So another semester has come to an end and now all that is is left are a couple of finals and papers. It's been a really busy semester, but also an enjoyable one. I've learned a lot about Photoshop and more importantly I've gained an appreciation for all that it can do. I still don't have a love for computers, but it is incredible all that can be done. I truly look forward to taking another class next semester. I feel that I hit upon a project idea late in the semester and unfortunately I was not able to fully explore it. I would like to continue shooting car graveyards and junkyards. I know that it is something that I will enjoy working on because I feel very passionate about it. I think that there are many stories to be told from a neglected car sitting in someone's backyard. Sometimes the owner just drove it to its resting place and maybe was too lazy to bring it to a proper junkyard. Or maybe it was bought or traded with the intent to restore it to its former glory and fortunately some of those plans come true. More than likely though the once powerful engine will remain quiet until all the metal completely rusts away into the ground with only a few pieces of plastic left to tell the stories of joyrides and drag races. I feel weird to get over sentimental about cars sometimes, but they are such a huge part of American history and my life and they continue to be whether they are displayed at a car show or forgotten in the forests and fields of rural America.
The pictures seen above are some of the ones that I worked on over the course of the semester that are some of my personal favorites. This blog will continue and I hopefully will keep posting every week (or at least fairly frequently). Thanks to everybody who has been reading this semester!
