Old TimerIt’s not uncommon to find a subject that you love and know you want to photograph but can’t find that one image that express the feeling or story you want the view to enjoy.  Sometimes the human mind and imagination can make compensations that the machines of the camera cannot achieve.

The interior if this rusted out old truck is wonderful.  Look at the story that is told here.  From the looks of the instruments I would say this automotive product does not have a computer chip under the hood.  You will see the key along with the leather key holder are still in the ignition.  The handle just above that is the latest in technology; this handle is used to operate the wind shield wipers.  And on the steering column is one of the newest gadgets after market electric turning signals.  This is truly an old timer.

This is a fine subject with a lot of interesting detail.  Trying to find the right graphic in these cramped quarters may be difficult if not imposable.  Has the photographer considered manipulating the subject on the computer to add distorting or texture?  This may not be the photo-artist’s thing, it’s just a suggestion.
