December Photo Essay: Reflecting on Automobiles
by jomari

Comment by insteps:
Your essay reminds me of Australia. Sure I've never been there but you've capture the tones and light I would expect. With the warped reflections you've turned an auto show into a funhouse of mirrors. The cars of today just aren't as photogenic as they were in the 70's and earlier. Must have been a treat to be surrounded by the beautiful lines, colors, and of course chrome. Nice addition to the December photo essays. Thanks

Comment by ubique:
Your stuff's always interesting Marion. This essay isn't quite as absorbing for me as was your terrific Wrecking Yard essay, but that's only because these pictures are easier to resolve than were the much more abstract wrecking yard images.

But it's still a clever and reflective (groan) series in which the total effect exceeds the sum of the parts, and there's a coherent point of view. So the interest in any one picture is multiplied by its relationship to the others and to the artistic theme.

Next I'd like to see an essay about sweeping those paths. Or about not sweeping them. Probably the latter would be the most fun, in your hands.

You always entertain and very often surprise with wry points of view that attest to your youthful (well done you!) curiosity and your lively intellect. And you always leave a smile on my dial. Thank you.

A great smile! A candid portrait by a standard definition - perhaps not as much by this challenge definition but I realize not everyone reads the full definition.

I love reflections and you certainly have found a lot of fun reflections. Wish I knew more about cars. I think this is my favorite.

Beautiful girl. I'm having some difficulty finding the candid nature of the shot.

Hard to pick one favourite, I think this may be the one. Very Dali-ish. An interesting collection of reflections & cars.
