm. Good question.
This is one of many shots made on a recent trip to Florida that my sister (kateblack10) and I took to see our parents. It was a fabulous, action-packed journey, and I'll be describing it in more detail once I'm finally able to divorce my head from my pillow for more than 5 minutes at a time...
Photographed off the roof of a 2011 Ford Fusion (a car we all fell in love with and REALLY didn't want to give back to the rental car company) on West Venice Avenue in Venice, Florida, on June 15, 2011.

Wowser! What a great reflection shot! The palm trees are nice, but to be expected. What I REALLY love are the buildings down the side of the hood. Fab-ooo!

Based on the current direction of my thoughts, I can envision this as the opening shot of the kind of alien visitation movie I'd love to see: in which case I'll have to write the story/screenplay. It wouldn't be an alien invasion movie...those are so overdone...heck, they were overdone one century ago! Anyway, I can see this as the setup for a pivotal scene in the beginning of the movie...the central human characters are in a car, minding their own business and the camera is following the car from just slightly above. And slowly, and with ominous grace, the reflection of the belly of the whompin' big alien spacecraft is picked up by the roof of the car as the engine goes dead and you hear a low, wobbling, throbbing sound...that typical sci-fi movie sound (ill tuned air conditioners) tweaked to sound like antigrav engines, keeping a big (2 mile wide) spacecraft in impressive hover-mode over...Florida. Such a spacecraft would--undoubtedly--be powered by some super-fuel derived from an element common in many science fictional universes: absurdium. Okay, now that I've gotten that out of the way, I have to say that I love this shot. It's what isn't really seen that draws my attention; There is a median in that street with palm trees blocking the view of what's on the other side of the street. Palm trees. Check. Comcast van. Check. What the heck are those things with the Spanish Columns...no check. WOW! Based on what everyone says of Florida, one wouldn't really expect buildings...just palm trees, alligators, and NASA. And to top it all off, you've got this wonderful off-kilter car shot thing going. NOTHING in this picture is as it should be, and yet everything in this picture is exactly as it should be. That's the thing about travel, even if it's within the same country. Things change, but it's the things that stay the same (ya gotta have buildings after all...just to keep things out of the rain!) that really show how different everything is and knock your expectations out of whack. I like this shot a lot.
