As promised, the car in the background from the previous post, a 1932 Ford. It is owned by Mike from Minnetonka, who was there with some friends, including the owner of the red corvette. These guys love chatting about their street rods. I would too if I had one.

BTW, View from the Tundra is shutting down, being replaced by Carbon Silver, more oriented towards professional photography. I don’t have a category for that, so hope you don’t mind I keep it in the blog category.

A Prince song for a title? Just came to mind while I was uploading. This is 1962 Corvette, in beautiful shape. The car in the back, well that’s for the next post.

Added a couple of local links. Check out Sopheava’s archive page. Awesome.

The 36th Annual MSRA ‘Back To The 50s’ weekend features over 12,000 Street Rods and custom cars. Held at the Minnesota State Fair Grounds, I went there opening day and have to say it felt almost like being at the Minnesota State Fair. Warm and muggy, and huge crowds. My goal was to get some relatively ‘posed’ photos of some of the cars to practice for an upcoming shoot. Not easy given both the crowd and the number of vehicles one right next to or after the other. Some of the side alleys provide a little more space to set up a tripod, where I found this Chevy. Looking at this photo I realize I have no idea what I shot, other than it’s a Chevy. This is really something I need to work on, asking questions and taking notes, instead of just photos.
