First Car Show for 2013 /
I went to my first car show for 2013 this past Monday and I didn't take my camera. That is kind of unusual for me, but I had spent a day taking pictures on May 17th at Pegasus Farm. I was just short of 800 pictures that day and had spent a solid two days reviewing, editing and publishing them, so I was a bit burnt out on taking pictures for the car show. However, it was fun getting together with Rich and Tom for another season of car idolatry. We staked out our usual spot under the shade tree and then went for a walk to see what the show had to offer. Many of the cars and owners were in their favorite spots and we saw many of the same faces we see each year. We are always looking for that rare gem that we can checkout in more detail.
This year I have decided that I am going to concentrate on a few cars rather that capturing the entire show. It is a little more fun to do an in depth photo review of a single car, especially with cars from the 40's and 50's. There is just a lot of stuff hanging off cars from that time frame. It gives me more time to enjoy the show and talk with the guys. I also have a bunch of car pictures from last year that I haven't published yet, so I need to work on those before capturing another couple hundred pictures.
Since I like to have pictures in my posts I decided to add a picture of our earliest form of transportation that was only 1 horse power! A picture I took of a horse at Pegasus Farm on May 17th seems appropriate.

Pictures of a 1930 Ford Model A
Riverfront Cruise In, Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio
Why is the 1930 Ford Model A such a big deal? Well it was the car that John Dillinger used in one of the most famous getaways in American history. He knocked out the rear window and his tommy-gun was blasting away at the police. Maybe that is his ghost in there looking out the window!
Total production of Model A for 1930 was 854,263. There was a total of 10 different models and the price was between $433-$655.

Corvette Up Close Photos /
The Corvette has been America's favorite sports car for 60 years, and these Corvette photos are up close and personal. No long or medium shots here. Just a few close-up shots I have taken over the years of the Chevy Corvette. Each one is truly a work of art and sometimes the finer things are overlooked, until you take the time to see each car for what it is. I took these shots at local car shows. I hope you enjoy them. If you like the pictures leave a comment or click the thumbs up. Registration is not required.
I have been considering not talking any pictures this year of the Corvette since I have so many, but once in a while you see a car that is just so nice you have to get a few shots. However, if I can stick to my plan I will start getting more close ups and a twist on the usual picture.
Waiting for my first car show this year, the camera is ready!

Ferrari Up Close Photos /
There is something about Ferrari photos that grabs everyone's attention, and these Ferrari photos are up close and personal. All were taken with my Nikon D90. No long or medium shots here. Just a few close-up shots I have taken over the years of the Ferrari. Each one is truly a work of art and sometimes the finer things are overlooked, until you take the time to see each car for what it is. I took these shots at local Ferrari car shows in conjunction with the Ohio Chapter of the Ferrari Club of America. A local Ferrari car show isn't something you find everyday, fortunately for me the local vineyard sponsors the car show each fall. I hope you enjoy them.

I hope that 2013 brings some new cars at the local shows. This year I plan of doing more pictures of fewer cars. So, yep I plan on being a little more picking with my picture taking.

Mustang Up Close /
The Ford Mustang, up close and personal. No long or medium shots here. Just a few close-up shots I have taken over the years of the Ford Mustang. Each one is truly a work of art and sometimes the finer things are overlooked until you take the time to see each car for what it is. I took these shots at local car shows and the Cleveland Auto Show. I hope you enjoy them. If you like the pictures leave a comment or click the thumbs up. Registering is not required.
There are some logos and emblems that are true works of art and sometimes we just need to step up close and take a look! It is April in Ohio and soon it will be time for the car shows. Hopefully my friends Rich and Tom are ready to get out this summer and start checking out what new cars turn up at the shows.
