Grandfather and his Model T
I wanted to post something new. I came across this image and it struck me in two ways.
The first. This was one tough photo to take for various reasons. It was dark. It was raining. The model T was moving. We were using off camera lighting so Henderson and I were both running with the car. Plus, I’m having to find focus and frame the shot. And my phone was ringing because the coordinator was saying the reception would start in 5 minutes.
The second. The grandfather driving really grabbed my attention. I wish I could have taken one photograph of my grandfather. Just one. Or have my grandfather at my wedding driving me in his Model T. Priceless!
So we were out there shooting the impossible in hard conditions. I knew one day, though, this would have even more meaning than a wedding day photograph.
And here’s my own grandfather and grandmother. They were farmers in the South. This was taken well before I was born but has always been one of my favorites.
And don’t forget! When we hit 1,000 facebook fans we are giving away an Ipod Touch. We are already half way!
