I’ve mentioned on the blog before that my husband is a huge “car guy.” I get dragged all over the place to go to car shows and museums. Alas, I really don’t mind because it typically gives me some good photo opportunities. This time was a little different… We attended a local car auction related to an estate that had multiple “barn finds” still on the original property. Most of these cars were part of the landscape at this point. Some were very likely parked when I was a kid riding my bike in the 70’s! They were far more interesting to me as pieces of art at this point than useable cars or even parts cars. As part of Cee’s Black and White Challenge I thought I would take a shot at seeing what some of them looked like in B & W. I hope you enjoy. (For those interested in the results of the auction some of these cars went for $50 and some went for thousands…) For me they are priceless as relics used for my art.
You last photo is perfect. I love your framing. Wonderful entry 😀

Black and white always seems appropriate to me when I am photographing old vehicles or buildings, given that black and white has that justifiable old-time feel to it. Good job. Like Cee, I found the shot through the broken window to be quite artsy! –Curt

Interesting what you might find in barns. I agree they are priceless for your art. Car collectors can probably see more than me.
