pepperdrumstix Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Hello Doctor, I have been photographing old cars, trucks, buildings and anything that caught my attention since 1967, when I was studying photography in a local JR college, in and around Phx AZ and throughout the entire state. I have 1000s of slides and photos of interesting things in AZ, drag races in '73 in southern CA and old tractors up in Ohio in 2006. Lots of old cars and trucks in the weeds. I would like someone to see these photos but I don't know how to post them or scan them, I have a new scanner but I don't know how to connect it to my old computer. If I can figure something out I will contact you. I want to order one of your books too, but I don't have an on-line account. You take money orders? Your fan, Patrick Mitchell.

deja-view Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 (edited) Great pics! You just gave me incentive to take pics of all the old gas stations along the old US40 (replaced mostly by I80) running from Sacramento to Auburn through the small towns, then up to Lake Tahoe. In the 1950's and 60's some of those stations were still operating and my mother knew the owners as we often stopped for soda, gas, or overheating. I can't even count how many times over the years I have taken the old..."old, old" as they call it...highway down or up the mountain, slowed down, and looked at those old stations with the intention of stopping and looking around. I just never did....but next time I will for sure.

Dr. Cranky Posted May 21, 2012 Author Share Posted May 21, 2012 I've seen a few versions of Tow-Mater and I like them. He was my favorite character in the movie. I've even seen a couple done in scale. Pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCalCarCulture Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Mt. Vernon, Washington - every time I drive by this place there is something cool parked out front... This happens to be the owner's car and it's not a Radiator shop these days but it is an Upholstery shop with a constant flow of high end projects!

1320wayne Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 O.K., I'll play. This first shot was driving across interstate 80 from Salt Lake to Reno, just after the GSL contest in 2005. The shot is looking out across the Bonneville Salt Flats. Staying with the GSL trend. This shot is of Mt. Hood, just outside Portland , OR that I took from the window of the plane as I was flying back home after the contest in 2007. A1A in Daytona Beach last September. Driving through a tree in Northern California. And, just in case anyone didn't realize just how big the trunk of a California Redwood tree could be.
