Chrome Series:

This is one of my first Chrome photos and still one of my personal favorites. Sadly, I didn't make a note of the make or model of the car.

The bullet-shaped protrusions on the bumper and grille are called Dagmars. They are named for American actress Virginia Ruth Egnor, who went by the stage name Dagmar.

I've made a hobby of photographing cars close up. I love the distorted reflections in the chrome of great old cars. At car shows, I'm the guy sitting on the ground with my camera, getting the right angle on a bumper, grille, or hub cap.
