This gallery is a complete chronicle of my 40th year, starting on my birthday in 2008. I posted one photo each day for a year. The photo-a-day project continues in this gallery here.
May 25, 2008; Day 23. Before arriving home from a very pleasant stay in Vermont, I stopped at a classic car show hosted by a friend of mine. A growing number of my friends have picked up a classic car and are now suggesting that I join them. Someday, perhaps, but at the moment, one expensive hobby is enough!
This beauty is a DeSoto that everyone swoons over whenever it appears at these gatherings. Most of the pictures I took at this show were like this: macro details captured with my Sigma ultra wide lens. Now that I've studied them, I think this lens distorts these subjects too much. I did like this shot because it makes the fins and the car look big, which they are.
