Chrome Series:

The reflections upon reflections in the bumper, dagmar, and turn signal light of this 1957 Chevy Belair remind me of an M. C. Escher drawing. You know, the ones with staircases that go up, down, in and out of the scene at impossible angles as men defying gravity walk on the undersides. The gold color of the grille is easily recognizable and its parallel lines are distorted as it is reflected and re-reflected in the curves of the chrome surfaces. I get pretty jazzed about stuff like this. What can I say?

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.
