Well...at least now I know what your back looks like.

If I ever run into you (figuratively) at a car show...I guess this is what I would see. :>P

Yes, that's typical of me at a car show. It's my best side, after all. I just need to make my way down to a car show in your neck of the woods.

I love car shows. They are generally free to attend. Besides the excellent vehicles which are fun to see and photograph, the owners are truly nice people who are thrilled to chat with you should you have any questions about their cars.

Nice, now stretch slowly forward.

Looks like a Pontiac GTO in the foreground and possibly a Dodge Charger in the back.

You are absolutely right about the GTO. I'll have a photo or two that I'll be posting of that one in the coming weeks. Not sure about the car in the background. I didn't take any detail shots of that one.

With so many talented photographers on here sometimes I mix the lot of you up. ;)

Now if I ever get you and  BigPhotoBear in the same room together there's guaranteed to be no hope for me...

BigPhotoBear is really good. I admire his avian photography and am jealous of anybody who can get aurora photos without leaving home.

Love that big Pontiac Bonneville (Parisienne?) behind the GTO. I like the classic muscle cars, but I prefer the Great American Land Yachts.

I love outdoor car shows. Not only do I get to see some beautiful iron I wouldn't get to see otherwise, but I've played music at the local ones for years. You'd be surprised by how much a good car show gig can pay! And then there are the people you meet. Yeah...car shows are fun gigs on all kinds of levels.

I don't have any special affection for the muscle cars. I am jazzed by anything with lots of chrome, be it a land yacht, muscle car, pickup truck, or family sedan from the 1940s through the mid 1970s.

Outdoor shows are the best. My oldest son and I make a yearly trek to Lindsborg, Kansas for the Smoky Valley Car Show. it's held in the city park, surrounded by these great trees that keep the August sun from becoming too unbearable.

Most of the car shows I attend play canned music, mostly great 50s rock from Buddy Holly and the like. Do you do solo gigs at those shows?

A DJ friend and I usually split the gig. He covers the kind of canned oldies you described, with live versions of some of the same songs by me, along with whatever else I may be inspired to play. That's the beauty of car show gigs. It's not a concert--the music is there to provide some background, so they're pretty easygoing.

So much white hair!

You weren't supposed to look at that part!

What’s left of mine is similarly toned.

You, me, and vixyyfox.

you look a lot like me! even the same shoes...

Separated at birth, maybe?

*laughs... perhaps...

'Twas a great pleasure, good sir! It was great to learn the art of photographing cars from the King of Chrome. ^__^

Is there some unwritten rule in photography where you need to have ridiculously high socks in order to take a good photo?

They could be higher.

There's something surreal about having a photo taken while taking a photo :) Trying for that illusive "perfect" shot.
Is that burgandy beauty to your right a Pontiac Catalina?

It's almost like looking in a mirror with another mirror behind you casting an infinite number of reflections.
I don't remember what that other car was and I didn't photograph it.

Wax on!
Wax off!

Is that a 1965 Pontiac LeMans/GTO next to a 67 or 68 Pontiac Bonneville/Catalina/Ventura?

You are absolutely right on the '65 GTO. I didn't make a note on the other car.
Thanks for stopping by.

You're welcomed... but I have the feeling the burgundy is a '67 or 68 full sized Pontiac...
