Before cars were invented, what did little boys play with? Did they have specially adapted carts with added horse power? Were there flames painted down the sides? Did the wheels sparkle? Can a carriage and four perform the same level of stunts?
It must have been a dull old world...
An abstract homage to Hot Wheels for The Three Muses 'automobile' challenge. Photographs of some seriously cool cars layered up in Photoshop with a texture I made by taking a pic of my dirty car and a stamped block by KPertiet.
I took the photos of the toys sitting on the roof of my Ford Focus to capture a nice bit of reflection and add that certain je ne sais quoi. One of the neighbours saw me and then pretended he hadn't noticed such bizarre behaviour... I'm surprised they're not used to it by now.
Vrooom vrooom.....

ReplyDeleteI had to smile thinking of your neighbours face and imagining his thoughts. When I'm out I sometimes take photos of bizarre things and see people wondering why. People need to exercise their imaginations more. Lol.

One time I was taking a photo of my neighbors sweet and squat little palms. I was holding my camera right in the center and shooting down. I had to get on my tip toes and as I was doing this I looked up and there was one of the house's residents, looking at me through the picture window. I smiled and waved. My neighbors all think I am a little kooky so... I let them.
